I am having another baby in Jan and should be able to push my mate leave until sept so baby will be 8 months old. I also have a nearly ds aged 2.9 so he will be 4 by then. However due a monumental cock up on my side which involved me thinking that he will be going to school by then and now I realise that it won't be for another year, I am going to have to pay cm fees for both children. I am looking around the 750 per month mark which is going to kill the pair of us.
Recently some of the girls at work have been telling me that they are all using foreign Au pairs and not paying anywhere near that much.
We are not posh and live in a normal 3 bedroom house. I always thought live in nannys/aupairs were for the very rich, now I know they are not.
What do you wise people suggest. Is it worth it and am I mad to consider this.
I wouldn't expect anything other than they clear up after themselves & children. 10 weeks holiday per year and I don't work every week day as I often have days off during week.
