We live in SW London and are thinking of getting an au-pair for 6 months from about mid-July, when I will start maternity leave. We have one ds, currently 2.2 yo, and a baby due in early Sept. Our ds currently has a shared nanny 3 days a week while I'm at work.
We've never had an au-pair before. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? I envisage that she would be mostly keeping my ds amused while I'm occupied with the new baby, taking him to the things that our nanny currently does (music groups, etc), and doing a bit of housework and ironing.
Do au-pairs expect their own bathroom? We've only got one.
We would prefer an au-pair with perfect English - an Aussie or Kiwi would be good. Does anyone have any recommendations for agencies in our area or other ways of finding the right person?
