[quote=Anonymous]We pay about $3k more per year for au pair than we would for our school's extended care/summer program for 2 kids. And that's just the stipend and agency fee. It's cheaper than a professional nanny (which my 7 and 9 year old don't need) but more expensive than a part-time college student. We only ever use the 45 hours a few weeks in the summer and a few school break weeks. Otherwise they mostly work 25 hours per week. All 4 of our APs have extended (except the one we have now who has only been here 3 months) and all have done fun trips and bought lots of clothes and still gone home with a nice nest egg. $200 per week when you don't pay for phone, internet, water, electricity, car, car insurance, food, laundry...is not a bad deal. 23 year old me had a $20/week budget for fun stuff and I worked more than 45 hours per week![/quote]
