Au Pairs Summer and Water Safety Training
Each June Community Counselor Cindy Garruba teaches a cluster meeting to prepare her Au Pairs for the Long Island Summer Childcare. All of the Suffolk County Au Pair in America Au Pairs will spend time at a beach or pool with their host children. It is important that they learn water safety and prevention of drowning. An experienced former Red Cross Lifeguard and Swim Instructor, Cindy stresses safety tips from her years of experience growing up along the Long Island Sound Shore.
Cindy also does training on sunscreen and sunburn prevention, basic first aid for cuts and scrapes, poison ivy identification and treatments, identification of ticks, lyme disease symptons, rashes, prevention and treatment recommendations.
This training is essential for a safe and fun summer in Suffolk County Long Island, NY.

Saturday, June 19 our cluster had a booth at the Southold Craft Fair. We sold international food made by the au pairs, sold crafts we made, taught kids about their cultures, handed out Au Pair in America brochures and had a wonderful time. All funds raised go to the Southampton Fresh Air Home Summer Camp for Disabled Children. Thanks to all who contributed time, effort and bought our crafts, food and raffle!!
German Au Pair Patty Bak is exploring careers while here in the USA. Always interested in journalism, Patty decided to volunteer at a local Hampton newspaper. She got a chance to cover a screening and discussion of a movie hosted by actor Alec Baldwin!
