10 potential risks you face when not using a reputable au pair agency

2) absence of a written contract
3) little or no experience in the au pair industry
4) lack of professionalism or financial stability
5) non-existent standards or guidelines
6) insufficient references and/or medical certification
7) danger of document falsification
8) no re-match policy (secondary placement) if the initial placement is unsuccessful
9) no local support during the placement
10) limited understanding of national au pair regulations, which changed in 2008 with the implementation of the new Youth Mobility Scheme.
