Au pairs this month gathered up in a host family’s gorgeous backyard in Redmond.  We “solved the current childcare dilemmas” for one another, talked about why we were named what we were named, chatted education requirements for the visa and ate donuts.  A lovely, intimate get to know you kind of cluster meeting with delegates from Norway, Germany, Luxemborg, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.

Earlier this month, thanks to a generous donation from friends of the au pair program, several au pairs attended a Mariner’s ball game free of charge.  Those in attendance shared their thoughts on Peace Day, the UN sponsors holiday on Sept 21.  Put out the good and it will come back to you.
