I’m happy to welcome you to the blog for the Virginia Beach and Norfolk, VA area cluster of Au Pair in America! In the coming days and weeks I’ll be adding information and articles that I hope will be interesting and useful to my current au pairs and host families, as well as potential host families. If you have questions, comments or suggestions please leave them here, or email me at lroberts.apia@gmail.com.
