[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have four kids: two middle school aged boys and two early elementary aged girls (6.5 & 8.5). We’ve interviewed a male au pair we like, but we’re still a bit undecided about whether we’re comfortable having a male au pair rather than female. My husband is probably more uncomfortable about this than I am, but I admit I’m not 100% certain either. Please share thoughts, or please share your experiences if you’ve hosted a male au pair caring for female host kids. Thanks![/quote]

You really need to interview the candidates and figure out if the PERSON is right for your family.  It will not be as easy as you think to find an AP willing to take on 4 kids, and a smaller pool of males.  If the one male you liked is interested in your family that is great - go for it!

I have not been worried about a male AP in our home with the children; really the only drama/concerns we have had is if they knock up any APs in their cluster/etc.

We have not had any child related concerns; but most have been rather "active" in an area with so many female APs.[/quote]
