[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi there - We’re almost 3 weeks in with a new au pair. The same night that we were going to sit down with her and discuss our quite serious concerns about her actions/behavior, she suddenly announced that she’d like to rematch because she doesn’t want to live in our area.

The LCC asked the AP, my husband and I if we all agreed to the rematch (yes) and suggested that we skip the “let’s try to work on these problems” period because wanting to live somewhere else isn’t something we can “work through.”  That’s true - and we’re ready to get this AP out of the house.

I mentioned that we have concerns about AP to the LCC, but she hasn’t followed up and asked us anything about them. I assume this is so she has plausible the liability when talking to new interviewing host families.

Does anyone have thoughts about this?  Should we proactively tell the LCC about our experiences with AP?  Maybe it’s not worth because she isn’t motivated to share such info with any other host families? Will interviewing families want to contact us? Maybe it’s better off not to say anything so that we can get this done with?[/quote]

Is this your first AP?  The aupair company and LCC do not care about your experiences with the aupair. They will rematch her without even telling the new families that she likely used your family for a visa knowing that she was going to show up and "not adapt well to the suburbs" or whatever line she gave you.

They will contact you so that you know how much money you just lost on this whole thing and to give you info about finding another aupair who you will not get accurate information about because the company won't ask the host family for info in that situation either.

I'm sorry you are in the rematch loop. You can sometimes find a gem. The only way to get your LCCs attention is to threaten to drop the aupair off at their house for the 2 week rematch timeframe.  That's literally the only way she's contacting you about this.
