Au Pair in America Reviews 

My year as an au pair in the United States was an extraordinary journey that profoundly changed my life, and thanks to this AGENCY, everything was more than perfect! They supported me from the moment I asked for information, through the interview, the departure, and once in the United States, my LCC Dominique in Arlington, VA, always took care of all of us. Thanks to this agency, I found my host family, the best one! They made me feel like part of the family from day one, and I am still in touch with them, knowing that I will always have a place to call home.

I achieved many dreams while in America: I attended an American college, made friends from all over the world, and have even met some of them again in different parts of the globe. I visited places I had always dreamed of, traveling to 25 states out of 50, and revisiting some multiple times! At the end of my year, I spent 25 days traveling along the West Coast and Hawaii.

Being an au pair wasn't always easy, but it was in those challenges that I found my strength. This year enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined and will forever stay in my heart.

Being an au pair has been an incredible experience for me. I'm happy I chose Au Pair in America, I was very well informed and guided during the process before coming here, and I had the opportunity to match with a lovely family who has been very welcoming during this year and a half that I've been with them. Being an au pair has for sure been a rollercoaster with learning and experiencing a new country but I have had a great experience.

I regret to say that our experience with the coordinator for au pairs in our area was highly disappointing. Throughout our interactions, she demonstrated a lack of responsiveness, which was especially concerning given the nature of her role. When our au pair reached out for assistance, the coordinator not only failed to provide the necessary support but also responded with unprofessional and unpleasant emails. This behavior is unacceptable and undermines the trust and reliability we expect from a service meant to ensure the well-being and support of au pairs.

Instead of feeling supported and guided, our au pair was left feeling frustrated and isolated. It's crucial for coordinators in this role to exhibit empathy, prompt communication, and a willingness to help. Unfortunately, our coordinator's actions were quite the opposite.

I hope that steps will be taken to address this behavior and ensure that future au pairs and their host families receive the respectful and helpful service they deserve.

This is my second time as an AuPair with this agency. The first time I was blessed with a WONDERFUL family and the same for the second time. I am very happy to be here and always think it was my best decision ever!
Being able to see new places that we only see in movies, but also getting to know real American families, their customs and living with them! Thanks to this I met wonderful people, a second real family and friendships for years! I also fulfilled one of my biggest dreams and saw New Orleans!😍
To everyone from the bottom of my heart, if you are thinking about flying out, I recommend and encourage you to make this decision. You will not regret it!

This agency is one of the worst for Au pairs. They don't care about families or Au pairs, only about money and rematches. Even if the Au pair is endangering your child, you have to house them while they do nothing but stare at their phone until you find a replacement AND you have to pay them and feed them while they are doing nothing at all for you. The agency provides no support and is inept at vetting Au pairs. The Au pairs lie about driving, experience with kids and more, the agency doesn't care or support you as a host family. I do not recommend this agency. Please avoid them if you care about your sanity, home, and kids.

Sono venuta a conoscenza di Au Pair in America sui social ,successivamente con mia figlia abbiamo partecipato a una fiera dove era presente anche lo stand di Au Pair in America e la dolcissima Silvia ,la responsabile e' stata subito disponibilissima,ha raccontato la sua esperienza con passione e dedizione a mia figlia che ha poi deciso di partire.Nei mesi successivi mia figlia ha compilato tanti form,tanta burocrazia e Silvia e' sempre stata presente!Adesso mia figlia e' in America e tutta l'organizzazione fino a destinazione della famiglia e' stata perfetta dal biglietto aereo richiesto appositamente dalla Sicilia fino all'orientation a New York,adesso e' in Pennsylvania dal 29 maggio e si trova molto bene,Consiglio a tutte le ragazze che vogliono fare questa esperienza di risolgersi a Au Pair in America

I'm a first time host family. And I will never return to this program. In my experience, AIPA has clearly not fully vetted IQ, the local LCC is utterly in effective at best and completely unsupportive of Host Families.

I don't doubt there I things j could have done differently from the start as I am a new HF, but I know I've poured my heart into making everything work and have experienced problem after problem. I cannot wait for this year to be over, this has been completely draining. I look forward to hiring a local Nanny. I'd never advocate this program to anyone.

Hy
my name is shittu Khadijat Oluwaseyifunmi
am from Nigeria
I registered with Aupair in America recently and I have meet up with there requirements!!

recently I was marched with a interviewer with the name "Keagan palm"
Contact number is +27 76 184 8860
who sent me breakdown of the program and every other documents that has to be provided!!
but I felt suspicious after the fee breakdown section are all to be in south African rands and not UNITED states' USD

please how true is this interviewer or the person in particular

I just come back from my Aupair year and it was a better experience than what I thought!
I saw 13 states in 1 year and split my experience between New York (where I went through a friendly rematch) and Hawaii… my dreams comes true, and it end up been even better than my imagination.
I just want to say a huge thank you to this program, that gave me the opportunity to live all of this.

APIA is the best agency!! I definitely recommend it. The prices are way cheaper and affordable compared to other agencies. I've been an Aupair for almost 2 years in the US and whenever I needed help they were there to help me.

Au pair in America gave me support doing my rematch. My LCC talked to me for hours until I was feeling better.
It makes my experience as an Aupair much better

Just returned from my experience and I would recommend it to everyone for personal growth. I was looking for a cultural program, that would give me the opportunity to travel, learn about new ways of thinking and improve my level of English. I came across several agencies, but what made the difference was certainly the service and how we were followed during the entire experience. Thanks to Silvia for her professionalism and sweetness.
If you choose a good agency and a good family with the same values, you could have an amazing experience that won’t forget.

I'm just here to say thanks for Stephanie Peacey and Patrycja Kolsut from the APIA office. They have helped me a lot in the process of meeting families. I am grateful for your help :)

La mia esperienza con AuPair in America è stata fenomenale! Le ragazze con cui feci il colloquio, ormai nel 2016, ricordo che erano super carine e mi fecero sentire subito a mio agio. Consiglio a tutte le ragazze che vogliono prendere un anno sabbatico di partire per questa esperienza: non ve ne pentirete!
L’unico consiglio che do all’agenzia è quello di permettere anche ai ragazzi di poter partecipare al programma: quando sono partita io nel 2017 non c’era questa possibilità e non so se a distanza di così tanto tempo hanno dato la possibilità anche ai ragazzi di poter partecipare ma se così non fosse sarebbe bello poterlo fare. Magari è un tipo di esperienza che potrebbe interessare anche a loro.

I had the best experience , shall be going again!

Hello everyone. I am currently being an au pair. I would like to share my experience so that I can also help other girls who may find themselves in the same situation. I experienced the rematch. It was a friendly rematch thankfully. I don't hide that the emotions I experienced were harder than I imagined. But it's up to you how much you want to commit to finding a solution. If you care, you can find it. And I had the support of the staff in Italy especially Silvia, she was phenomenal. She didn't make me feel alone, but supported. In the end I found the light at the end of the tunnel and soon I will leave for my new adventure in the direction of the new host family! Good luck to all of you!

Yes
You have been and will always on the side of the host familys
So please stop with your fake bull5h1t program

The program not only helped me to improve my English, but also made me grow as a person. One of the best experiences of my life. I was able to travel and meet incredible places and people.

The best experience ever, the agency was amazing and helped thought the hole process and was always making sure we were okay.
Being and Aupair is challenging but worth it, I have grown from the experience and returnig to my home coutry opened a lot of job opportunities.

This company opened the doors for me to be able to have an enriching abroad experience in all possible ways while getting wonderful memories with wonderful children, parents, church, universities! I am deeply grateful! Thank you Au Pair in America.
