[quote=Anonymous]Only you can decide what the limit is for you. You'll have to weigh the disruption to your childcare coverage and routine, disruption to the kids' lives, whether you want to maintain contact with her at all after her time is over, and If this is the straw that broke the camel's back, so be it.

I've come pretty close to rematching myself. In our case, the AP was actually the best one we've had, except for the last 2 months of her time with us. It was a combination of summer break and the kids spending a lot more time with her, and her end of year approaching that somehow made her really mean toward one of our DCs. She still took decent care of the kids, but her attitude toward DC1 was so impatient and off-putting that I was beginning to worry about impact on DC. The dichotomy of her performance prior to that time and the last 2 months was pretty stark. To be fair, right before I was ready to have a reset conversation with her, she straightened herself out and course corrected. In the end we toughed out the final 2 months and wrapped up our year on a decent note. If we asked for rematch, I think that would have been the end of any future connection. The kids did enjoy her visit after her time with us, so I'm glad we didn't end the match early.  [/quote]
