The Host Family of the Year contest is a cherished tradition at Cultural Care, shining a spotlight on families who embody the spirit of our program. These families go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment for their au pairs, offering unwavering support throughout the year and fostering a meaningful cultural exchange experience.
This year, we received over 300 nominations from au pairs across more than 30 states. These submissions highlighted the unique ways host families have shared American traditions, supported their au pairs’ personal growth, shown curiosity about their customs and traditions, and more.
Selecting finalists from so many inspiring entries was no easy task, but we’re thrilled to introduce the following families who stood out for their exceptional contributions to the Cultural Care community.
