[quote=Anonymous]Any tips to deal with an AP with pretty much ZERO common sense besides complete micromanagement (which is driving me crazy)?  Au Pair is so sweet, LOVES the kids, punctual, safe driver, and a great cook.  But she can't figure out things like all of the pants go in one drawer or the pink shirt that says "I'm a Girl Scout" goes in my daughter's dresser and not my sons.  Nothing huge with safety except she did let my son smash a piece of broken electronic equipment with a hammer without eye or ear protection and we came home as it was happening and stuff was flying everywhere and it was LOUD.  Other things like she never remembers to turn of the lights or turn down the heat if she's leaving for the day for her classes, she has literally left the sink running and gone upstairs for God knows how long.  All real examples and I could give many more.  I don't think any of these things are deliberate.  I think she just has no common sense.  Suggestions?  Like I said I've tried micromanaging her and pointing out when these things happen but it's getting exhausting and they keep happening!!!![/quote]
