do they exist. i am a single mum with no real support and financially in quite a good position so would not mind having someone to help out one or two weekends a month??? Do they exist and if so how much is it likely to cost???

an au-pair by definition is a foreign student, usually 18-mid twenties, someone that lives in, does 5hrs house or kiddywork or less per day, childcare is not sole charge.
In exchange for food,lodgings and a small allowance.
What may suit you better is a mothers help, or you could try roping in a childcare student from your local college to come and get some work experience via placement at your home? Thats free, you only provide lunch!!
