Imported Block 1 - Sep 25, 2020
The U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) would like to ask you a
few questions about your experiences in the Au Pair program. The goal is to better understand both
successes and challenges of this program.
Please complete this survey by November 30. The survey has 20-25 questions and should take less
than 30 minutes to complete.
Your responses will be anonymous and aggregated with other responses for the reporting purposes.
The results of this survey are for internal ECA use only, and will not be shared publicly.
The only instances when your name may be used are for the purpose of follow-up on specific problems
identified in this survey. The Department of State works with Au Pair exchange visitors when they have
serious concerns about their placement and their sponsor is unwilling or unable to assist them. In these
cases, a member of our team may contact you for additional details and possible follow-up.
Your participation in this survey is voluntary, and you are free to choose not to answer any question. Your
completion of the survey will not affect your eligibility for future Au Pair or other ECA programs.
Contact the ECA Evaluation team (ecaevaluation@state.gov) for technical support with the survey
system or inquiries about specific questions.
By clicking “Yes” you confirm that you have read the above consent information and agree to voluntarily
participate in this survey.
Yes - take me to the survey
No - exit the survey
