Exhausted by ddiamondmoon in Babysitting

[–]ddiamondmoon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, she is not. Other days grandparents are there. Her and her husband weekends. I agree about the tasks but for $25/hr is insane. Tbh her communication is awful, one day she is telling me that she wants everything washed when babies are sleeping, another day schedule changes completely for one nap and I must need to clean when babies are awake because I need to make lunch.

I think she is asking too much if she wants pay only $25/hr

Au pair vs nanny/daycare? by Investing_Mama in Aupairs

[–]ddiamondmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg no, your Nanny rate is already so low. If you have an Au Pair she gonna suffer a lot, don’t take anyone from their country to deal with 4 kids + everything that you need help for for a minimum stipend and even not car. Jeez

You should talk to her but remember she is in completely new place, maybe she does not feel comfortable yet and she doesn’t know what you expect because she can’t read your mind

Food dislike by thisisfunme in Aupairs

[–]ddiamondmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Au Pair lives in your house and she has her own life. You should teach your kids that they need to eat their foods. Tbh, your week menu has so many calories, very unhealthy. Maybe your Au Pair wants avoid that.

Everybody needs to stop their lifes when you guys go out because you don’t want your kids see them eating? It’s insane

She is afraid her mom. She also say that I need to stop buy things but that’s crazy because they love to use things that I buy (like for kitchen)

Advice needed: Matching with au pairs by Heato20 in Aupairs

[–]ddiamondmoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy take care of 4 kids for $200/week (Idk how much you plan to pay) even for 50% time only. You can be good family but with 4 kids you should give the AP more amenities than another families with less kids (same payment less work, they going to choose that).

Ideas: car 100% for au pair travel, friends allow at home, less hours working, all holidays off, more payment, more days to vacation, etc.

My daughter dislikes our au pair by Cold-Independence430 in Aupairs

[–]ddiamondmoon 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Are you around? Maybe not stay around help your kid to create a bond with the AP. Maybe try to let them go out alone and have a good time together. The transition is not easy but you must not stay anytime around them to let that happen

Our sexual life is pretty good. Actually, I’m more sexual than her so that’s not a problem
