[quote=Anonymous]Whatever you do, DON'T wait to act. I made that mistake with our third au pair. The last day she was in our home, I nearly marked off every minute until I drove her away. I swore I would never bite my tongue again FWIW, our most immature AP was 26. There are many good suggestions above. Remembering my past days of travel for school, negativity about six weeks into a trip/visit/relocation is not unusual. You can be understanding of that will letting her know that her attitude will need to change in order for her to be successful in her position. Also, will her schedule change in the school year? Pointing that out may help.[/quote]
