[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a new poster on this thread and would really appreciate more input on this topic. We have already had one potential AP who sounded good in terms of experience and references back out before we could even interview her, saying that she decided to go travelling instead.

So, what do you even look for in applications, and what approach do you take in emails etc? I'm worried I might actually be giving too much info in our introductory email, and that the photos that I provide of our house and the au pair's room make it look unappealing (our house is not huge but we live in a great area, and the AP room is a good size with a great TV). I want to be above board on everything so an AP is not disappointed, but at the same time I don't want to short sell ourselves. Any advice appreciated![/quote]

NP here. Are you new to APs?

Here is my criteria:
1) Must have held full-time job for at least some time
2) Must be 21+
3) Must have a lot of experience with non-relative children
4) Must have done housework regularly before. 
5) Must be confident/experience driver

After that we go on personality - see if we click. She needs to have a good sense of humor, be independent and have some post-highschool education.
