As an au pair (and as a parent!) it can be useful to join local groups to connect with other people who are getting out and doing things with their kids! Remember it is completely ok to join groups on facebook etc. but you should not post photos, names, ages, etc. of your host kids! You can still interact online and post, comment, ask questions etc. to get involved with the community!

These groups are all great for getting information about local happenings, like library story times, walking meetups, swimming meetups, etc.

With your host family’s permission, you can also post and propose a meetup for an activity if you’d like to! It’s a great way to practice your English, get to know other people in the area, and pass the time doing something fun for your host kids.
