Each year, the <a href="https://www.iapa.org/">International Au Pair Association (IAPA)</a> chooses one “Au Pair of the Year” to represent their incredible community of young people. We are thrilled to announce that <a href="https://blog.culturalcare.com/stories/introducing-our-2023-au-pair-of-the-year">Cultural Care au pair Antonella Arnau from Argentina</a> is their 2023 winner! 
&nbsp;
IAPA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support au pair opportunities for young people and protect the rights of program participants. They have over 170 members in 45 countries worldwide, including Cultural Care Au Pair. Hundreds of au pairs were nominated for this honor, but Anto stood out.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}">

Ever since she joined the Serfaty family of Indiana in March of 2021, Anto has made an incredible impact on everyone she’s met. In their “Au Pair of the Year” nomination essay, the Serfaty family described the incredible relationship they have built with Anto, including how she supported the family through host mom Jessica’s 3-month premature birth of their baby boy, Asher. During Jessica and Asher’s 103 days in the hospital, Anto took the time to learn how to take care of Asher and bonded with their 3-year-old son through an incredibly challenging time for the family.
