Supporting Au Pair to make friends in Oxford - Help please!

[Sezramum]

Apologies if this is not the best place to post but my local board seems very quiet.

My Au Pair arrives soon and I would like to help her to make friends or start networking with other Au Pairs in and around Oxford.

I have done a bit of a google but I am at a bit of a loss! Are there any families with Au pairs in the Oxford/shire area that have any suggestions of how I can help her meet others?

She will be attending language classes which I am sure will help but any other suggestions will be gratefully received!

Have you gone through an agency? Perhaps they will be able to provide some contacts for her?

There are various Facebook groups for au pairs so I'd suggest she join some of them.

Oxford is big enough and middle class enough that there will be at least one established Facebook group.

You could also try meetup.com

Half a second search on fb yielded this: www.facebook.com/groups/295644747163929/

Thank you, I just found the group. I had googled but not searched on Facebook!

Google's often not much cop for Facebook groups.

I only knew where to look because it's what our first au pair suggested
