[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you think that a single Mom who is a public servant probably making between $45,000 to $60,000 a year can afford an au pair at a cost of over $20,000 a year? Plus all the other misc expenses incurred. Mortgage or rent, plus bills on one income doesn't leave over enough for an au pair. [/quote] And it's still cheaper than any nanny. We fail our families in this country. [/quote] I am the PP, I agree. I was an au pair many years ago and now I am a Mom and do shift work thought it might work to host an au pair. When I looked into the actual costs though I was shocked. No way can I afford it and were on whats considered a middle class income. Its all the fees and extras that nannys dont realize we have to pay[/quote]
