I loved my experience as an au pair with APiA! They were always helpful and the entire process was so simple. I recommend APiA to everyone interested in being an au pair.

The program's rules are only for the family, this is not an exchange student this only work

We're sorry you feel this way about the program rules. The au pair program is regulated by the US Department of State which requires that host families pay a minimum weekly stipend and provide room and board. Host families and their au pairs can also agree to a higher weekly payment. And au pairs may not work more than 45 hours a week. The most important priority for us is the health, safety and well-being of our participants and our experienced team are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should our au pairs need additional support or resources at any time during their program.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We strive to make our program accessible and affordable to 18 to 26 year olds from all over the world. The au pair program is regulated by the US Department of State which requires that host families pay a minimum weekly stipend and provide room and board. Host families and their au pairs can also agree to a higher weekly payment. Plus any of our Extraordinaire au pairs arriving on the program from 01 September 2023 will now be paid an increased stipend of $300 per week. DOS regulations stipulate that an au pair may not work more than 45 hours a week and must have one day a week plus one weekend a month of free time. And host families and their au pairs can mutually agree to a shorter weekly schedule. We're happy that overall you had a good experience with us and appreciate you sharing this feedback.
