[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with this too. BUT my budget is not more than 2000$ a month on childcare, which is what a typical au pair would cost (consider au pair's weekly stipend and agency charges). If I have to get a nanny for even 40 hours per week (160 hours in a month), that means I will have to find a nanny at 12.5$ per hour plus risk the fact that the nanny would be "out of my sight" for outside of that 40 hours per week. So if the nanny catches the virus, me and family are at risk. There is significant merit in the au pair program, especially in the current COVID world we live in. If I can find a live in nanny, who is American, and who would cost me the same amount of money that an au pair does, I am all in! Otherwise, unfortunately, I cannot employ an american at this point and would rather want to rely on au pairs [/quote]

For $400/40 hours, you can afford to both go through an agency and hire a beginning live-in nanny.[/quote]

Live in (American) nanny for $400/40 hours? Where? [/quote]

Your Child’s nanny
NannyPoppinz

Very useful info! THank you

Any other agency that places first time live-in nannies will help you.  They will have experience (Nannypoppinz requires 2 years, ycn requires 1year), and $10/hour is average to start.  If the fee is more than 15% of the first year’s salary, move on.[/quote][/quote]
