[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you were expecting a mature, English speaking, self-starter, with a strong sense of self to navigate her position in a tricky work space. These APs are few and far between. On top of this, you live in the suburbs and need a driver and two months in and she can’t drive, but yet you want her to leave the house. I think you are going to need to rematch and either start over with a much more comprehensive search through a variety of agencies or return to the nanny plus live-in summer sitter.[/quote] I don't thinks that's the case. We are literally the only family in our school who does not yet have an AP. There's a big community of them and everything works reasonably well. Many APs have been in our home over the years, and around our family, for play dates, get togethers etc. Overall our AP seems to be the least mature and together of the group I've met. The delays with her DL haven't all been her fault, we've had one storm after another for weeks so everything gets pushed back. But she's not focused on it, she's not doing anything to improve her English, she doesn't want to socialize with us or anyone else...[/quote]
