Most people in Taiwan — a charming island state in East Asia — have traditional values based on Confucian ethics. These values remain strong, including piety toward parents, ancestor worship, a strong emphasis on education and work. You can expect your Taiwanese au pair to be very respectful and to want to be a part of your family. Reserved at first, your au pair will love to bond with your children and will probably have no issues picking up on your family’s routine.
EurAupair has been pairing host families and au pairs for over 30 years, and we're confident that you'll love your experience with one of our Taiwanese au pairs. Learning about the rich and unique Taiwanese culture from a live-in au pair is a highly rewarding and flexible option for your children's care.
General Facts About Taiwan
Hosting an au pair gives you and your children the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn more about her unique culture and customs. When you host an au pair from Taiwan, you'll learn fascinating facts about the country, including that:
- Over 23 million people live in Taiwan, making it the 17th most densely populated area in the world.
- Almost three million people live in the bustling capital city of Taipei.
- Mandarin is the country's official language, but other languages include English, Japanese and Vietnamese.
- The Taiwanese place a high emphasis on commitment and harmony.
Family Life and Children in Taiwan
Most couples in Taiwan will have one to two children. Grandparents may be living together with their children and grandchildren. Your Taiwanese au pair will most likely have experience caring for nephews or nieces, or by doing internships or trainings at school. Education is very important so you can expect your Taiwanese au pair to be good at helping with homework, teaching to count, etc.
The Taiwanese highly value honor and respect toward their elders, and multigenerational homes are common throughout the country. Most Taiwanese au pairs will treat you and any other adult relatives living in your home with the utmost care and respect. They might offer you their seat or wait for you before they begin eating.
Education
Public education is mandatory in Taiwan from nursery school to junior high. Students can further their education through high school and university after taking a series of national exams.The majority of Taiwanese high school graduates will further their studies, although they may continue to live at home until they graduate. Even so, they will typically participate in household chores from an early age and be quite independent.
Those who graduate with a Taiwanese education achieve some of the highest scores in the world, particularly excelling in math and science. The literacy rate is also extraordinarily high, at over 98 percent. Memorization is valued throughout schools in Taiwan, so you may find that your au pair is particularly good at memorizing your instructions.
English Language Skills and Communication
English is a compulsory subject taught in schools from Grade 3 and up. There has also been a huge growth of English immersion schools in the past decade, with teachers from English-speaking countries. Although speaking may be a little difficult at first, you can expect your Taiwanese au pair to be very eager to speak and improve!
The Taiwanese often prefer an indirect style of communication. Rather than asking questions that require a direct yes or no, ask open-ended questions to your au pair to allow them to contemplate answers. She may also often communicate non-verbally with gestures such as waving the palm back and forth to indicate a negative response.
Driving Skills
A driver’s license can be obtained at 18 years old, after taking a written and practical exam. Many people will own a scooter driver’s license which is a popular means of transportation. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with your au pair during the interviewing process.
Religion
The three major religions in the country are Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Religious beliefs are diverse and incorporate aspects of traditional Chinese culture. Many behaviors and beliefs, such as deep respect for elders, stem from these religious concepts.
Diet
Pork, chicken and seafood are popular meat options, but your Taiwanese au pair may eat a primarily vegetarian diet due to the country's Buddhist influence. Rice and soy are both staples of a Taiwanese diet, and many drink tea or coffee throughout the day.

I would like to be an Au Pair because I want to interact and get to know American culture and I can do what I like the most, which is to accompany the children in their discovery through life, study and travel. I believe are of great importance the way of acting with children in addition to being that person with whom they feel safe to be able to express themselves and at the same time we with them to be that guide and companion so that they discover and develop in total communion with themselves and with the environment that surrounds them. I think I have these skills because I have worked with children for a long time and also because of my career I think I can provide strengths for the child's daily life. I am a person who adapts easily and learns quickly. It also makes it easier for me to create a bond with children and I am assertive when it comes to resolving conflicts.

I really like spending my time with children because that way you can be authentic all the time, I know that I can be myself, I love learning from them and that they learn from me. One of the things I like to do with them the most is to explore their creativity, since children have a beautiful mind, I think it's what I like most about them, I enjoy seeing how far they are able to go by developing their personality. That's why I would like to be an AuPair, because I think it's a very gentle program to get to know the world and develop myself in the things I like to do the most. It is a challenge for me to push myself to change my environment completely, but I consider myself to be resilient and adaptable to achieve it. I hope that this opportunity will allow me to improve my level of English and adapt as best as possible to a new family.

I want to be an au pair because I believe it is a unique opportunity to get to know the world, learn English better and discover realities completely different from my own, because what better way to do that than to live with a local family for a whole year? I define myself as a calm and quiet person, in fact I prefer to stay home in the evening for example, rather than going out to party. I'm a very patient type of person, it's really hard to make me angry, the only thing I don't tolerate is disrespect and people who don’t take things seriously. I am a very serious, responsible and reliable girl, I never leave things halfway and if I give my word on something, I always respect it. Also, I'm a creative type: I love to do crafts with glue, scissors, colors and more; in addition, I also love to create new stories and act them out!
