Watch this Creative Video Created by one of our Host families to find out why so many American Families Love Hosting a live in Au Pair for their Childcare needs:

Sunday July 11th, Annapolis Area Au Pairs enjoyed a 90 minute Cruise departing from Downtown City dock.

Cultural Care Au Pair is currently running a contest in which Host families create a video about how their AU Pair has made their life easier.  Details about the rules of the contest are located here along with entries from other Host Families and a Video from Cultural Care.

If you are interested in creating a video, and need some help, I’d be happy to assist!

Local Childcare Coordinators at the Children

Every year Cultural Care Au Pair invites qualified Local Childcare Coordinators to a National adventure in a different city each year.  This year we had the pleasure of celebrating in Disney World.  We stayed at the Contemporary Resort on Disney property.  The hotel was amazing with a Mickey Mouse shaped pool, huge water slide and kitty area.  It also has Cafe Mickey, which allowed guests to dine with Disney Characters.  We enjoyed Nightly Fireworks from our balconies and amazing meals one at the Floridian Hotel across the lake and the Second at Epcot’s Indian Jones show.  Over all it was an amazing trip.
