A Spooky Night at the Circus – Oct 2018

Au pairs gathered at the Emerald City Trapeze Arts Studio to enjoy an amazing (and really spooky) show.  Strong women from Costa Rica, Brazil, Germany, Austria, South Africa, and Poland watched as more strong women from around the globe dazzled us with their balance and strength.  (The guys were pretty good too.)  Taking their cues from popular music and movies and music movies, the performers were true artists.  It’s a lesser known fact that Seattle hosts one of the largest circus school in the US, but these au pairs now know the truth.

Scavenger Hunting on Bainbridge Island – October 2018

This fun loving group ran the streets of this gorgeous island this month, taking selfies at various vendors and getting to know new APIA community members.  Au pairs worked on teams and raced to the finish line for ice cream prizes.  We took some time beforehand to talk about how to best talk through conflict when you work where you live and how to support one another through the most rewarding, but most challenging year many will face.  Together we are stronger!
