Child care option

We had great luck this past summer using www.greataupair.com . We saved a tremendous amount having one person for multiple children instead of feeling like we had to have them in nonstop camps, etc. Our oldest daughter actually found a family in France through this website and aupaired for them last summer which is what motivated us to check it our for ourselves.

We found that while we were initially attracted to the idea of a cultural exchange we narrowed our search to citizens to forgo immigration law headaches. We found a college/education grad that was enthusiastic and very trustworthy.

There are people looking for year long positions as well as summer positions-- which makes this a great option for school age children too.

Happy Hunting!

thanks for sharing this great tip!
