Do you remember what it is like to be a new au pair? Feeling excited, nervous, anxious, a little homesick all at the same time. As we enter the spring, and especially the summer, months you will have plenty of opportunities to welcome a new au pair. Take time this week to:

* Arrange to meet a new au pair for coffee

*Take her out and show her where to buy shampoo, clothes, etc.

*Accompany her to the next cluster meeting

*If you have a busy work week, at least send an email
