This month our monthly meeting was a breakfast at my house.    It must have been my biggest meeting ever!   19 of my au pairs attended, and since many of them take care of children during the day, some of them even brought their children.  As you can see, it was a crowd!   Fortunately we had a nice day and could sit out in the backyard, and the kids had the chance to run around and play.

With many new au pairs arriving over the summer, this meeting was a chance for the new arrivals to meet each other and the more seasoned au pairs in the group.    We said good-bye to Ramata who will go back to France and to Karolina who is going back to Poland.    Both of them gave advice to the new au pairs on how to have a successful au pair year.

This month we also had our required child care & safety discussion.  As per State Department regulations, we need to offer this at least once every three months.    We discussed discipline and au pairs were able to bring in their own experiences and listen to what others had to contribute.
