[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]after a couple of e-mails, we spoke to a girl on Sunday.  It took 20 minutes to connect over skype because she'd never done it before.  she told us she was the first family she talked to.  we really liked her.  we e-mailed the next day.  no response.  3 days later, i noticed her profile disappeared, so I e-mailed her again asking whether she'd matched with another family.  no response.  called the agency this morning, just to verify, and they said she had matched with another family.

i feel like i dodged a bullet.  these moments scare me because girls who seem so great turn around and demonstrate poor communication and immaturity.  i can take an au pair's rejection, but just please let me know that, so i can move on.  also, who are these families that go from speaking to an au pair to matching in 3 days?  that seems nuts to me.

It is not that rare to match quick on AIPIA.  Our first AP was about 3 days and she had 5 other families try to match with her and like 2 or 3 still waiting on her response.  We got lucky and we had a great year with her.  Next matches on APIA took lonnger (3 weeks or so).  CCAP service up tends to give both parties more time select, APIA you gotta move quick.[/quote]
