[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the 15:59 poster - we were VERY explict on our covid practices and she spoke to our current au pair about the realities.  I am comfortable that she at least understands intellectually what it will be like, though agree its possible she will chafe a bit once she gets here.  One adaptation we made to our expectations was to go with a younger AP than we normally seek in order to have someone who was living with her parents rather than on her own.  My thinking is that this would be closer to the experience she will have at least for the first few months of her time with us (pre-vaccines likely) - she arrives in July.[/quote]

Great idea! I am also stressing that vaccines will not be widely available for  awhile.  I had one candidate ask will all this be necesssary once vaccines are available, so I told her how delayed everything has been with vaccination--and how, yes, you still need to mask up even after you get the vaccine. Doesn't help that some au pairs and host families seem to think that the vaccine is a passport to pre-COVID life.[/quote]
