\"Valentines

Valentine's Au Pair Meeting<\/p><\/div>\n

For our February cluster meeting, I invited my au pair group for a Valentine’s Extravaganza at my house.\u00a0\u00a0 Au pairs had a choice of making heart-shaped pizzas, decorating heart-shaped cookies and making a heart craft.\u00a0 After eating their pizzas, many au pairs decorated cookies and made a captured heart craft as\u00a0 Valentines for their their host children.<\/p>\n

It is a requirement of the Au Pair in America program that one of the monthly cluster meetings each quarter focuses on child care, child development and\/or child safety.\u00a0 During this week’s meeting, we discussed cultural differences and how they can affect child care as well as the relationship between au pairs and host families.\u00a0 We discussed problems that might come up and how to prevent them.<\/p>\n
