Living the High Life as an Au Pair: Sami Jean's Uncommon Experience

An au pair, is a helper from a foreign country who works and lives as part of a host family. Typically, au pairs take on some of the family responsibilities for childcare and some housework, and receive monetary compensation or a salary for personal use. Sami Jean, however, ended up in a truly out-of-the-ordinary family: she lives with the super-rich. The 24-year-old has shared the perks of her job. An example? Flying around on private jets, vacationing on superyachts, and not paying for board or lodging. She has been an au pair for just over two years and shares her life daily on TikTok where she has more than 33,000 followers. How it all started: The girl revealed that she was hired by a family, to live in New York, after graduation through an agency called 'Scotia Personnel', and since then has worked in the Hamptons, Miami Beach, and Italy. In terms of pay, Sami does not reveal her salary but says that 'it varies from family to family and even the place where you will live makes a difference on the final pay.' She explains to users that she takes care of the children, especially in the morning, preparing meals and taking them to school. In the evening, her main task is to go out with the children hosting her and make sure they do their homework. Advice: For aspiring au pairs, Sami advises what to ask a host family before accepting an assignment: 'Ask them how many children they have, what age and gender they are' - then - 'Ask what they do for a living, if they have pets and if you are responsible for them'. Other questions that Sami thinks are worth asking are whether it is allowed to invite friends over and if your partner can visit you, especially if you have a long-distance relationship. Finally, regarding compensation, Sami advises to check what your salary will be and 'if there is a possibility of increasing it.'
