Hi girls!!
We are a family of 3 (soon to be 4). Our little boy is 18 months old (when we will need an au-pair he will be closer to 2 years) and we are expecting a new baby in October.
As we don't have any family around (and my mum can come and see us at most every 2 months) I thought that having an au-pair for the first 9 months after a new baby will be born will be a good idea ( I think she should start a month before my EDD, simply because there will be no one to leave my son with when I go into labor).
We never had one, so I would really be grateful for any tips. We already started looking ourselves for the au-pair and got lots of replies. The problem is choosing the right one.
Basically, how to have a good au-pair?
We are not very rich, just ordinary family needing some help around.
Thank you for your replies
