[quote=Anonymous]She made one comment at dinner - that the food was good. I tried asking her some questions and encouraged the kids to talk with her but she didn’t engage at all.

I know Friday is recent. I expect she is homesick (since she said as much), but she doesn’t seem to be making an effort. She went to bed at 8 when I was putting the kids to bed. Ive encouraged her to meet other au pairs and she has some phone numbers our last ap left, but she hasn’t reached out to my knowledge. I have taken her out several times to show her around. She doesn’t seem to be learning her way around yet, my 7yo said yesterday she had to navigate to show ap where to go for her class and how to get home after. Fortunately my 7yo knows her way around!

Today she said “I’m ok” or “I’m fine” when I asked her. I think she’s maybe spoken 15 words to me or the kids total today.

I have to go out of town Friday-Monday so dh will be with her and the kids (and she has off from Friday evening-Sunday afternoon, he’s just asked her to work a few hours Sunday). I have no idea how that’s going to go... [/quote]
