"Dear Vicki, I wanted to thank you so much for all the help you gave me when I was completing my application - I can honestly say that I have the best family in the Au Pair History, I am so happy and do not have a single complaint after 8 months (they also shouted me a trip home in March for my sister's 21st!). " Selena G.
