I do understand the needs of some families to have both parents earning just to cover the day to day bills. My DD1 is in that position BUT I always thought au pairs were only supposed to work for a limited number of hours e.g do some school pick ups or help with light housework when mum /dad at home or only out for short periods of time. They come as a 'mother's help' , live en famille and improve their English and get pocket money ! Never supposed to be used for full time child care..that is a nanny job and you have to pay more for that.
I am very 'hard line' about child care. To do it well requires skill and intelligence. If you want skill and intelligence it costs. Au pairs are not as costly as a nanny / day care so you cannot expect the same service
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
