HOST FAMILY DAY!!!!!
I am so excited about our Annual Host Family Day. As you all know, this year, AuPairCare has made this day even better by having all of the Host Family Day Celebrations on the same weekend in September. Our group will join up with 5 other Area Directors and their families, au pairs, and children. We will have food, entertainment, games, and more. Our big event will take place on Sunday September 26 from 3-6pm at Lake Fairfax. Please bring a dish to share and we will also be providing lots of yummy food as well! Please bring any friends/family who may be interested in hosting an au pair. What a great way for them to meet other au pairs, host families, and me!!! There is a Double Host Family Referral Bonus offer as well! Families who refer a friend during the months of September and October will earn a double referral bonus of $400 upon the referred family's au pair arrival!!!!! So bring your interested friends along!
I speak so fondly of you all and I am excited to have you all join me on the 26th!!! Remember to respond to the EVITE that I sent your way!
Welcome Veronica...better late than never!

Weekend Courses at Soujourner Douglas
Exciting News!!! The rule used to be that au pairs could only take courses that were within 1.5 hours from their homes. Now....you can take them ANYWHERE! It might be an exciting way to see the U.S. and use your vacation. Find a weekend course in California or Florida....somewhere warm and sunny!!! Make a vacation out of your credits! In the meantime, check out http://www.aupairweekend.org/ to find out about the upcoming weekend courses at Soujourner Douglas in Maryland. I recommend emailing the other au pairs in our cluster to see who is interested so you have friends to go with:) Make sure you let me know how your classes go ....I love to hear about which courses are interesting!!!
Share a Bear Event Feb 21st!!!
I am so excited about this NationWide event taking place for our cluster on February 21st at Build a Bear Workshop! We will each make a teddy bear along with a card and I will give them to the Fairfax Children's Hosptial to cheer up the sick children! What a neat way to give back to the community! Below is a press release that many newspapers have picked up about our event!!!
– THE LEADER IN LIVE-IN AU PAIR CHILDCARE, PARTNERS WITH BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP® TO HELP LOCAL CHARITIES
Local Children’s Hospital to receive over 30 teddy bears from AuPairCare’s Share-A-Bear party
Haymarket, VA – AuPairCare, a leading au pair placement agency located online at www.aupaircare.com, is teaming up with Build-A-Bear Workshop stores nationwide to hold their annual Share-A-Bear campaign which invites au pairs to give back to their local communities by making a bear and donating it to a local children’s charity.
This is the second year that AuPairCare and Build-A-Bear workshop have teamed up to hold Share-A-Bear. Last year, AuPairCare held over 100 events nationwide and au pairs donated 1800 furry friends to over 100 local charities. Heidi Woehl, VP of AuPairCare, says “AuPairCare is present in many of same areas as Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and their mission of creating a place “where best friends are made” is very much in-line with the role an au pair can play in the life of a child and host family. We are very excited about our continued partnership and the opportunity for our au pairs who make a difference in the lives of the children they care for, to extend the spirit of international friendship through these bears to other children in their area.”
Viginia area au pairs will hold their party on February 21, 2010 at the Fair Oaks Mall Build-A-Bear Workshop. Led by AuPairCare Area Director, Michelle Sims, over 30 au pairs from 13 different countries will stuff and name teddy bears while also creating individual cards wishing the recipient of their bear good wishes in their own language. These special international bears will then be donated to the Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children.
