About Patty:
My name is Patricia (Patty) Thomas and for the next year I will be your Local Coordinator. I will be available to answer your questions, give you advice and help you to have a great experience in the United States. I will hold a meeting on the first Monday evening of every month, where you will be able to meet and get to know other au pairs in your area. I will also send a monthly newsletter to keep you updated on what is happening in our group and keep you informed about Au Pair USA policies. I look forward to meeting you and wish you a great year!
Let me tell you a little about myself. I grew up in Southern California and married in 1988. We have six children ranging in age from infant to college. I am active in school, church and community, serving in various capacities in the groups I am involved in. I will be able to draw from my experience with these organizations to plan fun and interesting cluster meetings and activities for us to do together. I love to travel and experience new people, places and cultures. Since I can’t travel as much as I’d like, I’m very excited to have some of the people and cultures of the world come to me!
During your time in the United States, I hope you make lifelong friends and that we all come away better people for having known each other.
Best wishes,
Patty
