Oh - I've been meaning to share this for a while actually, but haven't got around to it seeing as I'm pregnant and that's my reason for attending the message forums here. However, I thought I should mention I own a nanny agency. We have Au Pairs who can work up to fulltime hours for $150-180pw which includes 2 evenings per week of babysitting so you can enjoy a night out with your partner!!
Website is: www.nznannies.org.nz
We also have a blog where I post articles on parenting issues and advice and a lot of our parents really find it valuable:
