10/10 would recommend I came to the U.S. in the middle of the pandemic and Au Pair in America always helped me and supported me with all the documents I needed for my visa. When I came to the U.S., I was with three families in three different states, had one rematch, and always felt like APiA supported me and had my back. Especially my last counselor in Nashville, TN was so great! She was always there for us Au Pairs, planned all those great and fun meetings and always helped us. The communication between her, the AuPairs and the families was great and she put so much effort into her work! I am more than happy with Au Pair in America and would always chose them again! 10/10 would recommend!

Every experience abroad will become a… Every experience abroad will become a unique story to tell! You have to expect plenty of ups and downs, but I felt supported by APIA all throughout the programme. Part of this cultural exchange costs a lot of stepping-out-of-your-comfort-zone. Especially at a young age, this can be scary! Not just for me, but also for my parents. Getting introduced to this agency, through an event in my home country, not only made me feel confident with embarking into this adventure, but also gave my parents peace of mind. Their rich resources of professional knowledge and experience really helped me be prepared and enjoy my time to the fullest. I will cherish having had this opportunity forever!

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!

Great fit for US families and foreign people who love children Hi There, My name is Stepanka, a friendly/loving girl, who became an au-pair in America. Au-pair in America program is a great fit for both US families and foreign young people who love children and want to experience something unique out of their native country. As an au-pair I met a lot of nice people, I got to go to English school, and also I gained a lot of experience which I have decided to share with all of you and help out with things that every au-pair deal with after her/his arrival. I created a YouTube Channel called "A Pinch of Advice" where you can already find helpful videos and more are coming every month. I can't wait to see you there. Best wishes, Steph :)

Let your dreams be your wings This journey gave me so much that I can't still believe I am living my dream in the USA. I am sticking with this quote: I'd rather look back at my life and say "I can't believe I did that!" Instead of sayin, "I wish I did that..." This is amazing chance to see and explore America, get better in English, experience American culture, work with kids, found a second family/second home and make memorable moments in your life. I am grateful to be called an au pair. Only what I can say...Dreams can come true, you just not let the fear of unknown to consume you. Go For your dreams!
