Cultural Care Au Pair Australia

Silvery bay college in Albany, got half my credits in one weekend, with lots of choices for classes! was amazing fun, car pooled with some friends, hoping to do it again in september or october :D

I did the Au Pair classes at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hamptopn Virginia

If you're getting prematched then i don't think there's anything wrong with your application. Trust me, it's way better to wait for the right family than take the first one you talk to b/c they sound ok. If you're really worried then call the office and ask the girls if they think there's anything you should add to your application.

The raise is at the end of July

oh ok then thanks guys

thanks guys! i am hoping to leave as soon as possible, so i guess if the family contacts me its up to them?that how it works? :P

Hi everyone, I am leaving in Septmeber..:)..

i took two suitcases a backpack and a BIG purse. i had to pay for my 2nd bag on my domestic flight from NY to my host family but that can depend on the airline and on who serves you that day...but be prepared for up to $50 in luggage for your domestic flight to your host family.

I took the backpack on the plane and it was really full, I had pretty much what I ould need at the school in it, so almost a week of clothes

Make sure you keep your international flight itinerary and ticket stub on you when you catch your flight from NY because most domestic airlines won't make you pay if you have the thicket proving you've come from an international flight, even if it was nearly a week ago :)

kool thanx i cant wait :)

I did a history/art class and a weekend history class at university of richmond in va

Hey stacey, yeah i'm hoping to get over there around that time aswell :D Where are you hoping to be placed?

Hey Rebecca i am looking to be placed in New York what about you

Im hoping south carolina but we'll see

hey i`m Liz i am an au pair in St Louis mo, depands on when u want to leave if u want to leave within 12 week yeah you should like hear from them all the time realy getting things done, if its is like in 6 months time i am asuming you don`t have to do anything to soon the next step is to be matched up with a family, i recomend checking ur account all the time and any quenstions ring them.
hope i helped good luck :)

I'd call them on Monday. Have you checked your intranet? The women at the office are super helpful and can at least tell you what to expect when :)

My first time over i bought $750 and spent most of it on new clothes the first couple weeks i was there. This time i came over with $300 and a wardrobe ready for an american winter :) I'd say being at least a couple hundred but after that it's up to you. you'll want money for stuff in New York, then money for whatever you've forgotten to pack and to get you through the first week before you get your first pay.

so you guys reckon about 3grand would be enough??

hi annabel ive been given a tentative date of the 21st of september to leave from melbourne but if it changes il let you know :)

thanx soo much for the tips!

thanx :) howcum u were in the hospital for 3 days?

My second american host family was great

You're extending Alanna?

i just got the 13 month insurance ur still covered 4 everything

Everyone leaves on a basic insurance that covers you upto $50,000

The extended insurance has an unlimited cap - it really is that peace of mind and we highly recommend it

yes u should it entitles to to a student card which helps with loads of things u will get things heaps cheaper and also i got the one where u get three phone cards this one was $`125.00 but give culturalcare a call and they will explain in more detail

Au Pair Club 1 - is $65 (you get a discount card, much like a student card here in Australia, a pink CCAP bowling bag and a journal)

Au Pair Club 2 - is $125 (everything stated above plus 3 x phone cards valued at $25 each)

The Au Pair Club 1 & 2 are great value, Don't miss out!

Hi girls,
Aimee you are exactly right! 6, 9 or 12 months.
One thing to remember though is that you can only extend once on your visa (you cant extend for 6 months, then extend for the other 6)

Please let us know if you have any other questions with this

i leave on the 28th of june
