[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I discovered that at least with APIA, extension is pretty low risk in the sense that: AP has earned her flight home after she passes the 1 year mark.  So, it's entirely possible for us to decide at some point into the 6 months (even at the beginning of the 6 months) - with 4-6 weeks notice - that we're going to end early and we (HF) get "credit" so that we haven't lost anything.

I wouldn't say that the past year performance was "mediocre".  What I said before - and still believe, is "fine not great".  For me, "great" would mean an AP who frequently takes the initiative to help the family going above and beyond without being asked.  "Fine" being: she does all the things we ask, and we are not shy about asking, and is responsible/respectful/etc.  Our AP works some part of the weekend almost every weekend (we are careful to give the full weekend off every month).

The main concern is how "into" the job of being an AP/caregiver for school-aged children she is, and can she sustain enthusiasm for an extra 6 months. [/quote]
