[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me like she wants out too. Crappy thing is she had originally decided she didn't want to extend with me so I had lined somebody else up for February but then she changed her mind in November so I extended with her. She could have been with another family already and I could have had a different aupair if she had just found another family instead of deciding to extend an extra year with me :( [quote=Anonymous]She sounds like a moron, and I don't understand how she could have enough money to buy a car unless it's a POS used car that will fall apart instantly. But whatever, if she's not driving your kids, it's her choice to make.

It also seems like this might be a step towards getting out of your house one way or another (either rematch or just go AWOL).[/quote][/quote]

way too many au pairs ask to extend and then bail.  We just had that situation.  She was supposed to leave in March, but asked to extend until July, then ended up leaving in March anyway.  We could have spent that time looking for an au pair instead of being left in a lurch and I told her that too.  [/quote] So frustrating!! I wish it wasn't this way.[/quote]

Yes, we put a limit on it.  The au pair has to make a decision to extend with us or not by a certain month so we can find another au pair for the following year.  I would definitely not be dropping someone who had committed to us because an indecisive or flaky au pair changed her mind.  It is way too hard to find another good au pair at the last minute, especially right now.[/quote] Agreed that it is much more difficult right now. Daycare starting to look better and better.[/quote]
