Moms and Dads — Only 3 days 1 day to go until the start of Au Pair Appreciation Week!
I’m really excited about it, except for one thing:
So far, I haven’t received *any* I have received ONLY 3 stories, sentences or photos to post during the week. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though I’ve had 9 great au pairs myself, I can’t fill the week with my appreciations alone, and besides, we really want to hear about what YOUR au pair has done that has meant a lot to YOU.
So, just as a reminder, here are the details:
1. Tell us a story about something that your au pair did for you, your kids, your family, or anyone else. Enjoy the opportunity to tell us as much as you want, however you want to, anywhere between 50 and 500 words. Depending on how many stories we receive, I’ll either set them up as one big post, or unfold a series of happy stories over the course of APAW.
2. Share just one characteristic, action or vignette, but this time in the short form. You can have more that the 140 characters of twitter, but you can make it as short as a paragraph sentence!!!
3. Send in a photo, with a brief caption.
All of the fine print about Au Pair Appreciation Week is here .
Don’t delay, send an appreciation right away!

Our AP is so great for so many reasons. I have to agree with the ladies above me that the cultural knowledge she’s sharing with my children is, I think, such a gift that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. She brought books and postcards to the kids from her home country, we framed the postcards and put them in each of the kids’ rooms alongside a picture with her.
We’ve let our kids paint the walls of their play room with each AP and it has been so much fun for everyone. Now whenever they play they’re surrounded by colorful memories they made with APs from around the world!
