[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to get advice on how best to handle an odd situation.  We matched with an au pair almost a year ago- that we really liked and have been excited to get here for the kids- however the borders were shut down from Covid, which delayed her ability to come (100% not her fault).  In the meantime, we put them in a daycare center in the area- which we stayed at for a year despite problems.  We had stayed there becuase we wanted some consistency and figured she'd be able to come soon.  Well once it had been over 6 months, we didn't see the border re-opening and after a long discussion, we all agreed she should start a 1 year program abroad, and we would have her come the next summer (2022).

In the meantime, the other daycare got so bad, we had to switch the kids into a new daycare.  It's been a month of hell getting them used to this change and the new center and they are just finally adjusting to the new setting. (Dec. 2021).  I'm really nervous about chanigng everything for them again in just 5-6 months.  My worry is they will finally (hopefully) like the new daycare center and then I will be pulling them out to be with someone who (for them) is essentially a new stranger.

But we also really like our expected au pair.    I guess I wondering if we continue with the changes or if we should try and stick out with the new location?  I want to be able to have an upfront conversation with the AP, becuase if she needs to re-match that can take quite a bit of time, and I don't want to short change her.
