rematch with another agency during covid

[Anonymous]

hi there! Wondering if anyone has experience rematching into a new agency during COVID. We are getting some good responses to our FB posts for in-country APs but some are with other agencies. Does anyone know which agencies are allowing new/external families to match with their IC APs? Thanks!

You are aware that you’d be paying another set of agency fees, right?

Not APiA.

hi- yes we know about the fees, we would in turn get a credit with our current agency for a future placement. Our term was almost up so it isnt a huge amount of $ to take as a credit.

Thanks for the tip about APIA.

We host through APIA and I think that if you aren't a current family, you can't rematch. You may be able to shortly since the visas are opening back up again. Rematch, in general, is easier now than it was a few months ago. I see ads for aupairs looking for families instead of being overwhelmed with options like in the summer.

Great Aupair and Go Aupair were going to let us match over the summer when we weren't an existing customer. Worth a try.
