What happens if the au pair isn't working out? Well, it's happened to us so I can tell you if the au pair doesn't work out, what usually happens is you first sit down with them and you say, "Hey, we don't think this is working out." If they want to stay, they will say, "I want to stay and I really want to do this." Eventually, if you agree that it doesn't work out and it's not the best for your children that they remain with your family, then you contact the agency that you hired them. They will try and find another family to see if somebody else is interested. They will stay on with you and help out. If they don't find another family, then they get shipped back to whatever country they came from. In the meantime, once you've figured out that au pair isn't working for you, you are searching for another one. You're back online having dialog with other au pairs that is going to be a better fit for your family. You bring them in and, hopefully, it all works out.
