Our sweet (pun intended) group of au pairs arrived ready to tour and eat our way through Theo Chocolate last Sunday. Despite the hairnets, it was a delight to learn the chocolate making process and do it with a group of wonderful young women. Then we got to sit by the fire for 1:1 chats about how the year was going and ways to cope through the winter doldrums….we can all agree, chocolate helps…
Our cluster of au pairs gathered in my home this past Sunday for a customized webinar by one of the official APIA trainers. The APs were polled and selected the topic, “Activity Time – Infants and Toddlers”. We got great ideas on how to entertain our host babies (keeping them safe above all), using puppets and potato stamps with toddlers and making wonderful Valentine’s projects with children of all ages. We then took a snack break to get to know one another more and circled back again to talk about TAXES. A nice discussion about a complex topic…with more on this to come…
