Au Pair In America

My experience with this agency was very disappointing. From the start, we realized how competitive…read morethe au pair process is--candidates often juggle multiple interviews (sometimes 8 or more), which makes matching difficult and time-consuming. As a mom, spending hours completing requirements, scheduling, and attending interviews (I did at least 8, lasting 30 minutes to 2 hours each) was incredibly taxing. We waited 2.5 months for our first au pair to arrive. Before coming, she asked us to pay $55 for her luggage from Connecticut to Florida. It wasn't about the money--it was the principle, especially after already paying significant agency fees. After arriving, she stayed in her room for 2.5 days despite our efforts to engage her. On the third day, she left to "explore" and instead flew back to Connecticut. She later texted that she was pregnant and had to leave, abandoning all her belongings. I made multiple attempts over three months to return her things, but she stopped responding, leaving me no choice but to donate them. We then entered rematch and found another au pair from Colombia. One thing I noticed is that rematch profiles rarely reflect any responsibility on the au pair's side--it's almost always framed as the family's fault. That became clearer with our second experience. She couldn't give a clear reason for her rematch, which should have been a red flag. During the 2.5 months she stayed with us, she frequently invited friends and her boyfriend to stay overnight, eat our food without permission, and treat our home like a vacation spot. She had little to no childcare experience and didn't even know how to hold a baby. I had to teach her everything, and she was often not receptive to feedback. She also had habits that became difficult to manage, like taking long mornings for herself and consuming excessive groceries and drinks. We went above and beyond--providing a car, teaching her to drive for two months, and taking her to the DMV multiple times. I even purchased a ticket for her to visit her family in Colombia over Christmas, with the agreement that she would reimburse me if she left early. Later, she requested time off during my busiest work period to go to Las Vegas. When I declined and explained that time off must be approved, she said she would take days off regardless. Shortly after, she falsely claimed that I had yelled at her and chose to leave. When I asked her to repay the flight as agreed, she became aggressive, used profane language, and even called the police claiming I was forcing her to pay for a "gift." After the counselor got involved, she ultimately repaid the ticket. The situation was extremely stressful and left me feeling unsafe in my own home. Our third match initially seemed promising, but after a month of communication and a signed agreement, she backed out, saying she no longer felt safe coming to the U.S. The message felt impersonal and dismissive given the time we had invested. Throughout all of this, the agency provided little to no support. After our first au pair left, we were simply placed back into the general pool with no additional help or priority, despite everything that had happened. In total, we lost nearly $2,000 in non-refundable fees and countless hours of time and energy. This experience was exhausting, stressful, and ultimately not worth it. I would not recommend this agency or the au pair program in general. In my opinion, alternatives like a live-out nanny or daycare are far more reliable and less disruptive.

If I could leave a one star I would. If you decide to move forward with this company even after…read morereading this -DO NOT PAY THE FULL BALANCE FOR THE COMPANY FEE. Even though it "saves" you money in the amount you pay. If there is an issue with your au pair and you end up terminating the relationship with Au pair in America early like we did- they will not give you a fair refund. They will calculate that you were in the program longer than you were to drop the amount due to refund. We had paid an additional extension fee of $1260.42 and they won't even acknowledge this amount or answer any questions about refunding that portion. It's approx $3000 that they are trying to withhold from us after we suffered a tumultuous and terrible experience with their au pairs. It's like salt on the wound. I will keep working to get the company to do the right thing but I also don't want any family to suffer a similar issue. Be very circumspect of their applicant pool. We used them years ago when our kids were much younger and it was a very different experience. So sad to see a company take a nose dive like this.

Our kids are excelling under Debbie's guidance, and I would highly recommend her! Her home is dedicated to the daycare, she has a separate infant and toddler room, plus a large playroom. Everything is organized and very clean. She provides meals, which are all organic, and if there are ever any food allergies or dietary restrictions she has no problem altering the menu to take these into account. My recently turned two year old knows her shapes, colors, alphabet, and alphabet sounds all thanks to Debbie! She is learning through play, and every week I am amazed at something new she learned.(My husband and I will look at each other and then hold our heads down in shame as we both realize that it was not us, but Debbie, who taught her the latest shape/letter/animal noise) When my infant son started there he was very reluctant to take a bottle (and by very reluctant I mean absolutely refused!), she was more than willing to work with us to ensure he ate the appropriate amount during the day. I'm talking trying 4 different bottles, holding him in different positions, singing/rocking/swaying while feeding him! Eventually, he warmed up to the bottle. We knew he would, but I have to believe that Debbie made the transition easier for him. This is my first yelp review. I could not stand that a daycare that has had such a positive impact to our family (2 kids, going there for nearly 2 years) had such a terrible review. To the commentor that Debbie "cherry picks" the kids. I personally do not see an issue with this. If I were running a home daycare with a limited amount of space why would you not choose kids/families that agree with you and your principles. Debbie is strict with her contract, and she will absolutely threaten law suits when needed. I have found that quite a few parents do not think that a home daycare has the same rules as a institutional daycare. Kids need to be picked up on time, kids can not attend when they are sick, your child will not get 1 on 1 attention all day (its a daycare with multiple kids, if you want that then you need a nanny), no your child can not be held all day, etc. Hope this honest review helps!

I hired Junk Luggers to remove four pieces of furniture from a single room. They charged $265 for…read moretwo pieces -- roughly 10 minutes of work carrying items to the curb. The full job would have been $400 for about 15 minutes of labor. When I objected, the work was already partially done, which is exactly how this pricing model works: by the time you understand what you're being charged, items are already at the road and you're negotiating from a losing position. Here's what I want every potential customer to understand: their pricing is based on volume, not effort. A bulky item that could be dismantled into a small pile in five minutes gets billed as a full bulky item. Dismantling furniture is trivial for a company that does this all day -- but they will not volunteer to do it, because bulk is how they charge you more. Before you book them or anyone like them: Ask if any item can be dismantled -- then do it yourself first. A disassembled bed frame or desk costs a fraction of an intact one. Get the total price in writing before a single item is touched. Do not let work begin on a verbal ballpark. Get quotes from 1-800-GOT-JUNK, local independent haulers, or your town's bulk pickup -- many municipalities take furniture at the curb for free or a small fee. I later called to discuss the charge and never received a call back, which tells you how much they value customers after the credit card clears. $265 for 10 minutes. Do the math on that hourly rate and decide for yourself.

Alex is also very caring and helpful during all hours and days of the week. They have also supported us during stressful times, especially COVID. They stayed operational while other daycares closed for months. This was greatly needed, as we are full-time working parents and Alex and Mikey made us feel safe with leaving our child.

Also, they are less picky here than they are home. They learn letters, numbers and sciences during morning. After lunch, they take a nap. Usually their teachers spend a lot time and energy to sooth them so they can fall asleep (if you ever try to put a young child to sleep, you know what effort that takes). I really appreciate the teachers' patience. Generally speaking, I'm very happy with the daycare and highly recommend it to all my friends.

We moved to the area when our son was 20 months old, and the first thing I noticed he was not getting sick as often at his previous daycare.

There was no bitting, screaming and tantrum period was short and relatively easy. They are a family oriented and adjust to your personal needs. When our second son was born, Gigi taught boys what it means to be a family, and created a strong bond between them. Since this is a mixed age group, younger kids naturally develop skills faster interacting with older peers, while older kids learning to be gentle with babies. As far as academics, they follow preschool programs and teach ABCs, numbers, shapes, working on scissors and glue...you name it. We don't speak English at home, so I can definitely tell boys developed their communication skills and academics at Gigi. In addition they teach Spanish too.
