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.

Enquires Hy my name is shittu Khadijat Oluwaseyifunmi am from Nigeria I registered with Aupair in America recently and I have meet up with there requirements!! recently I was marched with a interviewer with the name "Keagan palm" Contact number is +27 76 184 8860 who sent me breakdown of the program and every other documents that has to be provided!! but I felt suspicious after the fee breakdown section are all to be in south African rands and not UNITED states' USD please how true is this interviewer or the person in particular

I barely recieved any help if needed I barely recieved any help if needed. My first community counselor didn't really care about my issue with my host family and told me to solve it myself. When I flew to my 1st and 2nd host family I got a flight including a seat. On my way to my home country I suddenly got told they don't book seats for you. Some workers respond to emails late and rarely care about your issue. I had an issue with my flight back and recieved an email asking if I still need help when I was already back in my home country and solved it myself.

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.

THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE I was an Au Pair in America for two years and I can tell that it was the best time of my life! The Au Pair In America program was the best experience that made me live a great time and realize my American dream. I met wonderful people, made friends from all over the world, lived in families that made me feel like at home. I learned a lot, I experienced a lot, I smiled a lot and I couldn't be more happy to do this big jump to a new life! I really recommend this experience if you want to change your life and live and incredible dream!
