Au Pair of the Year Award - 2009!

Posted by: ckossler on April 21, 2009

 For the second year in a row, the International Au Pair Association (IAPA) has chosen a Cultural Care au pair as their “Au Pair of the Year” award winner! This March, the 2008 Au Pair of the Year, Cultural Care au pair Linda Falter from Germany, handed over her title to Ricardo Silva de Araújo, a Cultural Care au pair from Brazil. Cultural Care is proud that out of over 50,000 au pairs nationwide, IAPA has chosen Ricardo as their winner for 2009. IAPA is the global trade association for qualified au pair agencies and companies, and, since 2004, their “Au Pair of the Year” award is one way this organization has been able to highlight the incredibly positive impact au pairs have on their host families.

See a special video honoring this wonderful au pair!
