The Search for a Future Au-Pair

Lately, Mat and I have been undergoing some serious brain-storming sessions regarding child-care for 2007. At the moment, my mother-in-law takes care of Miles 2 days a week while I'm at work.

However, we have just recently learned that "Mary Mary quite contrary" would like to have more free time for herself. After doing much research we have come to the conclusion that hiring a nanny would be the best solution for us.
We would hire a Swiss-German nanny who would come here to learn French. She would live with us during the week and go home during weekends. In addition to taking care of the kids, she would help out with cleaning and preparing meals.

She will probably start sometime in February or March 2007. The family pic attached is one that we added to the Profilia registration form. Our fingers are crossed that this will turn out for the best... :-)
