HI there, I am a fellow emom in North Bend and work for an au pair company. Did you consider an au pair for you twins? I have used one myself for childcare for my twins for the past 3 years as I found it much more affordable and flexible than other forms of childcare. Both of my au pairs have been very experienced and professional and I honestly can say I have been extremely happy. That is now why I like to help other moms, especially emoms :) The au pairs are all fully screened and all their qualifications listed. It costs $350/week for 45 hours of care and you can use those hours for childcare as well as any child related chores, date night, teach the kids another language, errands etc. Both of my au pairs have become so much part of our family and will always be a part of our lives. I truly love them and they love my kids second only to us! Call me if you have any questions, I am happy to help find an au pair with those qualifications you are looking for.
ReplyDeleteP.S. There are 5 other families I support who live on the ridge who currently have au pairs. You are welcome to contact me to speak to them too. 2 of them have twins also!
