[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had this situation and explained to the au pair that if she is starting at a time when the kids will still be eating breakfast I would welcome her eating her breakfast with them but if she is starting after thei breakfast time she should be ready to hit the ground running at start time with whatever the kids are up to in their day. This is completely reasonable.[/quote] I've had 4 Au pairs and I completely agree with this. And it is a big deal. It speaks to how,much the Au pair cares about doing a decent job, the job that she was explicitly told to do. If she slacks off on even the most basic requirements, such as being ready to start the day on time, it's time to,sit down and have a come to Jesus because it goes nowhere good from here. You can be nice when you explain (again) what the handbook says, but you need to be clear and firm that you expect her to follow those rules. Period. [/quote]
