[quote=Anonymous]You say she does the minimum, but also that she didn't do other duties - I'm not sure what that means. You probably need to give her very explicit instructions, i.e. a written schedule of regular duties and then leave her a note if there's anything else that needs to be done which isn't on the regular schedule, which is PITA but then at least she's clear on her responsibilities. Let her know how important it is that she meet your expectations and that being helpful to the family is part of the 'deal' of being an au pair. After a while she would hopefully get the hang of it. If she doesn't improve then maybe you'll have to rematch. But I don't think you can micro-manage her, i.e. if she wants to watch TV for a while and then do everything later, you can't really say anything unless she is not actually getting stuff done/done properly as a result.[/quote]
