On Sunday, September 18th the Suffolk County Cluster of Au Pairs gathered for a fun and useful cluster meeting. Each au pair painted a heart ornament for a holiday tree we will decorate in December. The hearts represented their country or time in the USA.
The craft project gave each au pair a chance to be creative. She also had time to socialize with other au pairs. Many of the au pairs arrived during the summer months and this was their first meeting!
Beautiful ornaments will be added to the holiday tree
Then we had a few safety and back to school tips to review:
- Playground safety
- Minimizing morning madness
- The backpack – communication between school and home
- School bus stop safety
- Distracted driving
- Driving tips for all au pairs
- September is Baby Safety Month and safety was reviewed
We also went over some upcoming great activities for au pairs this fall. Then everyone enjoyed socializing while having some pumpkin pie and apple cider.
