Info about au pairs

[Con]

I am wondering how much a live in au pair would cost and where you would go to employ one. At the moment the kids are being sent to a childminder for Thurs and Friday but the eldest is getting bored there as all the kids are younger so we would consider two options... a) a full time live in au pair or b) some sort of part time arrngement for the 2 days a week. Thanks in advance

I've heard www.newaupair.com is good.

Thanks Niamh, I registered with the website and sent my details to about 12 au-pairs. I will have to pay a fee to the website before I am allowed contact them directly but hope that it works out.

Can you get an au-pair if you haven't any children? Just to hang around like.
