On Thursday, June 9, Au Pair in America celebrated 25 years of working closely with the United States Department of State to bring over 87,000 young women to work as au pairs in the United States. \u00a0Ann Stock, Assistant Secretary of State and Senator Christopher Dodd, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America, joined AIFS (the parent organization of Au Pair in America) President and CEO Bill Gertz and Ruth Ferry, Senior Vice President of Au Pair in America to welcome host families and au pairs to the Benjamin Franklin Room at the Department of State. \u00a0There, they spoke about the value of the au pair program for building cross cultural understanding and friendship.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Thank you to the host families and au pairs who were able to attend this inspiring event! \u00a0It was a busy workday and, indeed, the hottest day of the year so far! \u00a0At this time, I also want to express my appreciation to my cluster of host families and au pairs for choosing Au Pair in America. \u00a0It is always my pleasure to work with you!<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Au Pair in America was the first agency to bring au pairs to the United States and since 1986 has worked closely with the Department of State. \u00a0Twenty five years is a milestone and a chance to look back with appreciation for all that this program has achieved — and a chance to look forward to many more years of bringing the world together.<\/span><\/div>\n
