October in Chicago is a beautiful time. Playoff baseball and the chill of fall are in the air, and Oktoberfest celebrations abound in the city. What’s a better way to celebrate the change of seasons, than with a marathon?
On October 9, 2022, 36 Cultural Care au pairs from all over the world came together in Grant Park to hand out water to the 40,000 participants of the 44th Bank of America Chicago Marathon. The au pairs were from Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Sweden. They cheered for runners in their native languages, celebrated with runners from their countries, and praised every person who crossed the finish line. It was a beautiful day to celebrate the accomplishments of so many incredible people.
