[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] Too young. I would wait a couple of years for a male. We had our first kale at those ages (for boys) and unless the kids are really, really into sports it is not worth it that young. If your kids are first team travel for soccer or basketball or whatever then may be worth it. We went back to a female for 7 & 9; as our male was awesome for guy stuff but weak on most everything else; like laundry, being clean, etc.[/quote]
