Au Pair of the Year 2015 – Meet our three finalists!
After a thorough review period we have now selected our three finalists for the 11th edition of the IAPA Au Pair of the Year Award.
All 59 submissions were of great quality and we got to read a great diversity of host family essays, all describing fantastic experiences with their au pair.
From these essays we have now selected our three finalists and we are now in the process of obtaining their stories, to make our final decision.

Terri Abbott
“In addition to being an invaluable asset to our family, Terri is very outgoing. We are an active family. We enjoy everything that Colorado offers, skiing, camping, hiking and travel. Within one month of arriving, Terri was on a snowboard! Terri had never seen snow as she is from South Africa. She has vigor for life and adventure like no one I have ever met. This love for life and exploration has overflowed into my boys. They see her fearlessly taking on new experiences and can see her genuine enthusiasm as she does it. She has fun! She is an incredible role model and terrific big ‘sister’.“
