  • Hey guys!
    In this video I share my tips on how I saved money as an Au Pair receiving an Au Poor Stipend. This worked for me and I'M NOT SAYING IT WILL WORK FOR YOU TOO. We have different families, lifestyles etc so bear that in mind. Other than that please enjoy the video and let me know if you have any questions in the comment section.

    Love this video. Being an au pair during quarantine and not having the ability to go out shopping has made me realize I really don’t need to spend any of the money I make because all of my basic needs are taken care of by my host family. I haven’t spent any money in 2 months... I’ve been thinking about making a video about saving money as an au pair too. Also, I love your makeup, you alway look so beautiful in all of your videos!

      Jessica Abroad Thank you! The quarantine was definitely much needed by all of us to learn what is necessary and what isn’t.

      Hey!! Its an experience of a lifetime. Will change you completely. I'd advice you to do lots of research. I've got videos where I explain other things such as reasons why you shouldn't au pair.
      But thank you for the support.

      Hi! Firstly thank you for watching my video. Appreciate the support❤️ Well it’s possible to travel and still save but I wouldn’t think you’d save a ton of money. I tried to save my whole $200. You just need to plan your travel plans accurately and in an affordable way to not spend recklessly.
