It's likely that we're hiring an au pair for next year: it turns out to be cheaper than full-time daycare/preschool plus before+after school care for the 2 kids.
DD (8) is 2E: she's PG with ADHD, SPD, a lot of anxiety. For her, I'd need someone who can support executive skills deficits, will 'get' that she has multiple disabilities but is also very bright.
DS (4) is, above all, a reckless wild boy. For him, I mostly need someone who really DOES have eyes in the back of her head. I'm anticipating that this will be relatively easy as a requirement, compared to DD.
If you've had an au pair and have gifted or 2E kids, do you have any advice on finding one who can appropriately manage and support your kids?
