\"Local

Local community counselors of the greater Boston area of Au Pair in America<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Saturday, eight Boston area au pair clusters met at Carver Hill Orchard in Stow, MA for our annual host family\/au pair picnic.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Host families and au pairs enjoyed apple cider and cider donuts provided by the counselors and the kids participated in fall themed art projects.\u00a0 Families and au pairs also went apple picking and enjoyed a hayride through the orchard.<\/p>\n

As per State Department regulation, as an au pair agency, we need to offer our host families an informational host family workshop each year during which host families can also meet each other and get to know the cluster better.<\/p>\n

We always like to offer this apple picking venue\u00a0 since it offers the cultural experience that is so much part of our au pair program.\u00a0\u00a0 Host families had a choice of informational handouts relating to the host family \u2013 au pair relationship and cultural differences.<\/p>\n
