Au Pairs from the Annapolis cluster gathered together to celebrate the holidays with a gift exchange and an international cookie swap. Au pairs brought a baked
good or cookie that was representative of their country and at the end of the evening everyone went home with cookies from all over the world! A Federal Marshall attended the event to speak to the girls about personal safety when going out alone, with friends or when out with the children that have been entrusted to their care. Topics discussed included awareness of their surroundings, how
to handle going shopping with children and what to do in case they find themselves to be a victim of a crime. Internet safety tips were discussed as well.
