AU PAIR OF THE YEAR AWARD 2012
It Is That Time of Year Again!
Most American au pair agencies are members of the International Au Pair Association (IAPA) and are annually invited to participate in their search for the "Au Pair of the Year Award." This is a great opportunity to showcase the unique experiences of the au pair program!
How does it work? If your agency is an IAPA Member in good standing, they will receive permission to begin to send in candidates. Host families are encouraged to submit their au pairs and a letter outlining why they think their au pair should be nominated for Au Pair of the Year Award.
A selection panel will select one winning au pair that will be required to attend (all expenses paid) the award ceremony which will take place during the IAPA Annual Conference and Work Experience Travel Market in Budapest, Hungary, March 2012.
If you think you have a terrific au pair and would like to nominate her/him, please check to see if your agency is an IAPA member!
