What is your quarantine protocol when your overseas au pair arrives?

| Our next ap will arrive in a couple of weeks. I'm thinking of asking her to wear a mask in the house whenever she's not in her room, get her tested on day 4, and then lift the quarantine once we get a negative result. So it would be around 6-7 days if all goes well. In reality, how does it work? Do you ask to eat every meal in her room? To complicate things, her birthday is a few days after arrival, so we want to celebrate it with her. |

| Your approach sounds reasonable to me. We did not quarantine, but our AP was vaccinated and this was before the Delta variant was everywhere…. |

| Can you get her a hotel room for the first week? Is she vaccinated? |

She's had her first dose of the AZ vaccine, but is out of time for the 2nd one. I was not planning on putting her in a hotel room. |

A hotel room seems over the top and expensive. You can always have her keep her mask on inside until she gets her second dose here and/or tested.
There are so many places where you can walk in and get a second dose without an appointment. Whatever you decide, make sure you are very open and upfront about what house rules you will have if the delta variant spikes. |
