It all depends of the family you choose… It all depends of the family you choose to go with. My LCC in California, Barbara didn’t help at all and she tried to screw me. I never knew why she had that hate towards most of the girls. But I’m very thankful that I could extend to another state and the people, my host family and LCC were incredible. At least they made me feel I can count on them no matter the comments with other intentions from CA.

Don't recommend APIA is a company that sells very well and seems to help host families a lot, but on the au pair side, they are negligent. How is it possible that you have a person *working* in your house, taking care of 3 and 4 children simultaneously for 4.35 dollars an hour? This is not a cultural exchange program, it is slavery. It is not worthy for a person to work so much for so little. They justify it by saying that we receive food and a place to live: APIA does not ensure that the conditions inside the host's homes are decent. Au Pairs ended up with physical and mental health issues. I do not recommend APIA or the au pair program in general.

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.

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 :)

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.
