Thanks for your reply and help! Here is their e-mail [email protected]. By the way I've been getting enough emails lately and I guess they are scams. I wonder how can I find a real family? Because I need one

Is it possible for you to have a friend their to find you a family? a church maybe? I don't know but someone you trust to help you or connect you to people that can be trusted, maybe there are better sites at doing this? I guess using free sites will always attract scammers.

While it is possible to find an au pair position independently, your chances of finding a position would improve significantly if you went through a legitimate au pair agency. Many families will only hire au pairs through an agency.

I've went through a lot of sites and agency sites there is still nothing but when I go to real agencies they all say that they cant find a family when everything now is done through internet. So its really hard to trust people and find someone real. By the way thanks for your great help
