[quote=Anonymous]Our first au pair is leaving after her year and we will be welcoming our second one hopefully without too much of a gap in childcare.  My current au pair mentioned that it is nice to overlap because they the new au pair can be introduced to some friends and she can show her around.  However, I feel like I'd rather have a fresh start since I'm not in love with our current au pairs friends anyway and although she's been a good au pair, there are definitely some habits I'd prefer not to be continued.

There's also the issue of who gets the room.  When I casually mentioned it to my current au pair, she said she thought she would keep the room since it would be hard to pack up and move all her stuff elsewhere and then move it again when she officially moves out.  While that makes sense, I'm also not comfortable welcoming our new au pair and sticking her in the basement with all HER stuff.

So it seems like it would be easiest just not to have any overlap.  What have others done though?  And how much of a gap might you have between?  Any experiences would be great.[/quote]
