    Yes! You read my mind again! Could you do a video on phones and phone plans when you’re moving from the states to Europe and bank stuff? Like did you have to open a bank account in Paris or did your host family pay you in cash?

    What would you recommend packing to be geared up for the US.
    And which states would you recommend, I'm looking at Florida, California, NY and Massachusetts. All depending on where I find the perfect host fam.

    • @nikeelisabeth
      @nikeelisabeth 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's difficult! What's the reason why they don't want you to leave? I think they may be scared because its something which they know very little about. The solution might be to educate them on how the process works, maybe let them talk with your host family once you've found one and so on so that they know you'll be safe.
      In the end, it's really up to you and if it's something you want to do, then do it! If it doesn't turn out to be the way you thought you can always go back home.

    I really want to be an Au Pair after upper secondary school. I will graduate when I'm 19 but I will work at a daycare before I go to get the required hours with kids. I will be 20 when I leave most likely, is that too old? Will I still be able to have fun? Will I be like the grandma of the local Au Pairs? How old were you when you became an Au Pair? I would love to hear you opinions on this. Thank you!

    • @kcgoh2796
      @kcgoh2796 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      feeling too old is probably like feeling you are too shit for a job before you even go for an interview. It is just a stupid noise in your head. I would recommend you not to think too much and just go with your instinct. Just do what you want without causing any problems to the people around you then you are good to go^^

    • @sallyreid151
      @sallyreid151 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know the original comment is from a year ago.. but I was first an au pair in Spain when I was 19, and now I’m going to be one in Germany at age 21. That’s perfectly normal and you’ll still have a great time as long as you make the most out of it! You can be an au pair up to age 26 in most places and I think I may even do it one more time in France in a few years. Enjoy it and step outside of your comfort zone by challenging yourself :)
