Homesickness and Scavenger Hunting in a New Home State – October 2017

Over 60 au pairs on a program representing over 60 countries made some time this past Sunday to focus on self care, while they carry out the important work of childcare, culture sharing and adapting to life here in the US.  The Au Pair In America community took a ferry over to Bainbridge as a multi-cluster event.  Starting the day getting to know one another, talking about coping strategies for homesickness, scavenger hunting to know this beautiful island better and ending the day with an ice cream before ferrying home again.  It was perfect and everyone is just where they are meant to be.  #beingthechangetheywishtosee
