Driving in the United States<\/strong><\/p>\nA Driver Safety Course Custom Designed <\/strong><\/p>\nwith Au Pairs In Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\nNo matter how much driving experience your new au pair may have, she is now preparing to drive in a foreign country.\u00a0 If you have ever driven in a foreign country or even rented a car somewhere you have never driven before, it may help you to recall what that feels like. It can be a challenge for even the most experienced of drivers.<\/p>\n
This is why Au Pair in America has partnered with AAA, the nation\u2019s most trusted name in driver safety and instruction, to offer a custom course specifically designed for au pairs. This course differs from those offered in your community, in that AAA has taken the best of several of their courses, adapted them to be the most accessible to the au pair population, with special focus on driver and child passenger safety. <\/strong> Key components of the course include:<\/p>\n\u00d8\u00a0 Driver Safety<\/p>\n
\u00d8\u00a0 Child passenger safety (car seats, communication, expectations)<\/p>\n
\u00d8\u00a0 Communication and traffic devices<\/p>\n
\u00d8\u00a0 Vehicle Awareness (understanding what your vehicle is “telling you.”)<\/p>\n
\u00d8\u00a0 Reducing Risks while Driving (includes defensive driving techniques, phone\/texting issues, and drinking and driving awareness)<\/p>\n
The course includes:<\/p>\n
– AAA course designed exclusively for Au Pair In America.\u00a0 Course includes a combination of lecture, group exercises, video\/other media to ensure the maximum understanding to speakers of other languages or newly arrived to the US participants.<\/p>\n
– An extra night and meals at the Holiday Inn Select, Stamford CT.\u00a0\u00a0 Au Pairs will arrive at orientation a day early, and attend the AAA course before the main orientation sessions begin.\u00a0 Au pairs will depart from orientation on the regularly scheduled departure day to your home.<\/p>\n
– Certificate of completion from AAA* with supporting documents for au pair and host family resource throughout the year.<\/p>\n
