An au pair for the super-rich has opened up about some of the perks of the job, including flying around in private jets, holidaying on superyachts and not paying for food or accommodation.

Sami Jean, 24, originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, has been an au pair for just over two years and in an effort to help others follow in her footsteps, she regularly shares insights on TikTok, where she has more than 33,000 followers.

In one clip, she reveals how she was originally hired by a family to live in New York after graduating through an agency called Scotia Personnel, and has since worked in the Hamptons, Miami Beach and in Italy.

As for salary, Sami doesn’t reveal her salary, but she says it varies from family to family and location also helps “determine how much you get paid.”

Photos posted to Instagram show the Canadian enjoying her time at work, with one photo showing her posing at the bow of a yacht in the Hamptons, while another post captured her eating and drinking in Paris.

On TikTok, Sami can be seen casually boarding a private jet in one clip owned by her host family and another clip shows her enjoying the surroundings of a yacht with the overlapping caption: ‘POV: You are a nanny for a family with a yacht.’

In one video, Sami’s friend Alexa, who also works as an au pair for wealthy clients, shows what an average day looks like.

She tells viewers, “So here in America I do childcare and help with the kids in the morning…making them breakfast, getting them ready for school.”

During the day, Alexa says she “drives a lot,” taking the kids to “activities and stuff.”

In the evenings, her main job is to hang out with her host children and make sure they do their homework.

Alexa, who, like Sami, also worked as an au pair in Italy, says that her workload was lighter there because she did not have to get the children ready for school.

Instead, her main job was to “just help them with their homework and talk to them in English” [the parents] wanted the children to learn English and speak English with a very good accent.’

Sami emphasizes that the most important role of an au pair is to ‘entertain’ children.

For aspiring au pairs, she outlines some things to ask a host family before accepting a job.

She tells her fans: ‘Ask them how many children they have, what ages they are and what gender they are.

‘Ask what they do for a living if they have pets and are you responsible for that? [for them].’

After questioning a potential employer about the situation involving children and pets, Sami says it’s important to determine what your living situation will be like and what a typical day entails.

She continues, “And then, to be honest, I would dive into vacations. Do they take you on holiday? If they take you, will you get paid extra?’

Other things Sami says are worth finding out are whether you can have friends over and whether your partner can come visit, especially if you’re in a long-distance relationship.

Finally, regarding pay, Sami recommends finding out what your salary will be and “if there are opportunities to increase it.”

In terms of experience, the au pair says that you generally only need “three references from childcare experience,” which can include “sole babysitting.”

Although Sami admits that she has been lucky with the families she has been paired with, she reveals that some hosts treat au pairs like “slaves.”

One of her followers also suggested that it’s not always as glamorous as it seems.

They wrote: ‘You are lucky to have a good family. My mother did this and it was not a good experience at all.”

However, Sami seems very satisfied with her career choice so far.

She concludes: ‘Believe me, if you are willing to put yourself out there, au pairing will expand your network enormously and the best part is that you will end the experience with friends all over the world.’
