3. Triplet Au Pair (2nd year) looking to extend in the Bay Area
--------------------------------------------------------
debspr - 5/18/2012 1:56 pm

 I just heard about an amazing triplet au pair that is
 available in June. She has worked as an au pair with 9
 year old triplets for the past year but would like to
 move to the Bay Area for her second year. She looks
 amazing! She is older (24), is from Poland, drives.Her
 current triplet mom host mom says this about her: 
 "Malwina is a wonderful person and our children love
 herShe is responsible with the children and will do a
 good job, our children are all 9, but she can probably
 handle a wider range of kids well. She is flexible and
 will do whatever you ask of her."The cost of a live-in
 au pair is $360 per week for 45 hour of childcare
 (includes medical insurance and agency fee). There is
 a twins discount of $575 also.Email or call me and I'll
 be glad to tell you more about this second year au pair
 (and send you her application). I also have a few
 other twins experienced au pairs that are looking to
 come to the Bay Area.Deb SchwarzChildcare and Multiples

 Child's Light charges a monthly fee (it's a flat fee
 per family, regardless of the number of children they
 see). On top of that, you pay them fee-for-service
 (e.g. whenever they see your child). They bill in 15
 min increments (vs. flat fees that most doctors charge
 for an office visit). They don't accept insurance, so
 you are in charge of submitting for reimbursement. As a
 result, there is more paperwork on your part. How much
 more expensive they are than a regular doctor depends
 on your insurance, HSA etc. We have to pay their
 monthly fees OOP -- our insurance and HSA won't
 reimburse for that, though I believe some do. After
 that, our insurance pays a portion of their fees as
 they do with any out-of-network PPO provider, and we
 pay the rest or submit it to our HSA. Originally we
 thought we'd do this for the first year, when you see
 the doctor so often. But now I can't imagine ever going
 back to the old way. The level of service, knowledge,
 and kid care is too high to ignore. Obviously, though,
 that's a personal choice.

 Oops, missed part two of your question. They perform
 most tests in-house, including things like
 shots/vaccinations, urinalysis, catheterization. Those
 are just the ones we've experienced -- I'm sure there
 are other things they're equipped to do in house as
 well. Things they send you elsewhere to do include
 radiology (X-Rays, ultrasounds, CT scans) and
 bloodwork, but that's no different from any doctor
 office I've ever been to; I've never gotten that stuff
 done by my primary care physician, always had to go to
 a lab etc. If you have other questions, I'm happy to
 answer them catherineshattuck at gmail.com or we can chat
 on the phone. I'd also suggest you meet with the
 doctors; they always do a house visit to explain the
 service and answer any questions and let you see if you
 have good chemistry before you commit.

 We love the SFbay Pediatric group, especially Dr.
 Michelle Pepitone and Dr. Heidi Moore. Dr. Moore is
 due with twins this July and will be out for 3 months. 
 Both of these doctors are incredibly patient, sweet and
 very smart.I am a nurse at CPMC and was recommended to
 this group by many of the Doctors that I work with at
 CPMChttp://www.sfbaypeds.com/meet-the-doctors/
