The payment is extremely low if you… The payment is extremely low if you live in an expensive state. In the us if you don't have a car is impossible to move and there's no requirement for the family to give it to you. One weekend a month and one day a week is so little time to do things. It's a good experience but you depend so so much on the extras that a family can give you and it feels all the time that you have to be super thankful or you'll get worse treatment. So, to sum up, i think you should regulate the price and the schedule to make it fair for everyone.

How it was for me My experience with Au Pair in America was great. From start to beginning, they where really helpful and supportive with everything and always made sure to have someone listen to me. My counselor (and the one helping out while mine was on vacation) was amazing. So supportive and I could not have wished for a better one(s). Thank your for having such a great experience with you as a organization. They had an open ear for me when things weren't so great and I always knew I could reach out to them. Thank you!

Not as promised No enough support for the au pair, specially during the pandemic. The payment is not meeting the minimum per hour by state and some families excuse their wrong behavior behind "you are leaving in my house and I'm paying you". The whole program is promoted as the best exchange experience when lots of au pair are not even able to enjoy their free time because of very strict families that not respect boundaries or people. **I worked as an au pair in 2019-2021

APIA is the best agency! 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 during a rematch 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
