Is having an Au Pair more expensive than having a nanny?
No, having an Au Pair is much cheaper than having a nanny. Many families fail to calculate that a nanny also eats a lot of their meals in the family home. In most instances a nanny that works from 8 – 5 pm eats 3 meals with the children which is similar to an Au Pair. Having a nanny costs about $15 – $25 per/hour and is therefore a very expensive type of childcare option.
