Cultural Care Au Pairs Learn Self Defense
No Comment |Posted by: crobinson on January 31, 2010
National statistics say that close to 1 in 4 people are violently attacked in the United States. On January 31st, over 30 Cultural Care Au Pairs teamed up with United Studios of Self Defense in Foster City to learn basics in self defense. These au pairs represented over 15 different countries and are currently caring for the children of host families from San Mateo County. The au pairs were taught by Chief Instructor, Regina Pinpin that safety and awareness is more than 75% of self defense. In the 2-hour workshop, the au pairs were taught and practiced a variety of solutions to escape an attack.
The training was a part of Cultural Care Au Pair’s commitment to on-going training with their Continuing Education Program (CEP). As a U.S, Department of State regulated program, Cultural Care au pair’s receive safety and childcare education throughout their year-long stay in the U.S. When the au pairs arrive in the U.S. they begin their training with a week of intensive courses at the Cultural Care Au Pair school in New York and quarterly, Local Childcare Coordinators provide complementary safety workshops.
Along with the great personal safety experience, the au pairs were provided with safety tips to teach the children they provide care for in our community.
Safety tips for children:
- I know my full name, address, including zip code, and phone number, including area code.
- I know how to use a pay phone
- If I get lost in a store, I will find someone who works in the store for help.
- If anyone bothers me while going to/from school, I get away from that person and tell a parent or teacher right away. A grown up should never ask a child fro help, they should ask another grown up.
- I never take shortcuts from school, I always follow the route that my parents know
- I never accept a ride from anyone, even someone I know – unless my parents have given me permission.
- If someone tries to take me somewhere, I get away quickly and yell – “This person is trying to take me away – or this is not my Mother/Father.”

Au Pairs Skate into Winter!
No Comment |Posted by: crobinson on December 23, 2009
In early December the Cultural Care Au Pairs in San Mateo, Foster City, and Belmont spent some time on the ice at Belmont Iceland. This was the first time ice skating for a few au pairs, like Angélica from Brazil and Idalidis from Panama. Others showed off their ice skating skills, Mely from Switzerland commented that “Back home my mom likes to go ice skating and we normally go skating every Sunday in the Winter.” With the San Francisco Bay Area’s mild winter weather, the chilly ice rink helped many au pairs feel like it was truly Winter.
