[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think at all depends on a number of things.  However, I would hope that if the HF did everything "right" such as send a handbook in advance of au pair's arrival, go over the rules, try to talk to the Au Pair multiple times and look for improvement, etc., and then initiate rematch, that the agency would try to discern suitable versus unsuitable candidates for being Au Pairs.  Some host families don't explain the rules, but we did.  However, the rematch document stated "mismatch of childcare expectations". Our rules were clear.  We ended up leaving the program.  It was not worth our stress level---we have enough of that at work. [/quote]

Just wondering. Would you mind sharing what your AP did that she did not agree was unsafe (and perhaps the prevrious famiky-since she did with them and they did not rematch- or did they not know...)? Do you think in this case, it was a cultural issue about the perception of what is safe? I.e.- that our expectations are higher here in the USA than in most of our APs home countries?[/quote]

^sorry, this is meant for above pp, if she reads this.
