[quote=Anonymous]We are on French ap #4, one per year for 4 years. I also have 3 kids and my youngest was an infant the first 2 years. We have never rematches. I have heard of a couple of ap’s friends rematching but the reasons have been varied and seem to come from both sides. Our French aps have all been 20-22 except one who was 19 and was definitely the least “mature” in terms of childcare and roommate abilities but she was fun and a quick student and generally a good ap.

I’ve never found any use for my “matching specialist”. We are always explicit in that we wil only look at French au pairs with a couple of other criteria and they never listen to those when making their suggestions. I suggest you do what you want, look carefully at French candidates and consider anyone who meets your needs. We are also a French speaking family but don’t require the ap to speak with the kids. We know some who do but it’s defini more difficult to find a good ap who will do this - they don’t have much opportunity to improve their English if they do this and some seem resentful. Still, we’ve found just having another French speaker has increased the kids’ interest in the language and culture. [/quote]
