If you want to see and copy any of the actual photos, they are available in our Cluster Photobucket Album.

Au Pair in America will pay for the cost of a Red Cross CPR/First Aid Class, providing you have at least three months left on your visa or extension.  You must take one of several approved child care/child safety related classes, such as Infant/Child CPR & First Aid or Community CPR & First Aid.

Why not take advantage of this great benefit?  Information is available here on the APIA website.

I believe Au Pair in America is the only au pair agency who offers this benefit.
