The agency answered all my questions, helped me to find a nice family and was instantly there for me when I needed help because I had to change the family. So go for Planet Au Pair! |

| Comments: | Hello,
I've been in Spain since July 15th and I love it! Planet Au Pair found a really great family for me to live with for the following year. I love to travel and always wanted to go to Spain, but didn't know how to do it. The family I'm living with also loves travelling and seeing new sights, and the parents are always telling me about the culture and help me have the best experience. If you are considering being an Au Pair, I really encourage you to do the 1 yr program. There is so much to take in, it would be impossible to be immerged in the culture if you only stay for a few months. Many thanks to Planet Au Pair for helping me have this amazing experience!!

| Comments: | I highly recommend going through this agency! I have been with my family near Valencia for one week now and everything is going swimmingly. The family was accurately described during the placement process, the transition for me as an au pair went smoothly, and communication with the agency was quick and helpful. Spain is a beautiful country so come come come! Feel free to email me with any questions. Remove "invalid" from my email address. |

| Comments: | I am very pleased with the service provided by Planet Au Pair. They won my business by being so prompt in their responses. I´m still convinced we were instant messaging instead of e-mailing. Michael even took the time to call me from abroad, and after he alleviated some of my concerns, I knew I was on my way to Spain!!
I am beyond happy with my family. The expectations are clear and they are very warm. The parents go out of their way to help when they can, and the children are great. I have to be honest, I did consider going through one of the online services, but I don´t think that I could have made a better decision. Moving abroad can be a daunting thought, but the rewards surpass those feelings by a thousand. Planet Aupair makes sure that it is an easy transition. Good luck! Buena Suerte!

| Comments: | As corny and redundant as this sounds, words cannot describe how wonderful my time in Spain and with Planet Au Pair has been. I have been here two weeks so far and have enjoyed every moment of it. The family has been nothing but warm and inviting. I have always wanted to live in another country other than my own and doing so as an Au Pair is amazing. Thank you so much Planet Au Pair for all your help and support in getting me here.

| Comments: | I recently returned from a summer in Spain, near Valencia, as an au pair with Planet Au Pair. It was the best thing I have ever done! The family was very nice, the children made it very interesting and I made lots of friends. If you are considering applying but are not sure, I recommend you do. It can be a bit lonely at times, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The agency set me up with a fantastic family, it was definetly the best summer of my life! Please contact me via my email if you want to ask questions. To email me, remove "invalid" from my email address. |

| Comments: | Must have contacted 20 Au Pair agencies in France and Spain to find a French Au Pair that would be willing to speak French to my children. They all said forget it, if the Au Pair is in Spain; she’s there to speak Spanish. Well, Planet Au Pair was the only agency to even consider a search for one that could accommodate us. Within 2 weeks they phoned us saying that they had an Au Pair who was willing to go with that, but of course; wanted to be in Spanish classes as well during the days. Everything worked out perfectly, she has her classes’ everyday and has made amazing progress, my kids (who could understand everything in French before but had difficulty expressing themselves) are now virtually fluent in the language after only a few months. Thanks again for having the patience to understand that some families as well as Au Pairs have specific needs and with a little perseverance anything can be achieved. Yours sincerely and very gratefully David Kelly

| Comments: | Hi!
I have been living in Madrid as an au pair with planet au pair since the first of September. I am very happy here and having a great time. Coming here was a great decision and I would advise anybody that is thinking of doing it to stop thinking and get on with it!! I arrived here spekaing no Spanish at all and without enough money to take classes when I got out here. But it has been fine and I have learnt more quickly than I would have imagfined possible!!! My family are lovely and treat me as though I am one of them. if you are thinking of going for it and have any questions then feel free to e mail me, Nicki xxxx To email me, remove "invalid" from my email address. |

| Comments: | I have been living in Seville, Spain for 3 months now and was placed through Planet Au Pair. My family is great and treats me as one of their own. Planet Au Pair not only found me a family quickly, but they matched me up with a family that is very suitable for me. They also followed up on everything, and checked on me after I had settled in my new home. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone. |

| Comments: | My name is Natasha Neclerio and I am 23 years old. I am from Kentucky, USA. After finishing college, I was unsure of where I wanted to go. Coming to Spain was one of the best decisions I have made! I am currently in Majadahonda, 20 minutes outside of Madrid. I have been here for two weeks now and I can honestly say that I have never met a nicer family. They have embraced me as part of their own family and continue to make sure that I feel at home. My language skills are improving daily and I have several trips planned throughout Spain with friends I have met through Planet Au Pair and my classes here. I would recommend being an Au Pair to anyone who is adventurous and loves kids. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by e-mail.

| Comments: | This comment may be useful to both au-pairs and their parents. There are no guarantees in this process, and in our situation, I was grateful for the way Planet Au Pair stayed involved with the placement and solved the problem that arose.
My daughter (age 18) was aupaired with a family located in a beautiful town near the southern coast. The checking-out process (managed by Planet Au Pair) went fine, and my wife even decided to make the trip over to meet the family. We felt that we'd been thorough. Sadly, there were problems almost immediately --- my daughter was, without warning, left alone for week, while the family went visiting other family members. They simply didn't think of mentioning their plan. Then, it became clear that there were uncomfortable differences between my daughter and the parents about managing their 3-year-old. After just three weeks , there was mutual agreement that the match wasn't working. Planet Au Pair swung into action. Within 48 hours, they had selected another family, and started the get-acquainted process. Since our daughter now knew her own reactions and needs as a "foreigner" in Spain, she knew what questions to ask and what to look for in the family and the location, so it was a quick, smooth process. A week later, she moved to the new family, and this match has been very good for both sides. Planet Au Pair had certainly done appropriate initial screening, and we had even gone farther as parents of a daughter who had not yet been seasoned by any experience at a college. Still, this breakdown and upheaval occurred. Planet Au Pair's responsiveness and experience got us through it with minimum distress. To email me, remove "invalid" from my email address. |

| Comments: | I am presently an Au Pair for a family in Madrid, Spain. I am so happy with everything that Planet Au Pair has done for me. The director of Planet Au Pair, was so helpful throughout the entire process of becoming an Au Pair. They responded to every email so promptly and always answered all of my questions. As for the family, I cannot write enough about them. I honestly feel as if I am their daughter. They do absolutely everything to make me feel comfortable in their home. The kids are great too. They love to speak and to practice their English along with helping me with my Spanish. I am so happy to have the opportunity to be an Au Pair. It is a wonderful experience that everyone should try!!

I'm also watching my French improve every day,it's so much easier when it's all around you. I found this web site really helpful and all of my e-mails have been responded to within 24 hours all questions answered. I've talked to other girls who came through different agencies and have had real problems. Planet Au Pair has been great. |

| Comments: | According to me, this program offers an interesting opportunity to discover the cultural aspect of a country and to learn its language.I have been placed in a wondeful family where I have been teaching english to the 2 kids.The cultural shock has been pleasant and I had the opportunity to travel around during my 3 month contract. After living 2 months in Bilbao and 1 in Sonabia with the family, I am currently pursuing my studies in a an official language school in Valencia while living in residences. Incredible! Like someone has said before : JUST DO IT! |

| Comments: | Being in Spain this summer is my fourth time being here but my first time working as an aupair. The family that I am living with is really great in every way - allowing me plenty of free time and treating me as a member of the family. I really do feel like a big sister of the two girls that I care for. The best way to learn about a culture and master a language is full immersion - this is such a fabulous way to accomplish both and to form a relationship with a family. I encourage everyone to try it! |

| Comments: | I was an au pair in Playa de Canet (very near Valencia)
last summer and I had a wonderful experience. I had studied Spanish for 5 years but had never really spoken it and my family and living in Spain really helped me to improve my spanish. The family was extremely friendly and welcoming from the first moment that I arrived. I never felt as an employee. They were also flexible with my schedule. I would definetly recommend being an au pair as it is something that I will never forget. I had the opportunity to travel and experience a totally different culture. Planet Au Pair was also very helpful in that if there are any problems with your family they will help you work them out or move you if necessary. I hope to be an au pair again in Spain:)! |

| Comments: | I am currently an aupair in Spain. I have been here for 8
weeks now and it has been a great experience. I have really gotten a chance to improve my Spanish, both by taking classes and having a chance to practice on the streets and with the family. I have also gotten a chance to truly experience the culture and food by living with a family. I have certaintly eaten things that I would never eaten at home and experienced things such as bullfights, the night of the virgin, swimming in the sea, etc. that I would not be able to do anywhere else! |
