Deadlines and departures We have several departures per month throughout the year, for your convenience. We recommend that you apply at least two months before your departure date.
2009 - 2010 Departure Dates
Departure cities Free flights to the US leave from your country's major international gateway. For those who prefer, we occasionally offer optional departures from regional airports. Please contact us for more information. Visa and health certificate Cultural Care Au Pair is authorised by the US government to issue a J-1 exchange visitor visa valid for one year. There is also an opportunity for you to stay for a second year as an au pair once you have completed your first year successfully. We also require a Cultural Care Au Pair Health Certificate completed by your doctor, as well as a criminal background check. We provide all the necessary forms and will help you complete them. Any costs associated with this will be your responsibility. Educational component All au pairs and host families must abide by the education component mandated by the US State Department. As an au pair, you must earn at least six academic credits or its equivalent (72-90 hours) at an accredited post-secondary insitution. Your host family agrees to assist you in enrolling in and attending your classes, and they will pay up to $500 towards the cost of your classes.
Deposit and completion bonus When your placement is finalized, you pay a refundable deposit (might be between $0 - $500, contact us for more info) You'll receive your refund after you complete your 12 months as an au pair. If you return home early or fail to complete the education component, you will lose your deposit and be responsible for the cost of your flight home. Cancellation insurance Our cancellation insurance covers you if you are unable to become an au pair because you get sick or because you enroll in a course of study that lasts for one year or longer. With this insurance, any fees paid will be refunded to you. Basic calculations At COOLAGENT London we charge NO FEES for our services :-). You will only pay a refundable deposit ($0 - $500) - as mentioned above. The US Embassy in London charges 131 USD for visa application (subject to change) - that is also the only money you may loose if you do not obtain the visa. Everything else - flight to America, school in New York, airport pick up, basic insurance etc. is part of the program and the Au Pairs do not pay for it. Value of your year!
Your year abroad is a $17,000 VALUE
