[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should a poor au pair be afraid to report to her agency an unscrupulous family, and risk being sent home as a failure, if the agency fails to rematch her within their two week time limit? Please explain.

Timing and Supply/Demand.

Even if she was the best au pair and the family is the worst...there's no guarantee that the timing would work to find her a new family.[/quote]
That makes ZERO sense. Every agency keeps a list of people waiting for au pairs, no?[/quote]

Maybe to you.  The agencies don't keep lists. It's mostly up to the local coordinators/program directors to help the families find au pairs. AFAIK, there's no central list, and it's very decentralized.  And if you have a poor LCC or lazy one, you might not see all the APs available.

However, look at this way...let's say there's 20 APs in rematch and 20 families in rematch. Those 20 families [b]could [/b]take one of the 20 in rematch APs or they [b]could [/b]take one out of country, or they [b]can [/b]drop out of the program. It's not [b][u]GUARANTEED[/u] [/b]that the AP will find another family.

OK? 
There's no financial incentive for the LCC to do a rematch, is there?
