Hello,
I have already found a family in Spain and I am trying to get my visa off. The only thing stopping me is that I have to registered in a school for at least 4 months. Does anyone know of any cheap spanish schools in barcelona?
Thanks,
Julianne
I’ve been sifting through a million au pair agencies, but which one is considered ‘the best’? I want to make sure that I’m not going to just get thrown somewhere and not have any help.
I think those who are interested candidates for the job of Au Pair must search for the some good Au Pair agency in the area they want job….. I hope for the best and wish all of you a very best of luck. I also like to congratulate the site owner who are providing the assistance to the aspiring Au Pairs in having the perfect job………

Anyone au pairing in Vienna?
Hallo Sophie,
ich war auch als Aupair in England. Ich bin aber nicht über eine Agentur gegangen sonder über eine Internetplatform. Damit war ich sehr zufrieden ich kanns nur weiter empfehlen. Aber es kommt immer darauf an was dir Wichtig ist.
Ich hoffe ich konnte dir weiterhelfen
Hi Laura,
ich war auch damals nicht mit einer Agentur gegangen, und es ging eigentich. Aber trotzdem finde ich es sicherer mit eine Agentur eine Gastfamilie zu finden, denn man weiss nie was passieren kann.
Hi Noora and Shaye!
I am still in the process of getting a position through my agency, but I hope to be in the Netherlands by November. What cities are you two in? If you have any tips for when I am picking my host family and city or about living in the Netherlands I would love to hear them!
– Erin.
Hope to hear from you
Hi ERIN!
I’m staying in Sassenheim. Netherlands is such a small country so where ever you live here, everything is still pretty close. I found my family at Aupair-world.net
Where are you from?
Hope you will arrive here soon!
-Noora

My name is Anastassiya, i am au-pair from Middle Asia, i speak English, German. I was au-pair in the USA, Florida 1 year, and March 2011, i came back home to my home country.
I am 27yo now, but i would like to continue my au-pair experience. Now i am looking for a new host family for me especially in Scandinavian counties: Norway, Denmark, Finland. Dear girls does any body of you know some good sites or agency who really can help to find a host family for me in my 27 yo? Does anybody of you from these Scandinavian countries originally? or somebody who already worked there? What can you advise to me? I would be really happy to communicate with all of you if you wish. I know its hard to be au-pair from my own experience, i had 3 families in USA, 4, 2, 3 kids were in each family and i know its hard, but useful and interesting and cool.
Who knows the best Agency?
Who knows FREE best au-pair websites?
I worked with ExpertAu-pair Agency in USA, Florida – this is very, very, very bad agency which never help you at all, never call you, never help you to change a family!!!
If you can HELP me please do !!! I would really appreciate, thank you girls,
Yours Anastassiya
