[quote=Anonymous]We typically have them overlap for a few days to a week. That way they can show them around, introduce them to some people, and walk them through the daily routine. The friends in our experience tend to change with the au pairs. Especially now with FB everyone has a few friends lined up to meet up with once here. We have the old AP move out a day or so in advance, and we are able to clean the room for them. We have a guest room that the old AP stays in and uses for storage during their travel month. Its really nice for the new APs to have an instant friend, and we have a going-away party for the old AP and her friends come and the new AP is introduced and we take pictures, etc. It provides continuity for them and for the kids. One of the reasons we stopped using nannies is because they often left suddenly and there was no training/overlap. Now, we keep in contact with past AP's, and I think it helps the kids with their transitions. [/quote]
