Do you remember what it is like to be a new au pair? Feeling excited, nervous, anxious, a little homesick all at the same time. We have two new au pairs joining our cluster in the next two weeks, so  take time this week to:

* Arrange to meet a new au pair for coffee or ice cream

*Take her out and show her around town.

*Accompany her to the next cluster meeting

*If you have a busy work week, send an email

*Set up a play date for the children in your care if they are of comparable ages
