[quote=Anonymous]As a HF who uses 20hrs a week, I could easily swallow this if the agencies substantially dropped their fees. As it is, I'm basically paying our AP $10/hr. If the agency fee were to be cut in half, it would make more financial sense. We had a nanny when the kids were little and we allowed her to bring her toddler. It cost us $15/he and she brought her own car and charged me the fed rate for mileage reimbursement. If I needed 40hrs again, not a chance I'd pay nanny rates for a babysitter, which is in my experience what APs supply. The only reason we even use an AP is to have a driver, which we could live without. [/quote]
