Our new au pair arrived yesterday. We've spent most of the day with her today except the evening after dinner and the kids' bedtime when she went to her room.
I have the next two days off work to help her settle in. Of course it is the school holidays and so the kids are about all day. Should I plan for me, her and the two DCs to be together the whole time? Would she want or expect some time alone? I was wondering about doing an activity with one DC and letting her look after the other (the DCs argue a lot...), would that be ok? Feeling quite unsure of the etiquette and I think she is too! From Wednesday we're expecting her to look after both the kids for most of the day.
