Meet the Pink Team: Brittany from the Training School!


Pink is the colour for Cultural Care Au Pair and we all are happy to be part of this world-wide pink team! We thought it would be interesting for you to hear some stories from our Pink Team-members from all around the world - let's start this with Brittany!

Brittany is one of those from Cultural Care who all of our au pairs who travel to the USA will meet or have already met at our Training School. We asked some questions from her from her Brittany and how she ended up working at the Training School!

What is your pink story?After I completed university, I was finishing up an internship at Disneyland Resort in California in the Fall of 2011 when I came across a job opening at the Cultural Care Au Pair Training School. I saw this job as an opportunity to put both my customer service experience and experience traveling/living abroad to good use. I have now been here for almost two years, and each week continues to be as interesting as the last.

What is your current role?I am currently a School Operations Manager. I work to welcome the Au Pairs at the beginning of the week, serve as a resource for them throughout their time with us and help them arrive safely to their host families at the end of the week. I love working with the Training School team to ensure each Au Pair’s first week in the United States is as easy, fun, and exciting as possible.

What would your advice to the Au Pairs be?I encourage each Au Pair to use their week at the Training School to their advantage. The week is a perfect chance to get to know Au Pairs from all over the world (and hopefully make long-lasting friends), learn valuable information from your teachers, practice your English, and ask any questions you may have about your time here in the United States. Your time at the Training School is just the beginning of the amazing, exciting year to come!
