German au pair, Benjamin Strauss, wins New York triathlon
Cultural Care au pair Benjamin Strauss, a 22-year-old from Berlin, recently became the Staten Island Triathlon’s first champion with a time of 1 hour, 5 minutes and 1.7 seconds. An article on Staten Island Live said of the event, “There were plenty of good vibrations to go around, starting with Ben Strauss.” “’I had really only been training for this the past two or three weeks,” said Strauss, a veteran of about six triathlons in his native Germany, who only recently learned about this race from the Midland Beach family he has been working for as an au pair.”
Benjamin has a passion for triathlons and, in addition to photos of the kids he has cared for, his au pair application is filled with pictures of him swimming, biking and riding. A great au pair and a great athlete — congratulations to Benjamin!
