AuPairCare – Partners with Build-A-Bear Workshop ®
To Help Local Charities

AuPairCare, a leading au pair placement agency, is teaming up with Build-A-Bear Workshop stores nationwide to hold their Share-A-Bear campaign which invites au pairs to give back to their local communities by making a bear and donating it to a local children’s charity.

 Au pairs from across metro-Atlanta built bears to donate to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding  at Build-A-Bear Workshop in North Point Mall.

AuPairCare’s monthly au pair activities have involved charitable giving in the past, however, this is the first time AuPairCare has launched a nationwide charitable campaign.  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.”

Atlanta area au pairs recently held a party at North Point Mall’s Build-A-Bear Workshop.  Led by AuPairCare Area Directors, Christy Corbin, Rebecca Ensley and Jennifer Lawrence, over 20 au pairs from more than 6 different countries stuffed and named teddy bears, and created individual cards wishing the recipient of their bear good wishes in their own language.   These special international bears were then donated to the children of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding.
