[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe most au pairs took the covid restriction thing well in 2020. I doubt you will be able to explain it to them now and expect it to go over well. 
Your children have always been unvaccinated. Vaccinated people have always been able to bring covid home even if they weren't sick. 
It would be difficult to rationalize why the delta variant would mean someone would need to stop traveling.[/quote]

Delta is far more transmissible than 2020 COVID.  There's some scientific rationale for you. [/quote]

Our experience is that it doesn't matter to the age group which au pairs are in. It was miserable trying to convince and monitor our au pair from September to December of 2020 until she finally caught covid from a party.  It will be difficult to rationalize with an au pair that your family now has more lockdown rules when there are not any in the community and the adults are vaccinated.

I wish everyone luck in trying to keep an au pair who made travel plans from going and explaining that suddenly this covid is more contagious than the last covid strain. The state is not locked down and schools are opening. It's confusing and an au pair will rematch if kept home.

Frankly, your biggest risk during a pandemic will always be a 20'ish year old young person who isn't related to you living in your home. We host a different au pair until September through the pandemic who took it seriously but she was even going stir crazy and going shopping and seeing friends.

I don't envy anyone with an au pair who is vaccinated that cannot trust the vaccine enough to keep the family from being hospitalized from covid19.  With unvaccinated children in my home, I'm not risking it a second time around. [/quote]

Precisely why we are quitting the AP program.  Too many LCCs looking the other way.  Too many scientifically illiterate HFs. [/quote]
