Au Pairs take a yoga class

This month I gathered my au pairs at Together in Motion in East Arlington and taught a yoga class for them.   It was a very unusual class, as there was lots of talking and giggling involved.  We had a great time together and gathered afterwards in the lobby to enjoy some refreshments.

We said good-bye to Ant and Hongmei who will leave in June after being au pairs for two years.  What an accomplishment!   Congratulations!       We also welcomed German au pair Lara who arrived this month.

This month, I taught a yoga class to my pair cluster, which took place at The Arlington Center Yoga Studio in East Arlington.  For some au pairs, it was their first exposure to yoga.   Everybody seemed to enjoy the experience.

After the class, we enjoyed a good-bye cake for Saskia and Alicia who will be leaving us in June.    I congratulated them for their accomplishments, and they talked to the other au pairs about their experience as an au pair.  We also welcomed new au pair Evelina to our cluster.   Having access to a group of other au pairs who are sharing their experience and who might be a good resource for them has been a very valuable for my au pairs.

In an effort to ensure the best possible childcare for our host families, Au Pair in America counselors are required to hold a childcare/safety meeting with their au pair groups.  This month’s meeting included a discussion about spring and summer safety.  You can find the document under “Au Pair Info.”
