Jan 25,2025I like the way there are LCC’s everywhere and they help when there is a need. I dislike having to pay for activities with the LCC because the company gets paid a lot for my presence here. I like the way the business is set up and it makes it easier to get help 24 hours. I dislike the way the families make us work 45 hours for 4.4dollars per hour. It’s not fair, considering that the company is being paid for my presence. I wish the company would increase the amount to 6dollars an hour at least considering the cost of living in America. I love the idea of having a network and work experience in a different country. I wish it was more than 14 days of vacation and maybe paid 10 days sick leave would be helpful too.

Jan 25,2025I love it. My current host family and my furst hist family are/were so lovely! I went on many trips with them and I really feel like part of the family. I built such an amazing relationship to my host kids, I will miss them so much. Also with my old host family I'm still in contact, we are writing letter to each other and plann some meet up because they don't live that far away from my current host family. I also made some new friends some of them are also AuPair others are American. I traveled a lot since I'm in the USA. My highlight an Alaska Cruise. Furthermore my family and friends from Austria visited through the year abd we had an amazing time together, I'm even now planning a road trip with my parents in my travel month.

Jan 25,2025I’ve had an amazing experience with this au pair agency, and I’m so grateful for all their support! From the very beginning, they made everything clear and easy to understand, which took a lot of the stress out of the process. They really listened to what I was looking for and matched me with a wonderful host family that has made me feel so welcome. Both LLC’s Vibeke and Suzanna’s support has been fantastic. They are always there when I need help, whether it’s with settling in, advice on credits, or just checking in to see how I’m doing. It’s so comforting to know I have someone to turn to who genuinely cares about my experience and well-being when so far away from home. Overall, I feel really supported and well taken care of by the agency and my LCC. They’ve made my time as an au pair such a positive and fulfilling experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering this journey!

Jan 25,2025My stay in the United States has been very good, cultural care was present at the times I needed them, Cultural care was very attentive with my first rematch, they helped me find my ideal host family.

Jan 25,2025I spent my first family with an amazing family in Arizona and currently I am in New York City with other fantastic family. I’m a lucky au pair. But I think if we had free holidays (4th July, Martin Luther King…) the experience it would be 16814 times better. And the maximum of hours per week should be 40. 9/10 hours per day is crazy more if you take care of babies because that means there is not break. They don’t go to school.

Jan 25,2025My host family is amazing so that made being an au pair an incredible experience. The cultural exchange has been successful, we have been able to share our cultures and enjoy the food.

Jan 25,2025Es una explotación de programa, desde nuestros países de origen nos hacen ver como que trabajar 45 horas por 195 es lo más justo cuando la verdad es una estafa completa , ganar 4 dólares es nisiquiera lo que se considera legal en este país , además de que los taxes salen de nuestros bolsillos porque nisiquiera nos dan pay stubs, cuando legalmente cualquier persona que trabaje legal ( como supuestamente las au paiir lo hacemos ) su compañía debería ser la responsable de hacer el pago de los taxes

Jan 25,2025The only way to enjoy this program is to find a good family and friends, fortunately I found both, my family is great and allows me to live my experience as a cultural exchange, and the company of my friends drives me to stay motivated and to get to know the country in their company.

Jan 25,2025My experience was great and my host family is amazing, I’ve just had a couple of problems with the app and that had bothered me a lot.

Jan 25,2025During the first year, my first host family were the worst people I have ever met, they didnt respect me and obligated me to work 15 hours per day. When I try to do rematch and try to ask for help with cultural care, you pretend to make me work with that people when I didnt want. After crying and feeling so sick and bad Finally my LCC helped me allowing me to stay in her house. Didnt receive the help I expected from you

Jan 25,2025Being an Au Pair has helped me to grow a lot personally, learn new things about myself and experience different things. I discovered that the world is bigger than I ever imagined and there’s a lot of opportunities out there.

Jan 25,2025The company sell the program as cheap and flexible childcare for families and with that they don’t give a shit about us au pairs. After sales are the worst and I feel like no one from cultural care knows what they’re doing.
Rebecca
Jan 25,2025the experience so far is good, i wouldn't say great because i had to rematch almost a year ago and both the previous LCC and the current one didn't help as much as i actually needed

Jan 25,2025For my part I have always had a great support from Cultural Care, but I’m not giving a 5 stars because I have seen a lot of other Au pairs who didn’t have this chance. Overall, I feel very blessed for having a great experience all along my year and with my host family.
