[quote=Anonymous]Our current Au Pair has been with us for almost two years, we actually matched in February of 2020 and then due to Covid she was unable to come until March of 2021. However, we talked that whole time so not sure if that added to the connection, but she truly is like family.  She is the third au pair we have had, but none of the others felt this close. She adores my kids ( almost 3, 7 and 10) they are going to miss her so much.  Our new au pair arrives tomorrow-- and current leaves on Saturday.  Does anyone have any tips on how to handle this transition? Any experience with a  much loved Au Pair is leaving and a new one coming? Letting my kids ( and us) miss her, but also welcoming a new au pair.

I have gone thru the motions with the new Au Pair ( getting welcome basket, chatting her, trying to get kids excited), our current au pair was instrumental in picking her and I feel she is lovely, but I am just so sad it is hard to feel the excitement.

Appreciate anyone that has been there and done this and any tips you may have to make the transition as smooth as possible. [/quote]
