June Clustermeeting

We had a chatty lunch and  afternoon together at our June clustermeeting at my house in Braintree.

To many aupairs we had to say good bye and new aupairs already arrived who were happy to get in touch within our cluster.

I am so thankful to have so many fantastic aupairs who share their information with traveling in and out of the US, taking classes at local colleges and opportunities how to get together with each other.

Our buffet was tremendously good with International food everybody shared within our group from their home country recipes.

Cultural Fair at the Children’s Museum

IMG_0864May 1st was a day of cultural education and fun, sponsored by Au Pair in America at the Boston Children’s Museum. Over the course of the afternoon, hundreds of enthusiastic children and parents toured the exhibition, received earth and skin friendly tattoos, had their faces painted with country flags, and chatted with au pairs representing countries from around the world.

The Au Pair in America Cultural Fair was truly a multi-modal event.
Traditional dance in authentic costume highlighted the presentation by Thailand while the German au pairs entertained visitors with traditional German spring egg craft and painting.  South African au pairs proudly painted their country’s flag on little and big smiling faces alike, while a  colorful and tempting piñata dangled overt the Mexico booth.  Au pairs from many other countries served as international teachers of the culture and beauty of their homelands as well.  Photos of this great event are available on our cluster photos link below.
