Au Pair Cultural Fair at Glen Echo Park on April 9

Columbia, MD – March 1, 2011 - On Saturday, April 9, Au Pair in America, the nation’s first and largest au pair provider, will host a Cultural Fair at Glen Echo Park from 1pm to 3pm.

The Cultural Fair is being held in celebration of the 25^th anniversary of both Au Pair in America and the U.S. Department of State’s legal au pair program – both established in 1986.

Organized by local Au Pair in America counselors from the Baltimore, DC, Va. area, the fair provides a great opportunity for families who are looking for child care to learn more about the program. Au Pair in America host families and their au pairs (from more than 35 countries) will be in attendance along with Au Pair in America staff to answer questions. There will be activities and a parade on the promenade (costumes optional) for children in attendance.

Families interested in learning about the au pair program are welcome to attend the free event at Glen Echo Park on 7300 MacArthur Boulevard in Glen Echo, Maryland. Please RSVP to Au Pair in America community counselor Jan Peedin at 410-531-1163 or by email at momagent@aol.com

“The cultural fair is a great opportunity to get first-hand information about the many different countries where current au pairs originate from,” states Peedin, the local counselor for the program in Columbia. “And with both families and au pairs present, one can really get a true feel of the program from all perspectives.”
