Sunday, May 6th was a Host Mother’s Tea for Host Moms with Cultural Care Au Pair that live in Oakwood, Centerville, Beavercreek, and Tipp City. The tea was hosted at Local Childcare Coordinator, Jane’s home.

Host Moms and au pairs enjoyed beverages, appetizers and desserts! This event created a wonderful opportunity for all Host Moms to connect with one another! Host Mom Rose, invited a friend from Oakwood so she could learn more about the au pair (live in nanny) program!

During the tea, Host Moms and au pairs, participated in a questionnaire that asked a total of 30 questions on how well they knew one another! Host Mom, Melissa and her au pair, Miriam (from Germany) won with 29 out of the 30 questions correct! Congratulations Melissa and Miriam!

Monica, an au pair (live in nanny) from Colombia spent 2 years with a wonderful family in Ohio. Her host family had a “Hawaiian” themed farewell party for her and all the friends she made over the past two years came to wish her farewell!

While being an au pair, Monica took up running. She started running 5Ks, 10Ks and marathons, with her host Mom! Running was Monica’s passion!

We will miss Monica very much and I know her host family will too!

Au pair of the year and her host family

On May 13th, as mothers everywhere are celebrated by their families on the one day of the year devoted just to them, some lucky local women will be getting a little extra attention. These women are not just mothers; they are cultural exchange host mothers.

I work as a local childcare coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair, and on May 6th, I will be hosting a Mother’s Day Tea for area moms who are currently hosting au pairs from other countries. It will be an opportunity for the au pairs and their host mothers to spend time together without the children; to learn more about one another on a more personal level.

If you have any interest in attending the tea, meeting some of our wonderful host families and au pairs, or learning more about this childcare alternative, please contact me at your convenience. I hope to hear from you soon.

Warm regards,

Jane Patterson

It was a beautiful day for Beli, au pair from Germany, to have a going away party hosted by her family in Oakwood. Au pairs from Oakwood, Centerville, Tipp City, Springfield with Cultural Care Au Pair attended her party to say farewell.

Beli completed one full year, with her host family, caring for two beautiful children under the age of 4 years old. She made many friends in the community. She attended the University of Dayton to fulfill her educational component as an au pair. Economics was her favorite class! We will all miss Beli; her smile, enthusiasm, and boundless energy! Her host family will miss her greatly too.

Good Luck Beli! We will all miss you!

My name is Alissara, but I go by “Bow”. I’m a Thai Au Pair (live in nanny), currently living in Thailand but hoping to be your next au pair.

Let me tell you alittle about myself:

I am a 23 years old. I have got a Bachelor degree of Education with second class honor. My major is Photography from king mongkut’s institute of technology ladkrabang, Bangkok. My favorite classes are acting class, printing class, photography class and computer class.

My childcare experience; I have trained at Denla Kindergarten in Bangkok. There are so many children in this class; the age between a 2 month to 3 years old. My responsibilities are changing diaper, playing with children, preparing food for children, teaching homework, taking children to sleep etc. I learned how to deal when children cry, how to help them sleep. Each child is behaving differently so we must be attentive and understand children’s emotion and behavior. I also babysit a 2 year old boy since December 2011 every day of the month for 7 hours a day. I feed and cook for him, give him a bath, prepare his mil, help him go to bed, play with him and care for him.
When I graduated from college, I joined “Work and Travel” program at Seattle, U.S.A. I worked at “Racha restaurant” for 2 months. I was an assistant cook.

At home, I am responsible for cleaning the house, doing dishes and clothes. We will clean the house on Saturday because we don’t work and go to school when I was young; my household duties are helping my mother do household. I learned how to washing by hand, cleaning my house, cooking, and take cares my brother when he was young. And I have grown-up, I do everything by myself. Start at cleaning my room, washing my clothing’s and cleaning dishes after dinner. This is my personal responsibility. At the weekend, mother and I, we will do household together. Such as washing our bedspread, cleaning the house.

It would be glad if I could be a part of your family. Please kindly consider me as an Au-pair (live in nanny) for your family. Thank you for reading my profile. I have Skype, so you can interview me that way. Please contact my representative, Jane at 937-344-6248. You can save $500 off the program fees! Cost to host an au pair averages $350 per week per family, not per child!!

Sincerely Yours,

Alissara

Welcome Judi, Au Pair from Mexico. Judi is 21 years old and will be living with a new host family in Tipp City! Judi loves to play soccer and played since she was 13 years old. She studied at the Universidad Panamericana and majored in International Business.

We are so excited to have Judi join our wonderful group of Au Pairs in the Dayton, Springfield, Springboro, Centerville, Oakwood, Beavercreek, Bellbrook, and Tipp City area!!

At the March meeting, au pairs from Oakwood, Centerville, Springfield, and Beavercreek learned how to properly complete their tax forms!! They were assisted by an experienced tax specialist, Tracey, who helped them understand proper completion of the 1040NR EZ form. The au pairs were so grateful for her help and assistance. They completed their tax forms in less than 30 minutes and are ready to mail them in!

Birthday photo for LCC Jane from au pairs; Kelly, Maria, Adriana, Monica, Jane, Anny, Miriam and Beli

Who would have thought warm February temperatures would change our au pair meeting from skiing in February to laser tag? How my warm weather au pairs (yes…Colombian and Venezuelan au pairs), are just loving this wonderful winter!!! Well, we had an exciting time playing laser tag at Laser Web! The funniest part of laser tag was learning that we were shooting our teammates instead of our opponents!! LOL!!! Its no wonder our green team lost!

I want to thank my beautiful au pairs for the delicious birthday cake and picture they gave me to celebrate my birthday! The cake, that Adriana baked, and the photo in frame they made for me, will be something to treasure forever!! The photo was taken at Christmas time and they included all the flags that represent their countries on the right, including the U.S. flag!

Au pairs..you truly are “Blue Hearts” Best of the Midwest!!! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness! Its no wonder your host families love you sooooo much!!

New families who register from January 19, 2012 through January 24, 2012, will receive a $75 application fee waiver and a $750 program fee discount when welcoming an au pair by July 31, 2012.
