It has been a while since I have posted a blog and I have made myself a promise to become better about keeping up with this! As most of you all know, we welcomed our third au pair, Veronica, in April. She is from Paraguay and has been a blessing in our lives. In 5 short months she has become so important to us. I wanted to share something wonderful that she did for the kids on their last week home before school. Veronica organized a camp out in the back yard with the kids, and two of their neighborhood friends! This was not her working hours, she was not trying to impress us (she doesn't need to), this was just Veronica bonding with the kids and doing something special with them. They pitched two tents, she organized scavenger hunts, smores, movie, and in the morning a breakfast competition....girls vs. boys! I encourage all of my au pairs to take the extra step with your host kids. Do special things with them as a "big sister". This goes so far in building a wonderful relationship!
