J1 to F1 Denied

Hello,
There goes my story, I changed my status from J1 to F1, I was under F1 but still being an au pair, that means I was taking care of the children and studying at the same time. When I went back to my home country. I apply for a F1 visa but I got denied bc the consul suposed that I was working for the family. It wasnt true bc it was not a work, I just help to take the boys to school. Any way, can someone tell me if I would be able to go back to USA with other type of visa? Thank you

You were caring for the kids out of the goodness of your heart, with no compensation?

They were giving me a house to live in and helping me to pay for school.

You were working illegally on an F1 visa. Students are required to have work authorization and have a limited number of options generally on campus. The International Student Office at your university should have advised you of the consequences of working illegally.
