Local Childcare Coordinators for Cultural Care Au Pair, Joe and Rhonda host an international Valentine’s Dinner for area au pairs.  Over 50 local au pairs enjoyed each other’s tasty foods from each other’s home countries all over the world.  Clayton Purvis of Sun Trek presented travel options for au pairs who want to see other parts of the United States.   A great time was had by all!!!

Local Childcare Coordinators, Rhonda Colley and Amber VanDeGenachte held their January 2010 au pair get together at the Sculpture Gardens out door ice skating rink. For some of the au pairs, ice skating was something they did growing up, but for others, it was a first time experience. Take a look at some fun photos of them.

A massive, 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti near the capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12th. The damage to buildings is extensive and the number of injured or dead is estimated to be in the hundreds, even thousands. World Vision is on the ground rushing emergency supplies to survivors of this catastrophe.

“We would be very concerned about a quake of this magnitude anywhere in the world, but it is especially devastating in Haiti, where people are acutely vulnerable because of poor infrastructure and extreme poverty,” said Edward Brown, World Vision’s relief director in the United States.

LCCs, Joe and Rhonda Colley shared an old American Tradition of Christmas Caroling in an Arlington, VA neighborhood on Friday night.  Au pairs rehearsed the Christmas songs at their November meeting and added  a few Christmas songs from their home countries to the repertoire.  Local families enjoyed finding out that the carol-ors were from all over the world.

Au Pairs enjoyed a Christmas party and gift exchange at their LCCs home after caroling.   Hot cider and a big pot of chilli along with cookies and appetizers that the au pairs brought made for a tasty and festive evening.
