She’s probably on social media and comparing her setup with others. She will never be happy once she has gone down this rabbit hole. 
The aupair agency’s website lists laundry and straightening the children’s rooms as tasks that an aupair does. Sounds like she is regretting becoming an aupair and leaving her boyfriend.
Find an aupair willing to do the job and happy to be here. Having older kids is not always a benefit to an aupair. Find one who is independent and okay with reading, hiking, whatever to keep themselves busy midday. 
A bored aupair is a depressed aupair. We had two who could not handle the downtime from 9am-3pm and the rest loved the schedule. [/quote]

When she told me today that she’s always ‘exhausted’ I was stunned. She works and does so little because we often do family stuff in the evenings so she doesn’t even work the full schedule most weeks. 
This is good perspective regarding the age of the kids. What do you think are the characteristics of the APs you’ve had that like the schedule? It’s essentially the same during the school year [/quote]
