Applying to be an Au Pair in the USA has been an interesting experience. The American partner, InterExchange, has launched a new application system called 'Passport' and at first it seemed like it was just an inconvenience because I had already filled in the paper application but now I really like it for the following reasons.
1. You can update your application with new photos whenever you want to.
2. If your contact details change you can change them on 'Passport' instead of having to contact your International Co-operator (Au Pair Link) and have them then contact the American partner.
3. The more child care experience you get, you can add that to your application too.
and some other things too....
I have completed my application and my current status on 'Passport' is Under Review.
I can't wait to hear from Host Families in the next few weeks...
