I'm inclined to say that this is a bad sign, but before you write her off/head for rematch -- What country is she from? In my experience different cultures may communicate differently and what may seem a "lie" to us is a less clear thing for them. For example (stereotype/generalization alert) my Chinese colleagues always say Yes, even when they have no intention of doing what has been asked. They are usually right that they shouldnt do it, but rather than engage in dialogue they just ignore..

Our first AP did this and it drove me nuts. Lying over silly things made me wonder what else she was lying about. I wish we’d have rematched.

1) au pairs now are mostly too young to be millennials. I’m a millennial HM.

2) there is no golden age of young people being able to own their mistakes. It’s a classic immaturity thing.

For the second time in a month our AP has messed up. The first time for lying (very directly and we caught her in it), and the second time for being late and not notifying us about it. What infuriates me is the inability to own her mistakes---continuing to go on and say why she did instead of not being direct. She's a great AP otherwise, but this is very frustrating.

Any advice?
