[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as it would suck, I think this would be the right call.  We need more Americans with jobs not less. Fill the pockets of Americans in these times. Go back to hiring foreign workers when things calm down.[/quote]

Most people can’t afford nannies.  Some can afford au pairs.  If they can, they should prioritize childcare in their homes, since daycares are Petri dishes.[/quote]

Wait? I though AuPairs were a cultural exchange, not an opportunity to exploit cheap foreign labor. My bad.[/quote]

I’m a nanny, and I don’t believe in exploiting in anyone.  I do believe in giving APs the opportunity to come here for whatever experience they can get.  Most important in the current environment, I’m firmly against kids being exposed unnecessarily, so in-home childcare is my vote.  Whether that means parents staggering their schedules and doing it themselves, pairing up with the neighbor next door in a closed loop, hiring a nanny, finding an AP, hoping that a nanny share keeps your child safer...  Any of the above are better options than daycare.[/quote]
