[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the process right now. I just have a few comments, not really any questions.  So stressful and time consuming.  It's our 5th year doing it.  Last year, I remember expressing the difficulty of matching to our then-current au pair, and she was surprised.  She thought it was just so easy for host families.  Ha.

Anyway, I have been reaching out to au pairs trying to start conversations about potential matches, and I got this message back this week:

"You are not the right match for me. And therefore I think it is fair for both parts if we just end it right here and try to find the perfect match for us both. "

I actually really appreciate that message, as I can easily move on to the next.  It's so much better than just not responding, which is what some do.  But it is also funny to me the way she said it, with absolutely no indication as to why.  Makes me wonder what she is looking for.  Not that it matters, just interesting to me.

And this year, I have had a few who don't even bother to log in to look at our profile.  I think that is odd.  I use CC and APIA, and CC tells you when they last logged in, so you can tell when there is no way they even looked at your profile.  That suggests to me they have people who really aren't very serious about matching.

Blah.  Just blah.  We're getting there.  I do have a really strong lead that we are excited about, so that's good.   [/quote]
