[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I think so much of it depends more on the LCC than the agency.  We've done both Cultural Care and Au Pair in America.  Had a miserable experience with CC and a great experience with APIA - but mostly because of the difference in LCCs.  After four years of hosting, we had a surprise rematch (you'll never think it will happen to you until it does!).  Because of this, I would never ever go with a smaller agency.  When we rematched with APIA, they had at least a dozen au pairs in rematch that fit our needs, and they were incredibly helpful.  We'll never use another agency because of this experience.

All that said, I get the feeling that about 75% of the candidates on both sites really shouldn't be au pairs.  They have very limited experience, don't really know what they're signing up for, and seem to think it's going to be a year of fun with a family spending a year being cruise director for you oh and with a little babysitting.  No matter the agency - you have to interview like crazy.[/quote]
