Our au pair Stina is truly extraordinary – not because of her actions during turbulent or difficult times – but because of her actions each and every day. Our children have developed such a deep connection with her and won’t go to bed without a good night hug and “I love you”. She has shared her cultural traditions with us all, and she even made a presentation to my daughters’ 2nd grade class about her home country of Sweden. Her loving disposition, her sense of humor, her flexibility and her ability to see the best in every person and in every situation is remarkable and exceptional in anyone - let alone someone who is only 20 years old. We are just so thankful she found her way to us!
