I talk about everything au pair, college, travel and lifestyle. Mostly au pair because when I wanted to become an au pair 5 years ago, there wasn't any Black South African RU-vidrs who spoke about the experience. So here am I using this platform to provide an insight to future au pairs, former au pairs and potential au pairs.

I did this job it was the biggest regret of my life. Emotionally abusive home. Overly servailances. No one listed when I asked for help. I left after 6 months with heart failure. Other au pairs I knew were not too happy either, to be honest.
Hey sis lebone❤ I've been thinking about upgrading my IT skills with a Higher Certificate from DUT, then becoming an Au Pair. This would let me study tech course part-time at community college, with my host family covering $500 of my expenses. I didn't do tech in high school, but I already have a Higher Certificate in IT. What do you think - is this plan possible ? Like connect my credits from IT Certificate to a community collage I hope it makes sense
Well done, Lebone. I'm a mum of a 15 year old in Form 3, starting her IGSCE next year. It's hectic already . I'm wondering if you will be allowed to practise law in the USA if you are not a citizen?
Hi Lebo - really helpful video, thanks. A question please - My daughter is leavng for Florida to aupair next month for the first time. What would you suggest she uses to save money? Open a bank account / credit card in USA? Paypal? South African credit card? Sorry very new to all this.
Greetings! Well it’s a bit complicated. 1. In order to open a bank account, she will need a social security number which she can obtain once she arrives. The host family should be able to assist her to get that. With a social security number, she can open a bank account, apply for a driver’s license, get a credit card etc.. The only downside is she will have to pay taxes. Not a huge deal honestly, just 10% of her income. 2. If she doesn’t want to opt for nr 1, she can save the money cash. But I recommend number 1. If she has an American bank account, she can save money by sending it to her South African bank account. It just depends on a lot of things. Hope that helps😊
Nope. Studying law in the United States is a graduate degree. In order to study law, you need a 4 year degree first, and then you have to take the LSAT, and then you’ll be able to apply.
