GUESS WHAT I DID...it's a BIG deal

Posted December 13, 2007 at 9:45PM in Finding a balance and time for yourself by dustbunny | Back 

dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos

 

Ok, hubby and I did something crazy but likely the only thing that will help us get through the next few years...we ordered... (DRUMROLL) an AU PAIR! I know I sound all posh when I say it but it's like 1300 bucks cheaper than full time care for all three of my kids!

 

Seriously, if you have room and you have more than one kid and you are struggling to pay for childcare, this is a decent option. We have room and we have three boys and we need hands for me to work and kids to get to and from and with hubby at the big B, he'll be traveling. I'm kind of TOTALLY excited.

 

CHECK IT OUT at cultural care au pair. I spoke with the regional lady and it all seems cool.

Whoa!! That is huge. My hubby and I have been talking about that too, but I'm not sure I can have someone else live in our house with us. I'd feel like I'm always having to play hostess and can never just wind-down.

Congratulations!

I know this will sound bad but I would always worry about my husband too. I have heard of too many horror stories of the husband straying with the hired help. Not sure I could do it.

Congrats! To rockergirrls note - make sure she's not your husbands type ha ha!

Awesome! Keep us posted on how it goes, if we have 3 or more kids, I may also need this help, I only have one sis that lives nearby and she is not always the most helpful. Are you going to get an ugly or old one? LOL

ha ha! well, I guess since the age range is (gulp) 18-26, I am the old one...and pretty, well, there are pics first, lol...kidding. I'm sure we'll get a nice girl (or guy). oh, and not relaxing, well, I may be more motivated to keep on top of things around here if someone is witnessing my slacker lifestyle.
