[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ap has also only been here 3 weeks and was out with a friend until 5:45am Saturday morning, then had all weekend plus yesterday off and came down yesterday evening to tell me she thinks she’s getting sick from our air conditioner and isn’t sure she will be able to work today. I am not pleased. [/quote]

We had a very similar experience with our last AP.  She was constantly sick, thought she would rally to be able to party with her friends at night.  After the second week we told her if she wasn't working she wasn't going out, which she didn't like.  After the third week of this we'd had enough.

So did she stay or did you rematch? New ap is definitely underwhelming.

Op, our first au pair was obsessed with shopping and had no other interests. We couldn’t hold a conversation with her and should’ve rematched but we didn’t really know any better. She was fine with the kids who were young, but boring for our eldest and a challenging extra adult to have around for dinners and weekends. She didn’t do much or go out, at least, but she also had nothing to contribute to a conversation. It was a tough year. Our new ap isn’t starting out well but I’m trying to be understanding as she’s new and we all miss our last ap who was stellar. [/quote]
