In June au pairs from Au Pair in America were graciously invited to the home of a current host family for a pool party. Hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, chips and salsa, lots of dip and other great foods were available as we all relaxed in the the cool of the afternoon by the pool. We spoke about summer fun activities and safety tips such as protecting children in and around the water and the importance of sunscreen protection during the hot summer months.

June 14 is Flag Day
Flying the American flag is more popular than ever. It is a symbol of the country’s values and traditions. Do you know what the stars and stripes mean?
