Spring finally arrived and it’s a good time to see Boston from atop the Prudential Center. This month we joined a few other Boston area clusters for a visit to the Skywalk. We had a group of over 100 au pairs!

Au Pairs Visit Prudential Center Skywalk
In April, our au pair cluster met a few other clusters and visited the skywalk. We had nice weather and amazing views of Boston.
We said good-bye to Lisa and Veronika and welcomed Natasha. For more photos go to skywalk.
Boston area au pairs visit the Prudential Center Skywalk
This month we joined other Boston area au pair clusters for a visit to the Prudential Center Skywalk. 50 floors above Boston, we had a bird’s eye view of Boston’s Hancock Tower, Fenway Park, the Boston Common and Public Garden, the Esplanade and Hatch Shell, the Charles River, MIT, Harvard University, and countless other Boston landmarks. Au pairs also had the chance to use interactive exhibits which provided them with a real flavor of the city’s distinctive culture and neighborhoods. Multimedia players were provided detailing the city’s historic past and current sites.
Afterwards, we walked to Panera Bread and enjoyed food and conversation. We welcomed Erika from Italy to our cluster and said good-bye to Nhung and Aneta.

Au Pairs visit Prudential Center Skywalk
This month, we met another Boston area cluster for a visit to the Prudential Center Skywalk. Au pairs enjoyed the view from the 50th floor despite the fact that it was cloudy. Au pairs also learned a lot about Boston by using the audio tour device and reading up on Boston facts.
Afterwards, we walked over to Vapiano restaurant in the theater district. Counselors distributed a handout about spring activities, including child safety reminders. Each quarter, counselors hold a childcare/safety meeting with au pairs in an effort to ensure good quality childcare for their host families.

Au Pairs visit the Prudential Center Skywalk
In addition to monthly meetings offered by each counselor to her au pair group, Au Pair in America counselors in the Boston area organize a regional event once a month that is open to all Au Pair in America au pairs in the Boston area. This month, 50 au pairs joined me and two other local counselors for the Prudential Center Skywalk
View of Boston
Blue, sunny skies made for breathtaking views from the 50th floor. Au Pairs were able to do an audio tour and learn more about the city of Boston and its landmarks. They all enjoyed getting to know the city they chose to come to a bit better. A true cultural exchange experience!
