It was a dark and stormy night….actually it was a dark and beautiful night out in Dickerson at Markoff’s Haunted Forest. Au Pairs huddled together as they entered the forest which was described as the “scariest ever”. An experience none of the au pairs will forget!



Potomac Shoreline Cluster Au Pairs (Bethesda, Cabin John, Glen Echo and Potomac) on September 20th visited the Cabin John Firehouse #10 on River Road for a lesson in fire safety including: when to phone 911, importance of a family having a meeting point outside the house in the event of a fire, locating 2 exits from the home, what to do in a power outage, what to do in the event of flooding roads etc.
