Cultural Care Au Pair? Looking for recent experience?

Do people find themselves having experiences with the company?

No, I can’t serve it.

Or maybe agencies that also provide Au Pairs and are safe, reputable and affordable?

When it comes to the United States, however, I can assure you that the agencies must adhere strictly to the laws of Homeland Security, otherwise they lose the status as a sponsor.

Whoever occurs as an Au Pair agency is automatically registered as a sponsor for the required visa and therefore obliged to work according to these policies:

Sponsors are required to:

• Screen and select both host families and au pairs as program participants according to selection criteria stated in the regulations;
• Provide au pairs with training in child development and child safety prior to their placement with a host family; and
• Provide an orientation upon arrival in the United States that includes comprehensive information on life in the United States (see “more information” below)
• Be transparent about fees, housing, representations and disclosures and provide an itemized list of all fees to be paid and a description of other costs that an au pair will likely incur while in the United States
• Monitor au pair participation throughout the program, including the physical location, progress, and welfare of the au pair
• File a program-specific management review to the State Department, so that the Department can regularly review internal controls and program compliance

Sponsors must ensure the following:

Eligibility:Must be 18-to-26-years-old, proficient in spoken English and must complete at least six hours of academic credit or its equivalent at an accredited U.S. post-secondary educational institution.

Work hours:Childcare is limited to no more than 10 hours per day, and to a maximum of 45 hours per week.

Childcare Experience:Provide up to 10 hours a day/45 hours a week of childcare.

Financial Compensation:Au pairs are compensated for their work according to theFair Labor Standards Actas interpret and implemented byDepartment of Labor.

We are from Switzerland and my daughter will be 19, so I’m obviously a little nervous as a father when I think of a year in America.

Yes, but the agencies all work similar, they check whether young people qualify, search by Internet the families, bring au pair and host together (match!). If all this fits, the visa will be requested.
Financial, the fee should be more than covered by the merit as an au pair. The au pair should be able to make this year plus/minus zero, with a small final trip in the end

Therefore, security, seriousness, contact with the Au Pair agency, etc. is important to me.

These contacts are deposited on the website,

The State Department has activated a helpline to ensure the health and safety of its exchange participants, including au pairs. All participants have a right to be treated fairly and to report abuse without retaliation or threat of program cancellation. Among other prohibitions, no sponsor may threaten program termination, or otherwise retaliate against an au pair solely because he or she has instituted a complaint or taken action to gain assistance from an outside entity regarding a complaint. Au pairs can contact the State Department at any time via the hotline

Thank you

The agency has been renown and has long been listed as a sponsor. If she admits to the daughter, you can trust her. Reviews are always written only when it doesn’t work well or there are Benefits for positive reviews. (Also often Fake!)
