all agencies follow the same fed guidelines, but they vary a bit on where they recruit from, their service here stateside, etc. I use Au Pair in America, SIL uses Au Pair Care, and there are others. [ Reply | More ]

It depends on who you get. Some girls are fantastic, some are not. if you are there you can at least monitor everything and keep an eye on things. [ Reply | More ]

It really is unpredictable. Our first au pair was amazing and we are still in touch with her to this day. Our second was horrible. She drank and drove our car drunk with the other au pairs. We ended the contract early. I think the difference is we had moved to Manhattan and the au pairs that are interested in coming to NYC are interested in partying in NYC rather than caring for kids.
