I applaud you! You're strategic and incredibly smart!💫
Your Experience is truly eye opening and very Inspirational
As for the working and studying!🎊 I'm inspired
Woaaaaaah!!! So glad I found this video at this time because I’ve been au pairing for two years and the countries I’ve been don’t allow me to build a career life after being an au pair
What county you in
@@nurse_bellinda currently Belgium
+254
I did aupair in America. Married now 2 kids 10yrs later.
Wow that is amazing.. congratulations 👏🏾
Wowwww that’s amazing I just applied
Which agency did you use?
So glad I found this video! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Hi Belinda please please expand more about the process of work and study .. my younger sister is considering au pairing
Hey Belinda, very informative video. I also have my sights on au-pairing in the UK. So you didn't go through an agency you just applied on Aupairworld? I heard going down that route is risky as there's no guaranteed safety
Yeah I just applied through the aupairworld website. I felt safe I had no issues regarding safety.
Thank you so much for this
I wanted to ask you more questions about this experience.
Love it🥰so informative
Hi Belinda. I loved your video. Quick question, how did you manage to get a long stay visa. Apparently it is really difficult and it can take up to 4 months for the long stay visa to be issued. Please advise.
I applied for a student visa
Hey Belinda! Thank you for this video. I want to Au pair in the UK and have already gotten a few interests. I want to know how the visa process works please!
@@nurse_bellinda Must one go to school to become one or should one just apply
No you don’t have to go to school
@@nurse_bellinda Okay. Thank you ♥
Hie. About the visa. Do you get like an au pair visa? Like specifically for au pair. When you are done with your contract, can you easily switch and do something else. Like work in another field, go to scho and things like that? Like are there hassles ?
There is no Aupair visa guy can use student visa
Nurse Bellinda I am so thankful for all your information. I am from Namibia and have a grade 11 certificate on new curriculum is excess to college, my question is can I still have a chance on this? Thank you so much
If you asking about Aupairing yes you do
Hello belinder I got two host from Uk they've sent me documents and one of the documents state I should pay insurance lincence
You can send them via Instagram
You went on my birthday ♥️😊🔥🔥🔥😂
Thanks a lot girl❤
hello belinda I'm thinking of applying for au pair this year november as it's my matric year i'd love to know when applying on the aupairworld website do I apply for college and university on a different site like UCAS or does the aupairworld offer that page I would really love for you to take me through on how you not only applied for au pairing but college as well as i do want to build a career in the uk after au pairing. Thank you.
UCAS and Aupairworld are two different websites.. Aupair has nothing to do with UCAS. You have to apply for student visa.. I applied to a student visa when I knew the university accepted me with my matric certificate
Hey, I'd like to enquirie about the student visa. Do I need to apply for a course in the UK or I can just get the visa?
If so could you please kindly share some courses and websites. Thank you.
I’m not in the UK anymore, so I’m not too familiar at the minute about any changes regarding the visas. I came in as a international student so I came in on a student visa
WOW they were using you same as me ! I also made video how they treated me because when I was watching aupair stories they all were nice and their loved it LOOOOL I was changing families all the time never had good one!!!
I only ever had one family
@@nurse_bellinda lucky i had like 6 and all of them were mental
Thank you i am only in the process of applying .....
For when?
@@ApheNtsenge I want to go by next year but m still applying
Hello. I had multiple families contacting me from the UK but reading the visa requirements for au pairing in UK, from UK.GOV got me confused. Its as if there is no direct au pair visa, so they say to get skilled worker visa tier 5 which l found to be veeery complicated. But some websites say tier 5 or student visa is need. l ended up giving up on au pairing in UK. But l would really love to. Please l would like to know, if am from an African country, which visa do l apply for to be an au pair in the UK? How much money is needed to be in my account during my application? Because the skilled worker visa wants you to have like 3,000£ which is millions in my currency😪
They do not have a specific visa for Aupair in. The uk anymore you can apply for student visa if you gained admission to any uk university or college and use that visa to work as an aupair. On the side
Thank you for the informative video.
How do you text families to tell them you're interested?
Message them on Aupair website. I created another video on my channel I believe I showed the steps in that video
Hello Belinda, please how can one come into the UK as an aupair from kenya. I found my desired au pair but from kenya it's my first experience at hosting an aupair and its her first experience as well. So we don't know how to go about this? Can you guide me through the process?
I have another video on how to go about it. Watch that video as I explain the step for step process
@@nurse_bellinda I did already. In that one, you came in as a student right. I'm asking for one who wants to come but not as a student. What are the options. Please. Thank you. I also sent you a mail
I don’t know how you will go about that especially coming from Africa because of the visa options available
Hey Belinda which country pays au pairs better between uk and America?
It all depends on the host however, I would definitely say USA
Thank you for sharing
How did you get a job? How did you get a work permit? What if you have a qualification already? Please tell us more. Steps please.
I didn’t go with work permit I applied as an international student and got student visa thereafter I got to work. It depends if you got a nursing qualification then you can apply straight away but they don’t accept all qualification if there is no demand for the job
Hey thanks for this video. I really appreciate the information. You got a new subbie.
I am hoping to get into the UK with this route. The long goal is to be a child protection social worker, I am in my final year now. Do you think that's a good idea?
To get recruited as a social worker that side, I need 3 years experience😣
Do you want to study this side or study that side and come here
@@nurse_bellinda I'm in a similar situation, I'm in my 3rd of my education degree, but I wanna apply for this aupair thing, will I be able to complete my studies that side..?
Are you allowed to "only apply for other jobs' while being an au pair in the uk
Thank you for the video
If you can and then leave your host
Which Visa did you apply for dear?
I love the information alot.
I got a family in London they sent me the contract but i don't know which Visa i should apply for since there is no specific Au pair visa.
Please help
Student visa
Is it a must i be enrolled into a college or university?
I applied to a college and did a course a year later I went to university
That’s how I did it, that’s why I only did Aupair for five months
Okayyy thank you so much
Hey Belinda I would love to know if one can go to school in the uk and still work as an au pair. Do I apply for a visa while in South Africa or in the uk... as I'm still in high school
Yes you can if you discuss that with your host it is possible..you have to apply before you go
Hi how do you I make a au pair profile I really don't know how please help me
You can just create a profile on Aupair world follow the link in the description box
Hello, Nurse Belinda. Thanks for the inspirational and informative video. Please I need a clarification, I registered as an Aupair on Aupair world and a couple of families has shown interest. The UK based family that am looking forward to working with connected me to an agency company in the UK. I was sent the requirements which part of it is that I have to transfer 1500gbp through western union to show that am capable of taking care of myself in the UK before getting my first salary from my employer. Please, is this a new method? Am really confused.
Yeah it is a new method
Do research on the agency that you have to send money to
I remember I carried cash with me £1000 minimum
Thank you so much, beautiful. I appreciate.
Who
Oh my gosh I like you so much!! I am about to have my first video call today. They way to were motivated and was going to find a way out gave me hope. I am Zimbabwean but truly grew up in the States and l thought maybe finding a black family would make me comfortable. My all goal is to never live in America again (Sorry l didn't choose the states l was 11yrs old).
Hey Belinda! I'm a graduate and have have a full time job but because I want to broaden up my horizons I'm considering au pairing or studying abroad. Do you mind advising or taking me through which websites I can use in order to help apply for scholarships in the UK? Do you know any possible exchange programs that I can look into except for au pairing? Most probably the ones most students or immigrants likely sign up for? Sorry to bombard you with TMI!
THANKS!❤🌹
I don’t know nothing about scholarships to be honest, I paid my own tuition fees for university. I didn’t go through that route so I wouldn’t know how to go about it. SORRY
@@nurse_bellinda Not a problem I understand! Just recalled that you actually mentioned that in the video, I'll do my proper research. So would you say if i choose to au pair for about 2 years max, with that certain amount of money ill be earning is it safe to say I can also manage to pay for my university fees? The plan is to save money ofcourse
I would of said so in the past however, now since England has left the EU uni fees have increased from £9250 (R 190000) to £14500 (R300000) per year. So if you going to work as Aupair with a monthly income of £300 ( R6000) it’s not even enough unless you get another job but to do that you will need visa and a graduate jobs because England has closed borders for people to come in and work last year 2020 December unless you are a SKILLED WORKER (graduate) but just do your research
@@nurse_bellinda Oh yes that too, was definitely considering finding work afterwards.I can't thank you enough Belinda this was very informative! I thank you in all kinds of ways!🙏 May you flourish and prosper in all that you do! ❤❤ Continue making us proud!🌹
Please I need an Au pair in the UK
Good day. To get in the nursing school how qualification( points) did you need or any type of qualification?
Yeah , so I had to go to college in the UK for one year to do biology with a diploma in nursing to become a health care assistant (enrolled nurse) so I did that for one year, before going to university to study for Bsc honours nursing.. however, in order to study in college you have to get 70% in English and mathematics (matric certificate) if you didn’t get that you will have to do one year of English , mathematics and biology and then another year of diploma in nursing and the only you get to go to university to become a registered nurse
Hey i am in the process and I would like to ask you some questions,.where can I reach you?
Instagram
Hi Belinda I got a text from au pair number on WhatsApp read as follows "Good morning, not at all this is a messaging platform with me - families will not be able to view your application until everything is complete, uploaded and you have been interviewed"
And they mentioned I can't be assisted with travelling fees didn't you mention on your video that the hosts help with flight payments visa etc?
Yes, they do however, it depends on the host if they offer to pay for your flight and visa. It is all dependent on host and also it sounds to me that you used agency
Yeah I got that response from au-pair America then I also used your link on the description box damn I'm getting a lot of declines🥵💔
So with agencies I have to pay for my self?
Oh really? So sorry to hear that. I have never heard of Aupair America. Is your plans to go and do Aupair in America? What’s the reason for you getting declined? Also applying for Aupair through agency you won’t be able to communicate with the host until you actually passed all stages and because of that you will obviously have to pay for all costs yourself
Yeah you have to bear all the cost yourself
Is there anything like an aupair declaration form in the uk
Yeah there is some Aupair agency uses that
Thank you so much
How to apply for the students visa
You have to apply to a university and then apply for student visa once approved
So if the family offers to pay for your flight ticket, you owe them ??
Yes you do
@@nurse_bellinda I had absolutely no idea
And do they take what you owe them from your salary?
Yes they will deduct it from your salary
@@nurse_bellinda ahhh okay. Thank you 🙏🏽
I loved your video btw very informative and honest . Great work,keep it up and looking forward for more of your guidance 💞
Thank you
Did you write an IELTS test that time??
No I didn’t

Hey Belinda can a South African Au pair in the UK 2021?
Yeah you can if you come through a student visa
@@nurse_bellinda so basically my host have to apply for me and is it a must please make me understand.♥️😊
@@nurse_bellinda is it a must for me to study ?
No you have to apply yourself as an international student and actually get accepted into a university in the uk then you will get a student visa thereafter, you can come to the uk as an international student and work as an Aupair on the side until you get a place
I know at the moment that’s the only way you can come to the uk as an aupair because of Brexit
Very informative
Hi dear I've signed with au pair world. May I ask after getting a match how do you go on with Visa applications?
The host family sorted out my visa application for me

Please did your host family paid for your visa ?
Nope I paid myself
Do you have Instagram, I would like use to chat privately thanks
Nurse_bellinda
Can you can look for a job with an aupair visa
Nope
@@nurse_bellinda and how can you still stay in the UK when your visa expires
You apply for a student visa
Can I get contact to you so I can share the documents
What visa did you initially apply for?
Student visa
Thank you so much
So a student visa allows you to work? Or did you have to renew another visa to work?
Yes you can work
For a maximu of 20 hours per week
Is this site safe?
Yes it is I used aupairworld
Hey Belinda, I'm also about to become an Au pair.. When you said there are jobs opportunities in England, do you mind giving examples??
Care home jobs, you work as a care worker.
@@nurse_bellinda do they pay more than Au pairs? Also when I'm done au pairing and I decide I want to care work, is it easy to apply for?
Yeah they starting salary is £1200 per month Aupair is not really a salary because all bills are included so you can only get £280-£500 per month depending upon on how many children you look after as well as were you will be located for example if you will be living in central London you will get more money,then outside London because cost of living is higher therefore people earn more money living there
It is very easy to apply if you have the correct documents in place
