One of my friends first came here as an au pair and one of the requirements were that she could ski, the family even paid for her lessons when she could no longer keep up with 6 and 10 year olds.

Hmmmm...I have twin boys that can easily out ski me on ANY terrain except maybe the easier runs as I'm heavier than they are LOL. My kids would love their own personal ski guide so that they could explore mountains without having to wait for me to join them as I can't keep up with them (9 now) but my issue would how would I know that they were qualified enough to ski safely down the runs that my boys want to do and that my boys will actually listen to them?
Ski school you know what you are getting - at their level their instructors are usually Level 3 qualified and my kids have great fun with them. While the idea of a ski nanny is great - I'd be concerned about the kids being able to literally ski circles around them LOL

I would definitely (an I'm in the mid atlantic so if you start the service I'll come up to Roundtop). My DS is 7 and I can easily see him out skiing me before he turns 9.
Depending on the terrain I'm not completely comfortable that if he gets in trouble that I'm a good enough skier to catch him or help him. So I would love for someone to ski with him or even let them be responsible for him while I ski.
$10/hour is a great rate. I would want the person to be a certified ski instructor and know first aid.

Yes. My sister and brother in law who don't ski, used some sort of ski-nanny service at their small local hill to keep our 8yo nephew out on the slopes, so that he's skiing on days when we can't take him. She says it's a great deal. The way she explained it the instructor can be hired for the remainder of the day as a babysitter, but I'm not sure the details.
