[quote=Anonymous]how far along are you into the year?  If it's early - seriously would consider rematch.  Sounds like you had a mediocre or worse AP - and also agree with previous posters about setting more expectations firmly up front and also telling candidates what you for vacation or not (we clearly say with young kids and budget we end up going to the local beach a week or two and then during Xmas break, that's when our past APs have taken vacation time).  I've had three APs.  The first one really kind of was Mary Poppins.  Second was pretty spoiled and would complain about other APs having every weekend off and vacations - and we basically said, well that's not our situation and not the agreement she signed on for, and she sucked it up (she was kind of sullen to us but was good with the kids).  Our third was 'so sweet' and 'so friendly' I wish wish wish we had rematched, she was also really so un-bright and actually didn't have as good a bond or relationship with the kids - and I could barely stand living with her & counting down til she leaves.[/quote]
