Au Pair Café

Posted by kroemer on July 1st, 2008 in Detroit, Michigan

Summer is here!

Arrivals

We’re happy to welcome au pairs  Bianca from Germany in Brighton, MI,
Ariane from Brazil in West Bloomfield and Sandra from Colombia, also in Brighton. We hope your time here as au pairs in the USA is a wonderful adventure and learning experience. Look forward to meeting you!

Take Advantage!

Summer is great, because there are inexpensive options for enrichment everywhere. Here in Southeastern Michigan, au pairs can soak up local and US culture at one of our many fabulous museums. Local Libraries offer a discounted program, through October of this year, where you can visit at a very inexpensive rate, or even FREE to the best places in the area. For both children and au pairs alike, this very generous offer is sponsored by local businesses, and au pairs should take advantage!!! Plan now to grab your other au pair friends, or plan a trip with your host family and children to learn together at one of our finest museums!

Welcome Art that inspires and engages, hands-on science that excites and educates, history and culture that brings past and present Michigan to life – all of these and more are waiting for you at your local public library. Just use your library card to receive a Museum Adventure Pass, presented by Macy’s, and get free admission for two or four, depending on location, at one of these participating organizations.
