[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should send her into rematch. It doesn’t sound like you really need childcare, and there are many families looking right now who might be a better fit for her. You might do better with getting a family member to cloister with you for occasional babysitting. [/quote]

I didn’t see anything to indicate lack of need for childcare.  However, given the mismatch in terms of covid awareness, yes, I think they should rematch.[/quote]

She has posted before. It’s not really “Covid awareness” Fauci has said that calculations for healthy 25 years old are very different than calculations that boomers or HFS with co-morbidities would make. Fauci is elderly - and gets haircuts indoors and goes to the grocery store. APs as younger healthy members of the public want freedom of movement to buy their own sanitary napkins at CVS, take a socially distant hike with a friend, or buy food (since many host families routinely fail to provide adequate food for APs). There has to be a general risk match with families and APs. There are some APs who send every dime home to El Salvador or Columbia and feel they have no options but being locked up in the basement by HFs. Others really are here for the cultural exchange and expect their HFs to understand this. [/quote]
