[quote=Anonymous]My children have some special needs and struggled mightily with our au pair. Initially she was super sweet to them- then I realized she was just absolutely unwilling to discipline them. She only wanted them to have fun and behave. As she got more frustrated with them, she started being mean to them, which caused their behavior to deteriorate, etc. We ultimately decided the au pair program wasn't for us. For now, we have a truly fantastic part-time nanny. I don't necessarily think you need a special needs trained nanny- you need someone who is willing to lay down firm boundaries and not get emotionally upset when kids talk back, etc. There may well be aupair's that could be good- but I decided that I needed to interview in person and check references in a way that I couldn't with the au pair program. I also decided that it is much easier to let someone go who works part time for you if it is not working out then an au pair who lives with you. [/quote]
