How to film a 1-minute au pair / sitter intro video

Script and tips for a clear, friendly intro video that unlocks job applications on AuPairly — what hosts want to hear in 60–90 seconds.

Name, city, years of experience, services (childcare, tutoring, pets), and what you’re looking for. Smile and speak clearly.

Mention first aid, driving, or languages if relevant. End with when you can start.

Open Trust → record in the browser or upload MP4/WebM. Confirm the video is at least one minute so you can send application packets.
