[quote=Anonymous]Young APs are not going to jump right in like a summer American babysitter. Unlike your summer sitter, APs aren’t established in the USA...they arrive without a DL, limited English, no bank account, no friends, less sense of what American kids love to do/watch/eat. You as the HP must be willing to take the time to help AP get acclimated and organized. Driving is your immediate priority every day and often. It takes a lot of time, patience, and energy that you do not invest in a summer American sitter. The list goes on. The bottom line is that you have an expectation that your AP has the wherewithal to hop in just like your former summer sitters and this just isn’t the case. I agree that it appears that you have a pretty unmotivated AP are your hands as well. But honestly, even the motivated ones need your dedicated attention for the first few weeks. [/quote]
