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: http://newzealandnannies.blogspot.com/ If you'd prefer to get a weekly email with our "Question of the Week" just go to this page and ask to receive our topic of the week directly in your inbox: http://www.nznannies.org.nz/page_contact-us_543 Thanks  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Yes but it's after tax so parents have to pay tax to IRD right? Not to mention boarding = money as well. I'm not sure that's affordable for parents with 1 child. |

Thanks for the question. No the Au Pair is expected to pay tax - it's $150-180 gross.
It's affordable for some families who pay about the same amount in daycare fees (many do) and would prefer their child in home-based care. Plus we have Early Childhood Educators that work alongside the Au Pair... ------------- http://lilypie.com">
