Au Pair International Reviews

Horrible agency to work with
Wow, what a horrible agency to work with! First, out of the 20+ candidates they sent us for a rematch ( after our first aupair tuned out to be an alcoholic nightmare) only 1 or 2 had any real child care experience. Of the 3 or 4 we actually liked and decided to interview, they all backed out! One said our family would be too much work ( we have a 10 year old and 2 year old), one decided she no longer wanted to do the program, one didnt even get back to us...the list goes on. We asked for e refund after just one month with the agency ( we wanted to go back to our last agency, aupair care) and they were willing to give us back about 10% of our investment- after only one month!!! Not to mention no body helped us and our ' local coordinator'?? Never heard from her- she disappeared.. We eventually settled for an aupair that could at least speak English...she had never changed a diaper before! I guess you just assume when you read on their resume that they have worked with two year olds, they have changed a diaper!! Way To go aupair international in your screening process! She literally told us the first day she got here, she was here to get married and stay here. Of course we talked to her and wrote to her about twenty times before she came here, but she just wanted to get here so badly...everything on her resume was a lie! Once again, way to screen aupair international! Just can't wait until this year is done so we can go back to aupair care, where they actually have QUALITY applicants and quality coordinators! Highly recommend against this agency.

Failure to uphold contract
We found a local aupair on our own, then were required to join her agency in order to hire her. After having joined the agency, Au Pair International, our aupair announced 2 months into her contract that she was leaving the country to return home. The local au pair coordinator assured us that we would be able to obtain a replacement in time. However, after the agency was unable to provide any suitable candidates, we were forced to hire someone outside of the agency. We were told that if this situation arose we would receive a full pro-rated refund. Now, after 1 month of constantly pressuring Au Pair International to follow through with the refund, we received a very small fraction of the fee we paid. The agency has in effect taken the bulk of our money and refused to uphold its end of the contract. Keep in mind that since our au pair left the agency, the agency no longer has expenses related to this au pair (nor did it incur any originally since we found the au pair on our own), and our contract fee is presumably being used to subsidize some corporate employee's income or other expense completely unrelated to our minimal 2-month coverage. I would strongly discourage all potential families and au pairs from associating with this shady agency!
