[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and thank you all. I just need to make sure that I can share constructively because there is a part of me that would love to vent. And that does no one any good. AP did share yesterday that this is a first time HM.

To the PP: may I ask, did you decide to tell your AP about the car tracker? I am curious how you set that up with her (I just got car tracker for our next AP and was thinking that if I let her know it exists she will be more careful).  [/quote]

It's in our handbook, which we send before matching. I explicitly list examples that it tells us info about car diagnostics (low gas), speeding, hard braking, etc.

We have had 1 incident (ending in a rematch for other childcare related reasons) where we found AP failed to actually read our handbook (and it was NOT a language issue because she was fluent in English). So, we verbally mention it as well.

A paranoid AP who cannot stand the idea of cameras or a tracker would not fit with our family. We have a nonverbal baby, so the ability to spot check what's going on is priceless. No, I do not 100% trust in a foreign AP who just arrived in my home and this country from day 1. But when everything is going fine by the end of the month, I might only spot check a few times a week because I miss my baby rather than trying to spot if AP is on her phone instead of interacting with the kids.[/quote]
