[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking of getting an Au Pair, but have no intention of using anything over 20 hours a week. Is this common, for folks to use lower than the standard 40 hours? I’m wondering if the AP would be bored- sitting at home all day waiting for after school pick up. [/quote] We didn't get an AP until our kids were school aged. We really just needed an extra driver. During the school year, our AP is "on" 3 mornings a week from 6:30-8am and then each afternoon from 2:45-5:45, usually dropping a kid off at a practice and leaving, then we arrive there on our way home from work. Even in summer we are not clocking 40hrs. Today the kids are both in camp from 9am-3pm, so this week is 7:30am-9am and then 3PM-5:30. We do use some weekends and evenings, but quite honestly the weekends are family time and we enjoy spending time with the kids.[/quote]
