Cultural Care Au Pair to Appear at 'Touch-a-Truck' Saturday

Karen Audouin, the local childcare coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair, will have a table at the upcoming “” event at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 11 at .

Responding to the increasing demand for affordable, flexible, quality, live-in childcare, Cultural Care Au Pair recently added Audouin to its field staff for Holliston. Audouin is part of a nationwide network of more than 500 Cultural Care Au Pair local childcare coordinators dedicated to promoting global understanding through intercultural exchange.

As a Cultural Care Au Pair local childcare coordinator (LCC), Audouin will provide service and support to host families and their au pairs throughout the program year. She will advise area au pairs and their host families on educational opportunities, in addition to organizing fun activities for the entire extended Cultural Care family to enjoy.

“Our hands-on local childcare coordinators are a key part of the success of Cultural Care Au Pair, and one of many reasons why families come back to us year after year for flexible and affordable live-in childcare,” said Sheila Bauer, director of program development for Cultural Care Au Pair. "Karen is a terrific and knowledgeable source for anyone in Holliston who is interested in getting more information on hosting an au pair.”

Audouin’s international background led her to join Cultural Care as an LCC. She studied French Literature in college, then she moved to Paris for three years, during which time she met her husband. When she returned to the United States, Audouin studied and practiced law. After taking time off to raise two children, Audouin taught English as a Second Language part-time at Framingham State University for several years. She enjoys volunteering at her children’s school, in the community and is a town meeting member.

Audouin is currently interviewing families who are interested in hosting an au pair. As a community resource on alternative childcare and intercultural exchange, she can be reached  at 508-612-9671 or  karen.audouin@lcc.culturalcare.com or through her website at http://kaudouin.aupairnews.com/.
