When a host family welcomes a new au pair into their home, they receive a Welcome Box from Cultural Care. Please note that families extending with their same au pair will not receive a Welcome Box or any additional mailed materials.
This box is filled with helpful information, activities, and resources that aim to help build a strong foundation for both the host family and the au pair as they start their journey together.
Welcome Boxes may arrive up to two weeks after the au pair arrives.
