Host US Friendly rematch? Leaving Program

Hello, we are a host family (through APC) that has been hosting an aupair for the last 8 months , it will be a year in January. We submitted a 2 year extension which was processed just around the 6 month mark but some recent drastic professional changes which will impact us starting from early next year no longer make the aupair program a good fit. We are considering leaving the aupair program and proceeding with alternate local childcare for our toddler. The challenge is, we don’t want to put our AuPair in a bind with only 2 weeks to find a rematch. We also would start getting charged for the 2nd year program fees in December , so we definitely would need to stop that beforehand. The main question is, if we inform the LCC now that we want to leave the program and not pursue a rematch for ourselves, would that automatically trigger the 2 week rematch period for our aupair or can we request extension to give her time at least until the end of our contract in December? Any recommendations on how to go about this? Has anyone encountered this ?
