Heidi Woehl, VP of AuPairCare, says “AuPairCare is present in many of same areas as Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and their mission of creating a place “where best friends are made” is very much in-line with the role an au pair can play in the life of a child and host family. We are very excited about this partnership and the opportunity for our au pairs who make a difference in the lives of the children they care for, to extend the spirit of international friendship through these bears to other children in their area.”
Albany area au pairs will hold their party on February 2nd at Crossgate Mall’s Build-A-Bear Workshop. Led by AuPairCare Area Director, Ellen Malinowskil, au pairs from several different countries will stuff and name teddy bears while also creating individual cards wishing the recipient of their bear good wishes in their own language. These special international bears will then be donated to the children of Ronald McDonald House in Albany N.Y.
