Cluster Meetings - Au Pair in America Washington, DC

Cluster meetings are an integral part of an au pair’s experience in America and au pairs are highly encouraged to attend. Au Pair in America requires that counselors provide a cluster meeting per month. Our cluster meetings are scheduled on weekdays or weekends, mornings, afternoons or evenings, in order to accommodate the varied schedules of the host families in our area. A list of upcoming cluster meetings will be sent out via email during the monthly check-ins to both au pairs and host families so that they can be added to the family calendar.

Cluster meetings offer the opportunity to:

Enjoy the many wonderful places and activities in and around Washington, DC
Meet one another, make new friends from other countries and socialize
Develop a relationship with your counselor
Celebrate American holidays, welcome and say farewell to other au pairs
Share child development and safety tips
Support each other by sharing experiences

Au pairs are expected to attend cluster meetings and should contact their counselor prior to the meeting if they cannot attend. The host family is expected to provide the time and transportation for the au pair to attend cluster meetings. Au pairs and host families are encouraged to offer cluster meeting ideas.
