[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, think carefully about this advice to get a nanny/housekeeper. Au Pairs are a lot of work, and they are limited in what they can do because the program is so restrictive. You can pay someone $20 per hour for 20 hours per week and still not even come close to what you pay for the au pair program. But, you'll have a lot more flexibility in what you are able to have them help with. [/quote] Thank you for all the thoughts about the best option. I do want the full time and live-in status, but your point is well taken that perhaps, even though it's permitted by the au pair program to have them do housework, perhaps they do not necessarily expect or want to. I will give all your feedback consideration. Thanks again, OP[/quote] They can do housework. They can do a lot of housework (laundry, cleaning up after kids). What we're saying is...they may resent it if they're always doing housework while you're playing with the kids.[/quote]
