They don’t give you support enough.

"What is making the experience great is…"

What is making the experience great is that the LCC is always available when in need for help

"The program? It depends who you ask"

I think the program can be very good, but also very bad. I would say it largely depends on the luck of finding a good host family and a good LCC. In my case, I have honestly had a good experience with my host family, but unfortunately, I’ve met girls who have had and are still having very negative experiences, with little to no help from their LCCs. On the contrary, many feel more pressured because the LCC seems to side more with the host families than with the Au Pairs. However, I’ve also met girls who were lucky enough to have LCCs that truly support both the families and the Au Pairs. With all this in mind, I would rate the program a 3. My experience has been good because I haven’t had any issues with my host family, so I haven’t needed the LCC to intervene in anything.
So I think that the agency should be a little more careful with the LCc it hires, that they are not friends of the host families, because what I have seen is zero help in these types of cases. because families need help and so do au pairs, so whoever is the mediator of all that must be someone neutral.

"Pros and cons"

My experience w my HF was the best I wouldn’t change a thing, on the other side the part I didn’t like wasn’t that on my 2 years of being an au pair I only had like 3-4 au pair meetings, it’s so hard to make friends in a new place so it’s sad that in that way the LCC didn’t help

"Nice experience"

In Mexico office, from the start the people were so nice solving all of my doubts and keeping on track with all the process. Coming to the U.S. I found that many of the recommended institutes or courses charge extra and would have liked to find more accesible options. The program is good and the lcc’s are attentive. What I found inconvenient is that some families see us more as a employee and don’t take in account that we really want the experience of being part of some activities with the kids and family as ours is far and taking a flight to see them is very expensive. Most of us really love taking care of kids so doing it while knowing other culture and people is amazing!
I'm not saying my experience with my host family was negative, they've been supportive in many aspects but I see what I mentioned with most of au pairs as well

"My years as an au pair were the best…"

My years as an au pair were the best years of my life, yes it was hard, you work a lot and it's mentally tiring taking care of kids but the love you experience it's so pure.
I had so much luck with my host family, they're my family now and forever.
Exploring the USA has been nothing but a dream come true, this program was made for me.

"Best experience ever, best team ever: Cultural Care!"

Being an Au Pair with Cultural Care is the best decision I ever took. Everybody was so supportive from the beginning and through the whole journey. I had the most amazing experience as Au Pair and I honestly believe it wouldn’t have been the same without the Cultural Care team!! I would recommend not only the Au Pair experience but Cultural Care all the way!! Thank you guys for everything.

"The Lcc don’t care"

The Lcc are not interested in the wellbeing of the au pair when a problem happen, when you really need their help the lcc only makes excuses and let you alone by yourself

"I love this experience"

I love this experience, is amaizing how life can change when your perspective change, I make a lot of new friends, I improve my English a lot, and my perspective of life also expand.

"I managed to find a really good family…"

I managed to find a really good family and my LCC has been very supportive.
