[quote=Anonymous]we are also thinking of doubling or close to it. We went from 30 hours a week mostly pick up and caring for one child to caring for three a full 45 and managing online learning, managing lunch and sometime dinner etc. DH and I are working from home and being asked to put in 13-14 hour days now. So it's a high stress situation and I know she is feeling it. also ours is from China and actually things have totally normalized for them at home now so she is tempted to go home. And apparently a lot of au pairs are rematching because other families aren't able to get anyone so they are offering big premiums for au pairs to switch. Our LCC had some other good suggestions--make sure you are offering online learning, the agencies sent out info about it apparently, but I missed it. And maybe offer an extra week of vacation in the future, assuming things normalize, au pairs are upset they are missing out on chances to travel and see things. good luck, everyone![/quote]
