\"\"<\/a>September is an important time of year for Long Island families.\u00a0 The kids go back to school and routines change.\u00a0 Au Pair in America Suffolk County Au Pairs gathered at Community Counselor, Cindy Garruba’s house to get some important tips.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>The meeting began with making ornaments for the International Holiday tree au pairs and host families will decorate for the Stony Brook Village Promenade of Trees in December.\u00a0 Everyone painted a heart ornament to represent their country or their experience in the USA.\u00a0 The au pairs are so creative.\u00a0 They spend a lot of time doing arts and crafts with their host kids!\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

The agenda included Minimizing Morning Madness, School Bus Stop Safety, Safe Driving including no cell phones and distractions from kids in the car.\u00a0 We discussed the use of the child’s backpack as the communication tool between school and home, keeping on top of homework and school notices.\u00a0 We also talked about baby safety because September is Baby Safety month!\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Cluster meetings are an important part of the au pair experience.\u00a0 Not only do they learn important tips for a successful year as an au pair, but they also have an opportunity to make friends with other au pairs!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>We celebrated Carmen from Bolivia who has spent almost 2 years in the USA with her host family in St. James.\u00a0 She earned her education certificate and will get a certificate for completing the Au Pair in America year when she returns home to Bolivia in October.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
