In celebration of Exchange Day on August 2nd, we wanted to highlight some of our amazing au pairs throughout the years giving back to their community and showcasing the positive impact that exchange programs have on so many people!
This past spring, AuPairCare held a Global Cookbook virtual event where our au pairs, host families, and staff were asked to share a recipe of their choice from their home country. These recipes would then be turned into an AuPairCare Global Cookbook, showcasing delicious food and culture from all over the world!

Happy Pride! AuPairCare celebrates and supports the LGBTQ+ community, including our au pairs and host families, and to commemorate the end of Pride Month, we're sharing a few stories from the AuPairCare community sharing how they celebrated Pride Month.
Earlier this spring, au pairs and host families across the nation joined our virtual summit on sustainability in celebration of Earth Day. With cultural exchange and global understanding at the heart of the au pair program, it was fantastic to witness au pairs from Colombia to South Africa brainstorming ways to improve their local communities for themselves and the future.
While Brazilian au pair Victoria looked forward to celebrating her first holiday in the United States, her first Easter turned out to be even more special than she had ever imagined when she teamed up to work with an organization called Loaves and Fishes to provide food and clothing to the homeless community.
When Moeka arrived to the United States from Japan, she brought the gift of hope - to use her time in the U.S. to connect and make a difference in the lives of others, even during the pandemic. We are so proud of Moeka for conducting online ESL and multi-lingual classes for any au pairs interested in learning other languages or cultures!
We recently held a fun Zumba class for all au pairs and host families to enjoy! Not only is it a great exercise, but a fun way to tie in cultural exchange since Zumba incorporates Latin music and dances like salsa and merengue.
Earlier this month, a representative from Pace University led a national vision board making virtual event for AuPairCare au pairs, inspiring them to think big, dream big, believe big, and your results will be big!
Last month, au pairs and host families attended a virtual Holiday Cookie Decorating for the holiday season. The event, led by Sweet Samantha, a professional baker who has on popular American shows like Cake Wars and Sweet Genius, was a hit!
