Advice From A Bropair

Welcome to the origin story of why I created The Bropair and where I believe this au pair brand is headed. Long story short, I am taking over the au pair industry where The Bropair will become the worldwide authority on au pairing. Follow along and you too can be a part of the journey! 😃

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.

I asked you on my Instagram what are your scariest ghost stories which you experienced during your time as an au pair and here they are. I was so surprised and creeped out when I read your scary stories! I hope these stories don't creep you out too much haha. 

One of our stories is about a grandfather another is about a dog and the last one is an unsolved mystery... I have evidence and its going to scare you! I hope you like paranormal experiences because its about to get real scary!

One of the scariest steps in becoming an au pair is having the Skype interview with your potential host family. Maybe it should now be called the Zoom interview haha. You're probably pretty nervous and not sure what questions you need to ask them. Well I am here to help you out and make the whole interview process a little less stressful 😀

The questions are in order of most important to least important but they're definitely questions that need to be asked. The host family's answers to these au pair questions will help you to decide if they are the right family for you to match with.  If you found this video to be helpful then please would you like it and subscribe if you aren't already. Comment below if you have any questions about the Skype interview or Zoom interview and as you know I reply to all of my comments! Good luck with the matching process!

Have a great day! 😄

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.

Have a great day! 😄

Speaking to your parents about certain things can be quite scary. But speaking to them about taking a gap year won't be after you watch this video! In this video I debunk 3 gap year myths such as:

1. Your family might be worried that you won't go study after your gap year

2. Your grades will fall if you take a gap year

3. That you have to be rich to take a gap year As well as addressing their concerns and teaching you how you can convince them that you taking  gap year is a good idea.

When it comes to gap years normally people would think that you can only take them before college or university but you can also take a gap year after you study, that is what I did. Listen to this podcast to learn the differences between the two and which option is the best for you.
