One of the reasons given by many is that the recession has played a role in the upward swing in childcare costs. The explanation being that with flex work hours, reduced schedules and odd hours- costs have risen, as these types of schedules are more expensive to staff for on a regular basis.
Around the country costs can easily top $12,000.00 per year- PER CHILD…
Financial savoy parents are realizing that to pay top dollar and adhere to the confines of a day care center’s hours and restrictions is not getting the most for your money. Couple this with the desire to positively influence the cultural experiences of our future adults and these same parents are looking toward hosting an Au Pair as a very exciting and rewarding solution to both issues. Another important financial benefit of an Au Pair as a childcare provider is the cost does not increase with the number of children.
Hosting an Au Pair provides the children and the family with a cultural experience of sharing traditions and experiences. Hosting an Au Pair also provides the flexibility to adapt to the ever changing needs and schedules of today’s family. Hosting an Au Pair helps the busy family of today keep on task with scheduled activities for the children and healthy eating and habits as desired by the host family. Last, but not least is the financial savings of hosting an Au Pair- the costs are essentially fixed and best of all the fee is PER FAMILY- not per child!!!! Couple this with the fact that the Au Pair is flexible, in the home, can work days or evenings to fit your schedule, provides direct interaction with your children, can assist with tasks in the home as they relate to the children and you have a winning combination.
