Some that could watch the girls during the day and as compensation i'd pay her the $1200 that we pay for daycare now and a free room.


I think that's right about the going rate. fantastic.. so money wont be an issue for you.

You just have to be SUPER careful about who you pick. that's the tricky bit. sigh.

The "free room" bit, i think is usually for an "au pair" situation. There may be others, that dont actually need or want the "free room", but just want a daytime situation. You probably have a few different options open, for that kind of money.

heh... everyone has their quirks. Sometimes, it isnt as important
to understand WHy they are the way they are, as it is to just find a way to happily get along with their quirks ;\)
