The Au Pair in America online portal is very efficient, as well as the application and documentation process. What leaves a lot to be desired is the support for Au Pairs when we are with the family, no matter how good the family is, the service in general is very tiring and stressful, we work as much as anyone else 45 hours a week earning only 4 dollars per hour , this is a shame, the excuse for paying so little is that we are in the country to study and we live with the family, however the scholarship is only 500 dollars per year and the study hours are only 72 hours, the study is a lot weak, and can be completed in a short time, does not justify paying such a low salary. Being in another country, working a lot, earning so little and so many other problems make many Au Pairs psychologically ill and the agency does not provide support in this regard,
Thanks to Au Pair in America I had an experience that lasts forever. Whenever I needed help during the year there was someone to help. From the arrival to the end of the year in New Hampshire I had nothing to worry about my stay.

I had the absolute best time in the US with APIA. I started before COVID so I actually was able to start my year in NYC and I had a blast. After that I stayed with my Hostfamily for two years and I still visit them once a year. To be honest there were things where I think APIA could've done better. For example, I think my first counselor in DC was NOT helpful AT ALL. But I was able to work with my family together and we did great. It just made me sad for all the au pairs that would've needed her help. And I've seen Au Pairs leave just because she was not good at her job. But overall APIA was a good choice and I'll always be grateful, that I was able to get to know my family through them.So if you're thinking about working with children and having an amazing time do it and be an Au pair!!!!
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.
