A DAY IN MY LIFE AS AN AU PAIR (older kids) | VivianinAmerica 

They got vitamins in the morning tho :D no medicine. but he had some ADHD symptoms. the situation with the backpack was kind of a excited/funny one because I had the camera on. Normally he didn't do that :)

as a mom with a kid with adhd i totes understand that kind of behavior. my 8 year old cant focus long enough to clean her room. you cant judge cause you never know whats going on behind the scenes

+Ignacio Martinez you're welcome! 😁

+Elvira Schmal ok mama

steven ortega In which country do you want to be au pair?

Amalia Multifandom... hello, I also want to be an Aupair. How and where to apply?

steven ortega if you want to stay in Europe, you could use Au Pair world, I used it and a lot of Spanish au pairs here in Ireland did it as well! But there are also a lot more agencies

+Tom Tennant yes I know it possible with the agency "cultural care" ☺️

This is a really late reply but she's making chicken nuggets for lunch not breakfast, they ate cereal in the morning, dunno how you missed that

I agree and Au pairs should only do light house work. This lady is working way too hard.

@@lisasmith2118 well ur tasks are organize and cleaning everything which is related to the kids. the family had cleaning ladys as well which were cleaning the rest of the house

I agree that they are spoiled. But often this is normal in the american culture. I was kinda shocked too. But you can't tell the parents how they should raising their kids. If you are told to to those things like this you need to follow those rules...

well this was kinda a funny situation. he knew that I was filming and was excited to do something in front of the camera. I took it not seriosly and picked it up. Normally he didn't do that :)

This part pissed me off. I would have smacked the crap out of my kid for that. THEY HAVE ZERO RESPECT! ZERO!

You know that was me like 3 years ago. Yea I was kinda selfish back then

If the parents tell you rules you need to follow them. as an au pair you need to raise the kids exactly how the parents do. I thought the same as you...

No, This one wasn't supposed to happen, Totally not an au pairing. But, back to the agreement they've made.

or cant cause they have good jobs that have helped them be rich. but let me clarify you dont have to be rich to afford an au pair. they only cost $1500 usd a month. which is only $375 a week. im not rich at all and i can afford that. the avergae household not on asssistance pays 800+ a month for full time childcare per child. do the math

and that average cost doesnt include any kind of housework. an au pair is also about the experience of getting to live in another country they have 2 days off a week like most jobs she is working a job. having an au pair has nothing to do with being rich. i could afford one if i wanted and we only make about 75 grand a year which after paying the au pair would leave us with $4,750 a month to cover all our bills and expenses and considering where i live that housing is significantly more affordable than other places that amount is more than sufficient. the problem is that you HAVE to provide an au pair with their own room. i have 2 kids and a 3 bedroom home and i dont think making my 12 year old and 8 year old share a room is fair.

Kasual Beauty au pair in Europe only pays $100 a Week 😂

it was me i was the boy and yes i was very spoiled i’ve learned tho

Well they did that since I was there. I didn't teach them :D

They are doing it correctly bro

It's normal to work 8-10 hrs a day and get paid 200 per week. Also you don't need to pay for living or food. Even for the gas in my freetime I didn't need to spend a penny :)

kimberley and you get time off

Do they pay you? I though the pay was giving you a home a food?

Perla Marie Pena Usually if you do this many hours you get paid and you get free food/accommodation :)

Perla Marie Aupairs are getting paid and the host family also pay for your flying ticket.

@@mariem5816 they pay you 200 dollars per week :)

Sadly thats how most of the american families look like...

maybe they work really late and that's why they have an au pair. Or maybe they just don't like being on camera?

well they worked all day long and they were exhausted at the end of the day. Thats why I was there to drive the kids to their activities and help with homework

Btw, Sorry guys that boy was me back then. I apologized for my rudness. Yes both of my parents work throguhout the day and have to goi on business trips.

Wow au pairs do a lot ! I thought it was like light housework . Didn’t think u had to do laundry and vacuum etc .. and make meals .

You are so sweet for apologizing..and that is very,very mature of you! A lot of grown up people dont take responsibilities for their actions so I think you will be just fine :)

Freyja90 where i live the water is free so i didn't even think of that xD

Belieberjerry15 even if it is free you should not waste water like that

Goshh😂ikr. It was killing mee watching her waste it like that

Omg that’s the same thing I was thinking 😣

Water that goes down the drain gets recycled.

Alejandra Martínez i don't understand? She worked 9 hours. That's standard

After she dropped the kids off a school at around 9:00am it said Free time. Then at around 3:00pm she started 'work' again. I thought that was an amazing amount of free time!

But all her free time was spent doing housework...how is that free time?

​@@hwangnoeul No, her free time started at 9am and 3pm she back to work.

She didn't ... after q kids was to school she was cleaning from 8:25 to 9am ... than she took shower (I think) and was to bed and after she back at 3pm.

+Mina W Ohja ich auch :-D

+Mina W haha dem Kindchen hätte ich was erzählt, geschweige denn den Schulranzen aufgehoben. Aber naja, bin Erzieherin :D

Wenn dir die Eltern diese Aufgaben geben, bist du als Au pair dazu verpflichtet dies zu tun. Leider war ich auch nicht mit vielen Sachen einverstanden, aber ich kann mich ja schlecht an die Vorschriften "meines Arbeitgebers" oder den Erziehungstil stellen... Muss man durch als Au Pair

und die Situation mit dem Rucksack war keine alltägliche Sache. in dem Moment wusste er genau, dass ich filme und war excited. Er wollte unbedingt was vor der Kamera machen und hat ihn dann dahin geworfen. normalerweise hat er das nicht getan

well this was kinda a funny situation. he knew that I was filming and was excited to do something in front of the camera. I took it not seriosly and picked it up. Normally he didn't do that :)

Ich glaube das war eine Indische Familie

+gree Ju Nein.

Doch halb indisch halb amerikanisch!

well you live and eat there for free. most au pairs don't need to pay for gas for the car either. 200 to spend for your free time each week is a lot :D

+Fabiola Loría I agree with that. It´s horrible think that she waste the water every single day.

Say that also to those people using pools everywhere....

Rude u spend water too alot people do SO DEAL WITH IT 😈👿

i though the same thing

working :)

clearly you got something wrong. I was off from 9am-3pm every week day. then 3-9pm which makes 8hrs per day :) (normal working hrs)

+Megan Pieterse go for it!!

ah vielen lieben Dank! 😊😊

Leider ist das in Amerika ganz häufig der Fall... Aber jede Aufgabe die mit den Kindern verbunden ist, also auch cleaning up after them, gehört zu den Aufgaben eines Au Pairs

actually my day is not that long because I'm off from 9am-3pm everyday

right?

I do

Chris Marcus i do

Chris Marcus me too

In Italy 99% of people to these things

i do the toothbrush one

alles was zu den Kids gehört, zählt zu den Aufgaben eines Au pairs. Die regeln sind, dass nichts gerenigt werden darf, was nicht den Kindern zugeordnet werden darf. organizing und cleaning up after kids ist eine ganz normale au pair aufgabe

unsere Spüle hat keinen Stöpsel sodass man abwaschwasser einlassen kann, kann man kaum glauben aber das ist Amerika haha 😅

lusia chindy which country of America?

+Yissel Herrera Sorry but it's problem. Au pair in usa: 18 - 26 years old.

+Yissel Herrera If you want to go as an au pair using a specific agency then age limit is 18-26 years old but if you are brave enough you can try to go to au pair world and there it's only you and the families and they set the age limit for themselves not the agency, but you have to do all the paper work and visa stuff by yourself.

+Kaulitzkaaa97 😫

+PrzyjaciolomSieUFO either way thanks for the help, I'll just teach English once I get my bachelors. Then get pay and for it. I'll have to find out if residency is paid for, but overall is less work. When there is a will there is a way 😀

ja ich glaube, dass ist bei den meisten Au pairs mit älteren Kindern so :) und danke 🙈

Me too!! Well, not in London, in Hertfordshire. I'm very nervous!!!

+Elena Marras me too! omg ahah :) but don't worry! everything will go fine!I'll be in Bromley, so not London London as well but close

+DaKotaArielCristally I think it's a little difficult to go for the first time as an au pair to London, at first that's what I wanted but after months of trying I realize that I'd have to be more flexible, but it's okay. It's your first time as an us pair I'm guessing right? When do you go? I'm going the 6 of February!

+Elena Marras yes you're right! no, is not my first one :) My very first time was 2 years ago and I was in wolverhampton (close to Birmingham) andnas you said I choosed a smaller place to go so I was more secure! I'm going the 31 of January! :) If you want to let me know how it goes text me anytime ^^

+DaKotaArielCristally and as*

die kamen immer am späten nachmittag/abend nach hause während ich mit den kids schon bei einer activity war :)

Often I did the grocerys too yes :)

You have a one week orientation before joining the family. after that the family will work you slowly in to get comfortable with everything

Naja ich bin ja von 9am-3pm jeden Tag Off 😁

+Maria ignacia b I mentioned in the video that my free time is in the morning at 9am to the afternoon 3pm :)

I'm doing just all the household duties which are related to the kids (organize rooms, cleaning up after them, laundry). they are in school until 3.40pm and at this time I'm free. helping with homework, bring them to their activities, eat together is the time I spend with them. sometimes there is time for playing together. but because they are so busy there is not so much time for that :) obviously when you have younger kids which are not in school you spend all the time with them

+Jessie just one time and I'm still an au pair right now. my year ends this summer. I'm with the German one here (aifs) and in America it's au pair in america (Apia)

ich kann da leider nicht viel machen, da ich ja meine aufgaben von den eltern vorgeschrieben bekomme. da kann ich schlecht sagen mach ich nicht. als au pair muss man den erziehungs der kinder von eltern nunmal folgen..

+Lydi BlubBlub danke :) das ist von tumblr

weheartit :)

I'm sorry I changed that haha

american kids ...

well you can eat and live for free there. As an addition you get paid 200 a week :)

iMovie 😊

meine hosteltern sind fast immer zuhause! also mindestens ein Elternteil ist fast immer da, weil meine hostmum oft von zuhause arbeitet und bei meinem hostdad grade das Büro renoviert wird! 😊

Ach so! Weil du die kids ja abends und morgens hast! Ich hatte so das Gefühl sie sehen sich gar nicht :)

nice! nothing specific comes to my mind at the moment 😅

+BuzziMuzzi this is a very popular thing you can do after graduating high school in Germany. many people don't want to continue straight with college and want to take a break from Germany and their everyday life. we are not coming for the money here. first it's to improve your English, collect more experiences with children (maybe for your future job) and just have the opportunity to get to know the American life and live in a family. it's pretty good because they pay you for food, you don't need to pay for an apartment and you can drive their car! all in all its a wonderful experience you can count to your life. most of the time it is a big bonus for every job/college when you can show your certificate that you loved one year in America and have the experience with children, the language and the culture :)

I'm responsible for everything which relates to the kids
