    YOUR Farewell Gift Ideas For Your Host Family | Au Pair Advice

    YOUR Farewell Gift Ideas For Your Host Family | Au Pair Advice

    An au pair friend of mine sent me a DM asking if I could ask you guys for ideas on what would be the best farewell gifts for her to give her host-family so in today's video I am going to be sharing those with you all. Stay until the end to hear my favourite gift idea!

    A farewell gift doesn't need to be big or expensive. After your time as an au pair the best kind of gift will be something personal. Something to show how much you've learned about your family and something which will always remind them of you.

    Have a great day! 😄

    How To Know If You’re Being SCAMMED | Real Au Pair Scam Example

    How To Know If You’re Being SCAMMED | Real Au Pair Scam Example

    It is the worst thing in the world when you realize that you have been scammed! In this video I show you a real life example of an au pair scam and tell you what to look out for to spot the scammers and ways to avoid being scammed.

    Now here are some signs that the people who you are speaking to are trying to scam you: - They don't want to video call with you - They ask for money upfront - They say that they have "friends" who can help you get a visa or help you with the au pair application process - If there's typos or bad grammar in the conversations they have with you - They say you don't need an au pair agency - If something sounds too good to be true it usually is  I hope that it helps to educate and prevent anyone else falling victim to these au pair scams. Please like this video and share it with as many people as you can so that no one else gets scammed ever again. If you have any questions then leave a comment down below and subscribe if you aren't already. 

    Have a great day! 😄
