Simple process The process is fairly seamless and the network of Au Pairs is extensive. Finding Au Pairs to connect with on the website was a breeze. The profile was pretty easy to fill in. The au pair profiles and videos are generally thorough and relevant. The website provides good tips. We have a great local coordinator who was very helpful through the process. The search feature could be improved upon to filter on more characteristics relevant to a search (i.e. filtering out au pairs willing to watch fewer kids than will be needed for a given family)

The company is extremely supportive and… The company is extremely supportive and always there to help. The company is quick to respond and always has the best answers to our questions. I really enjoy working with this company.

Overall my experience was good Overall my experience was good, I got what I wanted from it . I would say the pay is something I and other au pairs have complained about. We work too hard for too little.

We did not personally know anyone that… We did not personally know anyone that had used an au pair, so we really went into this blind. Everyone in the agency has been so amazing and helpful. You are immediately connected with three different people in the agency, at least one of which lives in the area. They have been so quick to respond and help us whenever we needed it. We just matched with an au pair and cannot wait for her to join us in a few months.

Disadvantages of being au pair Is a good opportunity to meet new places and people and get a bit of different cultures. In the other hand this program has so many things to fix, starting from the health care insurance which is not good or affordable at all, LCCs that are not enough trained to help so many people, life in the US is extremely expensive for us and even more when we have to pay taxes that takes a 10% of that small we make. Families pay yearly thousands to the agencies, but it would be fair us receiving at least a good part from that to make it part of our salary, because at the end of the day we are WORKING 45 hours per week.
