Au Pair In Rematch With Cultural Care

[Anonymous]

Hi!,

I wanted to know if anyone is in need of an au pair. I am a HM in rematch. The au pair is lovely but just not a good fit for us. She would love to stay in the DMV and I selfishly would love her to stay around too. Hopefully we can have play dates!

She is Colombian and great with my 4 and 6 year olds. She is not IQ and I cannot attest to her driving although she has an International license and has been practicing driving in the area with her friend.

I will leave the link to her profile here in case you are interested. You must be with Cultural Care. I definitely don't mind sharing more info about our experience with her.

Why is she not a good fit for your family?

The profile states:
The au pair was staying out late with her boyfriend and missed some morning tasks…The host family also prefers a strong driver. The au pair arrived with an International Driver's license and has been practicing with a friend. Host family cannot speak to her current driving skills so a potential host family should ask her directly.

I’m sorry, but if you “prefer a strong driver” why haven’t you at least gotten into the car with her to assess her driving abilities? That’s so silly.

I'm sure they have but they haven't been in the car since she nearly killed them during the initial assessment. Since then, she's been practicing with her boyfriend and the host family can't speak to how bad/good her driving is as of today. She hasn't been driving their kids or their car.

Sounds like an aupair who wants to stay in the DC area with her boyfriend and a host family that wants an aupair who is here to be an aupair and spend time with the host family.

To the 9:15 poster - recognize please that these vanilla write ups re rematch are done by the agency and are designed to minimize the issues to try to maximize the chance that the AP finds a rematch.

You need to read between the lines. Here is my interpretation:

AP comes home most mornings with sex hair and smelling like rum and cokes, and is a terrible driver who we wanted to have help us transport our kids but never felt safe doing so.

I wouldn't post here to try to help her find another Host family. Why? I wouldn't want this next HF; go through the same thing you went through with her. Mainly stating and reading all those big red flags. Doing the rematch and finding her next HF it's her business. Let her find her own way. I would feel ashamed to recommend someone like her.

This is the perfect description

Very possibly the Au pair wrote this for herself

Former AP here.

Good luck to this Au Pair. If she's not a good driver, she can still be a good AP for a family that has subway nearby.
