[quote=Anonymous]We have done this with our last two transitions and are planning to do it again this summer. It's worked really great for all of us. We do it for a week and try to time it to be the first week of school (biggest responsibilities for our au pair is getting kids ready for and to/from school). New au pairs have been really happy to have some help show them the ropes, around town, introduce them to other au pairs, etc. Current au pair gets a new friend and they've all stayed in touch. It also really helps to set expectations for what we ask of our au pairs (which to be honest is not a ton) and to watch previous au pair in action. It's worked well for us because we've had really great matches and basically are hoping the new au pair will replicate what our past have done. If your au pair has bad habits, does things in a way you don't like, etc. overlap may lead to more of the same.[/quote]
