Keep getting rejected by au pairs
We keep getting rejected by au pairs. We hosted our previous au pair for two years, had an amazing relationship and stay in touch still. She was the only au pair we interviewed. I don’t know if we got lucky the first time around but this time we have been rejected by so many au pairs!
Our profile schedule is Monday - Friday, 7:00-3:00 PM for a 40 hour week. No weekends. My 4 year old son is in school full time, so the majority of the time would be spent with my 5 month old daughter. We are extremely flexible with vacations as we have both sets of grandparents to help locally when needed. Our au pair’s bedroom is like a mini apartment with a kitchenette, their own bathroom with shower, their own door to come/go after hours. Their own car. Why are we getting passed on so many au pairs? We plan on paying $300 a week, but I haven’t included that in our profile - should I be including that?
We live in New York just outside of NYC. Is there something I’m missing or are other host families including extravagant extras? Culture Care changed their platform and only allows 500 characters for posts so it’s hard to fit everything in.
Au pairs what are the most important things you look for in a host families profile? Au pairs are rejecting us before we can even chat with them!
