    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!

    Hi Lebo - really helpful video, thanks. A question please - My daughter is leavng for Florida to aupair next month for the first time. What would you suggest she uses to save money? Open a bank account / credit card in USA? Paypal? South African credit card? Sorry very new to all this.

    • @LeboneM
      @LeboneM  Місяць тому

      Greetings! Well it’s a bit complicated.
      1. In order to open a bank account, she will need a social security number which she can obtain once she arrives. The host family should be able to assist her to get that. With a social security number, she can open a bank account, apply for a driver’s license, get a credit card etc.. The only downside is she will have to pay taxes. Not a huge deal honestly, just 10% of her income.
      2. If she doesn’t want to opt for nr 1, she can save the money cash.
      But I recommend number 1. If she has an American bank account, she can save money by sending it to her South African bank account. It just depends on a lot of things.
      Hope that helps😊
