Kim Trutane, Neighbor

Albany resident Kim Trutane was drawn into an exchange program career from her family's hosting experience: "We hosted an au pair, and I became fascinated with the specific reasons why each was willing to commit to a year-long nanny job in the U.S. The hosting families also fascinated me. Most families do not consider live-in childcare. But others view it as a chance to extend their family connections and give their children a multicultural upbringing."
