DD is from Istanbul, Turkey and she's a bakery chef in hotels back home. In 2020, she came to the U.S. as an Au-Pair babysitter right before the pandemic started. She worked for three families in three states within the span of two years on a J-1 visa. She talks about her working experiences and some tips and perks as an international au-pair employee. Too bad that I put the mic a bit too far from me so my sound wasn't very clear but DD's more important. XD
