Take a Walk in the Park Day

Don’t miss out on ” Take a Walk in the Park Day”. It is an opportunity for exercise and relaxation. Are you stressed out? A walk in the park is just what the doctor ordered. Its calming and therapeutic. Taken after a busy work day, it helps clear your mind and re-energize you. Or, take the walk during lunch and you will find the afternoon of work goes by quicker and easier.

A walk in the park will likely be the most enjoyable part of your day. In addition to avoiding a fall, open eyes will allow you to take in the beauty of nature’s wonders: flowers, and trees, birds, and wildlife.

Take time to plan a Nature Scavenger Hunt for the kids.  It will be a great memory for them and will put a smile on your face.

It’s international Women’s Day

Article's hero media

March 8th is International Women’s Day which is celebrated in 176 countries and allows women worldwide to connect, celebrate and honor women past, present, and future.

Au Pair in America is an organization fully committed to enriching the lives and minds of young women and this day is highly regarded by us. Our program provides a platform to change the lives of those who participate. Fanny Carvajal-Delgado, one of our former au pairs from Costa Rica, has said “working as an au pair with Au Pair in America is a life changing experience. It has changed the way I value my family and friends, the way I see the world and the way I think about myself, in a positive way. I will never be the same person! When I finished the program I was more mature, independent and responsible.”

In recognition of International Women’s Day, below are some ways you can celebrate this day as well as National Women’s History month in your local community:

– Register to vote
