[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s going to be a higher demand for Nannies with APs going away. [/quote]

Bingo. This is why all of this is happening. The lawsuit in Massachusetts, the lobbying to get these changes approved— all come from domestic workers organizations who are looking out for their nanny constituents.  They say au pairs fall into that category, but in reality, they want to kill the program or at least make the wages high so that nannies are not competing.  [/quote]

The latest survey of host family has proven otherwise. The results show that the majority of host families will use daycare options versus hiring nannies. I think that even in the scenario of older children, it wasn't nannies that were the choice on the survey results, it was part time babysitters since typically it was less than 20 hours a week.

Let me see if I can find the graph. I don't like in MA, but maybe someone will chime in on whether the nannies there are now living the life financially. I think they were before the law changes there anyway.[/quote]
