Petitioner described the APIA program as a "cultural,
educational, exchange program". APIA hired individuals such as
petitioner to recruit families for the program. APIA assigned
each community counselor a geographic area for recruitment of
families and performance of their responsibilities. Petitioner
was assigned the south bay area of San Francisco.
Petitioner recruited families for APIA through marketing the
program at job fairs, well baby classes, art festivals, and
advertising materials that she created. Petitioner provided
applications to the APIA program, counseled families on the
interview process, interviewed families that applied, and
communicated with the "headquarters" of APIA regarding the
"matching" of au pairs with families. Petitioner arranged the
travel plans for au pairs to meet families and provided an
orientation in a family's home before an au pair's arrival.
Petitioner met an au pair within 48 hours of arrival at a
family's home and maintained a close relationship with au pairs
that were matched with families she recruited.
During 1994, petitioner continued her activity with APIA
and also worked full time as a kindergarten teacher for
Ravenswood City School District. She taught at a school located
in Menlo Park, which was less than half a mile from her home.
Petitioner devoted 15 to 40 hours per week to her activity with
