[quote=Anonymous]This is a generation thing. The AP generation is phone and electronic centric. My au pairs have a phone, an iPad, a computer, dreaded, etc... all the stuff. It's going to be hard to get her off it all the time. I provide a phone and my au pair doesn't use it. She uses her phone from home and only uses my provided phone as a hotspot or to call occasionally. It's frustrating. Why am I providing one?.... I have a Disney Circle at home for my kids and they are older, so I don't care as much as when my kids were younger and needed tighter supervision, but she is still on it constantly. If I needed her to cool it, I could control her access via the Circle, but they have ways around it (hotspots, vpn, etc). God knows, my son has tried. If it bothers you, have a sit down and discuss appropriate use and timing. If she doesn't follow it or slips, have one more convo...then bring in LCC. MAKE SURE she knows you are serious. But I guarantee that she will still use it or will go around it. Sneak it. In 9 au pairs, I have yet to have one not addicted to tech/phones/texting. Just don't tell her how you know, or she will turnoff her last seen status, and that is invaluable.[/quote]
