On Sunday, April 10, Au Pair in America, the nation’s first and largest au pair provider, will host a Cultural Fair at the Chicago Wolves Hockey game in the North Lobby at Allstate Arena from 2pm to 5pm.

Organized by the community counselors from the greater Chicagoland 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 will be in attendance along with Au Pair in America staff to answer questions.

Tickets to the Chicago Wolves game are available at the box office, or for current host families with their community counselor. Current Au Pair in America host families and au pairs will be sitting in section 210, rows C through G if you would like to purchase tickets near this area.

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