Martha Parra, a Cultural Care au pair in New York City, sent us this photo of her host kids, Blaise and Zane (along with one of their friends). She says, “I’ve been with my host family for two weeks and it has been great! The experience is awesome, but I thought my hosts kids were watching too much TV. As I was wondering what other activity could replace it, they heard a song on the radio one day and started singing. So, we’ve replaced TV with music. How cool!” Au pairs: what do you do instead of watching TV with your host children? We want to know! Submit an answer now.
