Au pair reveals that the children of her super-rich family use HERMES paper to scribble on
EVERY parent wants the best start for their children and does everything they can to provide healthy meals, enough sleep and fun ways to explore the world around them.
An au par was shocked to discover how fun some extra-circular activities are while caring for two children in Paris.

Like many twenty-somethings, Rebecca Campos dreamed of living in the City of Love.
While the French capital is a world away from her native country Brazilthe young woman decided to apply for an exchange program abroad.
Unlike some programs that focus on study, this program offered her the opportunity to live in central Paris as long as she worked as a nanny for her host family.
Although she quickly adapted to the culture and work life, there was one thing Rebeca did not expect: how luxuriously these children lived.
While most kids are drawing on scrap paper, these little ones prefer patterned paper from the luxury brand Hermes (yes, you read that right).
She even filmed them playing on the floor, happily coloring in the famous monogrammed ‘H’, before turning it over to reveal the iconic horse and carriage logo.
With Hermes wallpaper costing around £455 for a 10 meter roll, the au par was more than a little shocked by the after-school activities and even joked in the caption that it was ‘very basic’.
Unsurprisingly, her video has gone viral on Tiktok, leaving over 2.5 million viewers similarly amazed.
“I’m dead,” one stunned Tikok user wrote, while another added: “But of course!! What else would they use? Printing paper?”
“This is an absolute waste money,” a third complained, with many suggesting the children were “probably fake babies.”
Others had a more relaxed attitude to the toddlers’ playtime, with many claiming that monogrammed paper was a wallpaper sample given out for free at the luxury store.
“Just for your information, the wallpaper samples are free,” one fashionista explained as the number of opinions continued to grow.
Another revealed they had an equally luxurious childhood and admitted they used the designer’s accessories to dress up.
Trying to laugh off their lavish youth, they confessed, “When I was little, we used Hermes scarves as superhero capes.”
It seems these experiences are not that uncommon for au pairs, with several nannies recalling how out of place they felt in the affluent homes.
“I was an au pair in a rich city in the United States USA. The money some families had was RIDICULOUS,” revealed a former nanny who emigrated from Britain.
Despite the child dropping out of school, another au par revealed that the family she worked for dressed their children in designer clothes every day.
“Not my children who wear Loro Piana when they go out every day,” they groaned while talking about the fashion brand.
To which Rebeca replied with a laughing emoji and wrote: “I don’t even know what Loro Piana is.”
Since playtime is so plentiful, we wonder what this child’s birthday is like.
