[quote=Anonymous]Ok, this is your first Au Pair so you are cutting your teeth on managing your AP. If she thinks it’s okay to spend all her work hours on her phone, it suggests that you didn’t set strict enough rules to begin with. Don’t worry, many HFs make that mistake. My suggestion? Rematch. And then when you get new APs, start our strict and loosen over time as you can see that they won’t abuse the situation. Match slowly and carefully, fire quickly. And, disclose that you do that. After two duds, I was really clear with APs that I want them to succeed but won’t be harassed and disrespected in my own home and will give one warning for behavior before rematching. I ended up with fabulous APs after that that I still have close relationships with. [/quote]
