[quote=Anonymous]We had full time nannies for about 8 years, and have now hosted au pairs for about three years. The flexibility and convenience of au pairs is SO much better than nannies. Could we pay for a live-out (or live-in) nanny with the same flexibility? Sure, but why? There is a difference between "can't afford" and "find it foolish to waste money" - and in the case of the flexibility that comes with the au pair program, to find a comparably flexible nanny would just be throwing money away. For what we need - reliability, engaged, smart, fun, flexible - we've found au pairs to be a MUCH better fit. Nannies were less reliable, frankly not often as bright, and less flexible. [/quote]
