It was almost 3 years of an incredible… It was almost 3 years of an incredible experience, a wonderful family and all the I needed in this important decision that it was to choose a family to live in for so long. In terms of safety and support, APIA helped me a lot before, during and even after the program. I have to say that the partner agency, experimento, before I travel also have a good support but it could be better.

How being an Au Pair changed my life! I loved my Au Pair experience. Au Pair in America provides an opportunity to grow outside your comfort zone. The staff are helpful and encouraging. I will never forget my two years in the US because it taught me how to make new friends, how to challenge myself, and how to live life to the full!

I barely recieved any help if needed I barely recieved any help if needed. My first community counselor didn't really care about my issue with my host family and told me to solve it myself. When I flew to my 1st and 2nd host family I got a flight including a seat. On my way to my home country I suddenly got told they don't book seats for you. Some workers respond to emails late and rarely care about your issue. I had an issue with my flight back and recieved an email asking if I still need help when I was already back in my home country and solved it myself.

I just come back from my Aupair year… 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.

Never give up 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!
