Becoming an au pair has been probably the best decision of my life so far. I’ve been in the States for over a year and a half now and I’ve loved every second of it. I found new home, family and friends, and have learned so much more than just English.
I don’t have experience with any other agencies besides CC so I can’t really compare, but as far as CC itself goes, I’m really happy. They’ve done all they could to make sure my au pair years go smoothly, I have an amazing LCC who supports me and helps with any questions/issues that may come up.
If you have a desire to become an au pair but are still hesitating, don’t. Just go for it! It will be worth it and you won’t regret!
I would recommend going to the states as an au pair with Cultural Care, I have had the experience of a lifetime and got to live the real American life.
I decided to do an Au Pair after graduation to improve my English. I thought it would be great to do it while doing something I love: working with kids.
It didn't take long to find an amazing family and Cultural Care was assisting me with any problem or question I had.
I spent an awesome year on the East Coast and met other Au Pairs I'm still (after 3 years) friends with.
I know I was lucky. I've heard stories from Au Pairs who didn't have that much luck with their family. Au Pairs who would not recommend this experience.
But you should know that you can switch families if you're unhappy.
You don't have to think "just a few more months".
Cultural Care will help you and place you with a new family until it fits.
It is really important to find the right family.
Don't be afraid to say No until it fits.
With the right family it is an awesome experience.
Hey I’m Vanessa, 19 years old, from Germany. Becoming an au pair was the best decision I’ve ever made. I learnt so much about myself and my English is getting better and better. I’m here with Cultural Care and can really recommend them. They are caring so much about me and I feel like I could contact them everytime if there is a problem. I had to do some online courses about babysitting, the US and the language and it really helped me. In the trainingsschool we did most of the stuff again, but it was still fun to meet so many new people and start the year abroad with them. They planned activities for every evening and the food was great. I talked to au pairs from other agencies and they didn’t go to a trainingschool or they didn’t do activities.
And while I’m in my hostfamily, I got a lot of support too. I had some struggles with my LCC, but the office from Germany and Boston cared about me so much that this was not a big deal.
