Want to lose thousands of dollars, have no backup ...
Want to lose thousands of dollars, have no backup childcare and get verbally abused by a corporation intent on keeping your money? Do not use this agency. If you don't believe all of the reviews (check any review site and/or the BBB entry for them), make sure you pay them with a credit card with a strong consumer dispute record.
We have worked with several au pair agencies over 7 years and many wonderful experiences. We know how to interview and host au pairs. AuPairCare was the worst experience by a wide margin and they kept $3,000+ of our "credit", canceled our account and kept all of our money. Once you are scammed, be sure to file with the BBB, your state attorney general and local NBC/CBS/ABC affiliate's investigative journalists.
Can't say you were not warned.
