January Newsletter
Dear au pairs and host families,
Happy 2017!
May it be bright and healthy for all of you!
Holidays are over, and kids will be back at school soon. Back to school means back to regular schedule and routines. It is always good to start new year organized and to provide au pairs with a detailed schedule each week to avoid miscommunication about time off and on duty hours. It is also a good idea to keep in mind au pair’s class schedule and meeting schedule so this way it will allow both sides to plan work and free time accordingly.

December meeting
Thank you to everyone who came to the Christmas party and very big thank you to the Westney host family for hosting it at their house. I hope you all enjoyed it and had fun. I sure did!
*********************************************************************************************
In an effort to keep everyone on the same page, I periodically send out an update to all families and au pairs regarding recent questions or areas of confusion. If you have a question or helpful piece of feedback, please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention so that we can make sure that everyone can benefit from the information and everyone can be “In The Know”.
As you might have noticed, there have been some recent changes in regards to LCC covering area. Cultural Care has hired several new LCCs in the area and it change the Sandy Springs group. Those host families that live in Sandy Springs were moved from my group to Melanie Oberlander’s group.
If any of you have more questions about this, please let me know.

January – Sunday, January 22nd at 1:30pm. We will go ice-skating at Marietta Ice Center.
