[quote=Anonymous]AP's aren't cheap. I quit the program in part because I could pay less for high quality daycare and get a better value (social setting, structured learning, multiple caretakers). The stipend is not the full cost to the family. Between the fee, the stipend, the education funds, and extra money at birthday and Christmas, I was paying $1700/month. Add in the increased food and energy, the insurance, and everything else, and the total program was costing me $22-$24k per year for an inexperienced, young girl who needed emotional support, caused drama, and brought a rotating cast of visitors. There are a lot of reasons to like and want an au pair. The "cost savings" isn't one of them. [/quote]
