hi everyone!
there is a host family from NYC who offered me an au pair job
this family told me to contact and email the Agency called aupairuniverse.com since the agency will be the one to procure my visa as well as expedite the process.
i just want to ask if this is legit?
thank you to those who will answer:)
AUPAIRUNIVERSEAGENCY.COM LEGIT?

Looking at aupairuniverse.com which is redirected/linked to aupairint.com, yes it seems ok.
The business is registered and accredited with the BBB, in Boulder, Colorado since 2011. You can read there were a few complaints made, but they seem to have been resolved satisfactorily. Also, looking up the domain (site) registration details, they have been online for 9-10 years, the owner is listed in Denver, Colorado....which is quite close to Boulder (I used to live in the Denver area). Scamadviser gives the site a 94% safety rating.
From this standpoint, they look fine, they have an established history, not like a scammer that just popped up overnight and will disappear tomorrow. Go ahead and contact them, but of course, use your own judgement and make sure any questions are answered. If anything doesn't sound right to you...you can always ask a second opinion again 
Good luck

I see you also have an offer in Spain You haven't focused your expat adventure just yet to one continent? Oh well, always good to have options
