This time of year many au pairs are completing their year and are traveling or getting ready to travel in their travel month.  At their final cluster meeting, they are presented with an education completion certificate and are given an opportunity to share the highlights of their au pair year with the rest of the cluster.      It is often with very mixed emotions when the au pairs talk about leaving “their” kids, leaving their host families. leaving their friends and leaving America to return home.    The new au pairs love to hear what the departing au pairs have to say about their experience and very valuable advice is shared.   Here are some photos of au pairs who are leaving and also a group photo of new au pairs, au pairs who have been here for part of their year as well as those who are going home soon.
