[quote=Anonymous]ask your LCC for a candid opinion of your profile and your expectations. she may be able to give you advice on how to be a more desirable host family. for instance, are you expecting too many weekend hours? do you not give car use off hours? are you too far from a city? are you 3+ kids? etc. We had a terrible time finding an AP this time, because we have 4 kids, and most APs are looking for an easy gig- 1 or 2 kids. so, we upped the perks, like car usage off hours, gym membership, limited to no weekend hours, max of 40 hours per week vs. 45. (We also give a gift cards frequently as a thank you while they are here, plus a big Christmas bonus.) We still got 20 AP rejections until we found a great AP who comes from an even larger family than ours. Good luck.[/quote]
