my HONEST OPINION about being an AuPair in America! 🇺🇸 

Thank you so much for this video! I'm a single father here in the state of Ohio. I can say from my heart that my kids and I are truly blessed with such an amazing wonderful young Lady! She is without a question our family and will always be! I will call her BB don't feel comfortable to use her real name without her knowing. BB is from the beautiful country of Thailand! Yes at first it was a little stressful but more for BB than my kids and myself. Because of the culture shock for BB and of course she missed her family very much! I was understanding and patient with BB I also was blessed to have my sister who only lives 8 miles from me to help and comfort BB while I was working or traveling for work. BB caught on very quickly! She is a very strong young Lady! Yes it takes understanding from both sides! This means understanding from the host parent/parents as well! These Young Women are coming to a different Country which can seem like a different planet! They miss their beautiful family they have to quickly adjust to a different culture! So I guess my message is more for host parents...Please be understanding and patient with the young Lady! Remember they are people with feelings and emotions just as you and I! I promise your Au pair Daughter will be so amazing for your children and yourself! She will make you proud to watch her grow as a person! So please be kind and loving to her. My kids have learned so so much from my Thai Daughter because in my eyes and heart she is a Daughter to me! My kids speak more Thai than English at home because they think the language is very cool😂❤❤ Also remember an Au Pair is most definitely not becoming Rich from her job! So be generous from your heart to her! I promise if you love and respect her she will give you the same! I love my thai daughter so very much! I'm blessed and grateful for her! I can't wait to watch her accomplish her life goals and dreams and give her the biggest hug! Also please remember that we are all of the human race and we have more in common than a part!

Thanks for this very honest video 🧡 I‘m going to be an Au Pair in July and I think it’s important to also talk about the not perfect moments of the Au Pair life on Social Media!

OMG!!! Thank you so much for such a honest opinion and message about being an Aupair

Brilliant Anna! Love the editing, and the insights you give.

Hi Anna! Really liked this video, I have been an aupair for 18 months and I can agree with what you said. The only thing I might disagree with is that people only want to see the good parts about it. I'm feeling like that showing the bad or hard part about it is very authentic and also helpful. Thanks for sharing♡

This is such a fresh new perspective and it made me think of alot of things. Thank you so much❤

Thanks for uploading these kind of videos !!

Thank you so much for your honesty. You sound like a very mature young woman.

Thanks for being honest.Am looking forward to become a aupair .I can't wait to find a host family soon

Thank you so much for this video! It has really helped me ❤

Thank you so much for this video! I honestly prefer reality checks to those romanticized videos. I want to become an au pair but I have such a hard time finding videos that show the downsides or what I should be prepared for. I just want to make sure to see all aspects and this video really helped with my attitude and mindset towards being an au pair. Thank you so much for this insight💞

Many years ago, I suspect that Au Pairs were girls who didn't have great opportunities for education or careers. So a girl who had taken care of younger siblings and had been raised by her mother to cook and clean house would have exactly the experience to work as an Au Pair. Whereas today, girls know that they can be doctors or lawyers or corporate managers, and with smaller family sizes they probably didn't have younger siblings to take care of. We live in a 'what's in it for me?' world, so why would you travel thousands of miles to be a servant? I'm sure it can be a good experience, but far fewer young women would be a good fit for the job.

❤❤ thanks for your kind advice for us.I’m considering being an au pair all the time but I am a little worried about whether could I take all the responsibilities cause I have never went to another country before and stay with a for family 😊 that’s really important to me❤ As a Chinese girl I really wanna go aboard ❤🎉

I was an AuPair many years ago (2006/07), this video is 100% on point!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Amazing video,thanks for sharing

watching from philippines and thank you for your wonderful message much appreciate it, more videos upload being aupair and God bless😚🤗😊😇❣

Your English is amazing! Great job!

Obrigada por esse vídeo! 💜

That’s great ! I want my niece to experience that and become mature learn how to be responsible. I think people from beginning are like you said than they learn the life which they wouldn’t in most own families especially today kids don’t help parents like you said they eat and leave dishes behind i talk about teenagers around 16 y old they don’t do anything the parents do all the home responsibilities. I was aupair in England in London and then New York and California. I see my 19 y old niece struggling with life like find a job or have own room her whole life because her useless dad never worked 23 years she had hard life . Id like her to come to USA where actual I live past 20 years and I can help her out if there is any language or other problems even there is coordinator which helped me when there were problems with my host family and their 16 y ild son was ordering drugs and marijuana pipes on my name . Yeah I had some interesting family that’s why communication with your coordinator is important that’s why they transferred me to other family in California before Id get in very bad legal situation. I had 3 host families as aupair. Maybe I should make a video as well. My 3 th family was great but my second the kid was trouble maker and dad was Jewish and wanted me to do work on their 15 bedroom 7 bathroom house ! Gardening etc for free !!! My first family fed me only frozen bag of veggies I lost 20 kg and I was just Muscle I did bodybuilding prior my year in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 my coordinator saw me after 6 months and told my host family which was single father very poor and cheap , told him to feed me meat and get me gym membership because I lost the 20 kg it was actually in 6 months i lost that much weight, than it was better. So you need to talk to your coordinator some families try anything to use you , but others were more lucky Rich families and not so cheap they travel and get gifts like laptops etc . I was only one of 3 males 2 were gay so basically I was only one real man out of 80 of us Aupairs in New York .

this is beyond relatable and im going through the exact same thing now

Thanks for shering your story

Just a question, im in the process of finding a host family/becoming an au pair. If you plan the afternoon when the kids are back and want to go to the kids museum does that come out of your own pocket?

Hii, what do you think about being an aupair as 18 girl ? I really wanna go, but I'm opened mind... I know all the responsibility. My target doing a aupair program is improve my English as much as possible and get out of my comfort zone

I agree with you in everything you said

After the 12months can you stay or extend your contract ? I really want to apply

Wow, ein richtig tolles und ehrliches Video! 😉🥳 Dein Englisch ist echt super. Inwiefern hat sich denn dein Englisch in dieser Zeit verbessert? Warst du vorher eher schlecht oder konntest du es schon ganz gut?😅

Great video! Did you sign a contract agreement with your host family?

Hi! I'm very interested to Au Pair in the US. Do you know if it's possible to do short time Au Pairing, like for 3-6 months? 🥰

Hiii great video ! What company you use ?

Is the host family provide the visa?

If you have like 2 kids and they are fighting for that one toys how do you solve that? How do you deal with a baby with tantrums?

Hello, can I ask a question? If we ask our parents to enroll us in the school when we go and then pay for it by working ourselves, would they accept it? I heard it from a girl. And do they enroll us in the language course the first year we come? And do we have days off? Let's say we want to go to a concert. Do they allow?

Hey Anna, I'm curious did you au pair all the host families who reached out to you ? Say now you have set requirements that you prefer to work with kids over the age of 2, but a family with 4 kids( 2 under the age of 2 and the other 2 under age of 4), would you still do an interview or rather be honest with yourself because you know what you can handle ?

How did you handle stres before you went to america your first year as an au pair for a year ...i am going to netherlands in beginnig September 2022

I have big experienced to being scammed because here so many host families who are not real that they still collecting money

Where can I find an au pair like you? I'm a mama to a toddler and expecting another and I'd love to find an au pair who's so genuine and kind like you!

How do I hire you?!

what agency did you sign up with to be an au pair?

I have watched 3 or 4 videos and concluded you are very knowledgeable on the subject you talking about, you have a very clear videos, you speak very americanized, and of course , you are pretty, however, I noticed your contents are not virwed as much as supposed to be, maybe , like some Germans youtubers , they speak in their own language then subtitle with English or vice versa; so you can reach more audiences. Just suggestion, you know. Oh I subscribe to your channel.
