au pair

For our final podcast of 2020, we thought it would be nice to speak with the most positive entrepreneur we know, Emshika Alberini. Driven by her sense of adventure and curiosity, Emshika left her family in Bangkok and struck out on her own in the U.S., journeying from au pair to celebrated restaurateur. She’s faced heartbreak and unspeakable loss, yet she has never lost her belief in the power of love and kindness. Today, Emshika is the owner of Chang Thai Cafe in Littleton, New Hampshire, and the creative force behind the By Emshika beverage line. She was named to the Cherry Bombe 100 in 2018, and has won numerous accolades for her work on behalf of the New Hampshire business and restaurant community. Emshika joins us to talk about her family, her 2021 resolutions, and the power of positivity. 

Thank you to Kerrygold for supporting Radio Cherry Bombe.

MAYHEM: In this weeks tumultuous episode JayJ regales you with the dark tale of The Sleeping Sickness and an unknown assailant from a satirical early 00's cartoon cracks open the cold case of Karina Holmer. If you listen with only one headphone in, you might hear the entire plot of the Twilight saga. 

Ever wanted to have an au pair? Or maybe you prefer to send your kids to a daycare? Or do both feel like an out-of-reach luxury?

After a few people have judged Tegan for having a live-in nanny, she wants everyone to know it’s not as glamorous as it seems. 

Plus, Leigh’s WTF of the week was when she realised she’s never celebrated Christmas as an adult. So for the first time in a long time, she’s going to go big for Christmas… Mariah Carey album and all!

Jordan lived in Galway, Ireland for a year as an Au Pair, where she lived with a family that she nannied for. Galway is a very musical city, with buscars everywhere! They have a big Halloween parade put on by the Macnus performers.  Jordan describes the winding geography of this medieval city, going to Griffin’s Bakery, Coffeewerk + Press, and then walking over the Salthill Promenade. She shares about the cultural differences she noticed while living abroad!
