[quote=Anonymous][quote]Let's get real here people. Going from a nanny to an AP is like going form Flying 1st class to taking greyhound. Compounded with that she has a below average AP and the average to high baseline is still pretty bad as compared to a professional nanny.[/quote]

Exactly.  I am always baffled by the people who have the $ for a professional nanny AND dog sitter AND house cleaners/help....and then are shocked when they switch over to the AP program and don't receive the same level of care/attention/maturity/etc.  The AP program is A LOT of work for the HF...at least on the front end...even for really good APs.  We have had four successful years...in part because I spend so.much.time getting them organized personally and professionally at the beginning.  You can't wing it.  You can't turf it to the nanny.  You can't expect it all to just happen on its own.  Stick with a professional nanny if you don't have the time, desire, and energy to put into it.  We are done this year.  Fabulous AP and I want to end on a good note.  I just can't bring myself to put in the work again this summer.  I am done going to the bank, DMV, social security office, teaching someone how to drive, register for classes, take our public transportation to the city, host their friends/family, etc, etc, etc.  DONE![/quote]
