au pair or no 29/03/2011 12:10 - Ask Mother Hen (Locality: Galway) ----------------------------------- I have 5 year old girl in school and after school and 2 year old boy full time creche. Thinking they might enjoy an au pair for summer but we are a family of four + a dog and live in a small 4 bed semi with one bathroom. Will I have room for another person and would that person have enough privicy of their own.
Need them to mind kids 5 days a week 9.-5 plus ne night baby sitting light house work and cooking for kids expected July / August only
Looking on line the price paid is €100 - €120 a week is that too little for someone who´s responsible for your kid
