This week, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) rated Cultural Care Au Pair Agency and gave them a B-.  Their results of ratings is based on 50 customer complaints they reviewed from the internet.  They identified the complaints by type (for example, refunds, service, staff performance, etc.) and how they were resolved by the agency. 

Very interesting report and I am sure our readers will find it interesting as well.  What we found most interesting was the BBB's results confirmed our lastest customer satisfaction survey we released last month. 

Hello readers,

One of the many questions we receive here at aupairclearinghouse is how much will an au pair cost?  How much is it for the year?  How much do I pay weekly, etc.? 
 

This month our Feature Country is France!  A simply beautiful country, France has the most romantic city in the world, Paris, and offers au pairs who are highly desirable among sophisticated host families.
