[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the AP is unable to manage DL, is that grounds for rematch?  It's a lot to ask to keep kids engaged paying attention so not sure if that is realistic or not but AP does not seem to understand different strategies to try after we discuss repeatedly. [/quote]

Guess what?  She's not a teacher.  And as MANY parents have noted, there's a huge difference between doing homework after school and forcing a child to attend zoom all day from home.[/quote]

So that's a no?  I get your point however, it is what it is and if a family now has needs the au pair can't meet, they may need to move along and hire a nanny who is capable.  Everything is different with Covid.  It's not a ding against either it is just that the au pair may no longer be able to meet the families needs now that the needs include virtual school.  [/quote]

Our aupair handles virtual learning with my 3 kids and their different schedules wonderfully. If your AP can't, rematch or hire a nanny. Our childcare needs have changed during the pandemic. We don't just need an AP to drive kids to after school activities. Now, we need someone to monitor DL and help make sure kids log in. Not to teach, but to monitor.  If an AP isn't capable and doesn't match our childcare needs anymore, we need to figure out how to hire someone who does.

If all your kids need is someone sitting in the room and making sure they're signed in, you're lucky.[/quote]
