[quote=Anonymous]I would tell any potential host family exactly what you wrote below. You could frame it like,

"I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who loves being around kids, and is low drama. I'd be less likely to recommend her if you need a strong driver, and from our experience, her motivation and work waned significantly toward the end of the year where she was no longer meeting our needs."  You might also add in that you don't feel that your family and the AP bonded well, since the feeling to not extend with one another was mutual.

A good host family will ask more detailed questions, just like a family who loves their AP would give more detailed information about why that HF should hire that AP.

As a side note to your comment about California, it's hard to not to feel a little bitter about an AP not wanting to extend, even if you wanted her to go. It's kind of like a break up when the other person breaks up with you before you can break up with them. It's a bit of an ego blow, but, trust me, you are going to be dancing when she leaves the house!  [/quote]
