[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For full time live in care without a fixed schedule (for example can choose to schedule au pair to work from noon to 9 pm if that’s what’s convenient for you this Tuesday) the price of au pairs is less than measly. $30k is a lot to spend in a year. Most Americans can’t afford it. And a lot of families in the AP program really can’t afford it and shouldn’t be in the program. [/quote] For live-in care in a non au-pair in environment, there is no massive program fee, no all food expenses, no car insurance, no phone, no taking off work to go to driving test (usually multiple times), no educational expenses, no commitment to day tripping to expose them to the area, etc. Having an au pair is a lot of work if you want them to really get a lot out of this experience. We have an extraordinaire, and with the agency fees, it is a lot more than daycare (for which we have been on waiting lists for years), and a lot more than a nanny share.[/quote]
