Nannies can no longer meet the varied demands of family life! It is fast becoming more popular to host an au pair, who can do lots of child-related household tasks like kids' laundry, light meal prep and clean-up, tidying after the kids, and driving, if needed.
First time mom and long-time blogger, Summer Blackhurst writes about switching from a nanny to an au pair: Changing from a Nanny to an Au Pair. After interviewing the number of families that she has, she should know what a great idea it is!
When you host an Au Pair, you get so much more with your new, contributing family member! New host families in the Rhode Island area may be eligible for a great discount!
Full time Au Pairs work up to 45 hrs/wk (>10 hrs/day) for about $329/wk (or p/t >30 hrs/wk @ $277/wk).
