The areas I serve in Colorado
I currently cover the Roaring Fork Valley, from Aspen to Glenwood Springs, and all towns in between. I am hoping to grow our footprint to all communities.
I was a previous high school English and Public Speaking teacher, in Maryland, with many years of experience traveling to Europe with my students. After vacationing in this area for almost 20 years, I moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2018. I love this magical area of the United States and all that it has to offer. Go Au Pair offers me the perfect opportunity to continue to work with families and young adults from many cultures.
This territory is growing and currently has Au Pairs from South Africa and Argentina. The Roaring Fork Valley offers many cultural experiences in Music and the Arts, as well as an endless list of outdoor activities all year.
