Norway is a country in Scandinavia that borders Finland and Sweden. When you host an au pair from Norway, you and your children will have the opportunity to learn first-hand about a culture and place in the world that is different from your own. Just as importantly, your au pair will have the same opportunity! Norway has a rich history and your au pair will have a wonderful time sharing about it while she is a part of your family.
General Facts About Norway
Your Norweigan au pair will teach you many things that you might not know about Norway, such as:
- Norway's population is over 5.2 million.
- The country is home to the most fjords as part of its landscape than any other country.
- Norwegian is the official language, but almost every citizen also speaks English because it is taught as a second language in school.
- The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway's capital, and the recipients are chosen by a panel of native Norwegians.
Your au pair will tell you fascinating facts just like these and many more when you welcome her into your family.
Family Life and Children in Norway
The family is very important to the people of Norway. In fact, parental leave is a national institution. It allows parents to recover and bond with their children after their birth. Typically, Norwegians do not have more than two children. But even with a relatively small family unit on average, familial bonds are strong in Norway. Your Norwegian au pair will proudly demonstrate this dedication to family while caring for your children.
Driving Skills
You can't get a driver's license in Norway until you turn 18. And you have to get through a process before you're given your license. First, you have to take a four-day class about basic driving concepts, first aid, and how to react after an accident. Next, you have to pass a theory exam and then a practical exam. Even after you receive your license, you have to get through a two-year trial period where you could potentially lose your license and have to start the process again.
Education
School is mandatory for children between the ages of 6 and 16 in Norway. From 6 to 13, children are in elementary school and then move to lower secondary school from 13 to 16. After finishing lower secondary, children can continue on to upper secondary school for more general education and vocational courses. After two years in upper secondary, they go on to enter apprenticeships and learn new skills onsite.
Communication and Language Skills
The official language of Norway is Norwegian, but Bokmal, Nynorsk and Saami are also recognized. Many people in Norway also speak English and even another language, like German, French or Spanish.
Religion
The majority religion in Norway is Christianity, which makes up around 75% of the population. The next most common affiliation is those who are not affiliated with any specific faith, making up about 16% of the population.
Diet
Similar to many families in the United States, Norwegians eat three or four main meals during the day, with a hot meal with family at dinnertime being the main one. Traditional dishes include krumkake, lutefisk and farikal.

Comments
Because it is a great opportunity for me and my personal and professional development. I have high expectations for the program to make strong ties with the American family, friends and colleagues. Another personal goal is to save a little money to return to my country and start a business. Improve my level of English as it is necessary to complete the procedures for my university degree. My experience in taking care of children is very great since in my family I am the oldest sister and cousin. I have had 3 different jobs in childcare, 2 as a nanny and 1 as a science teacher. That, added to my self-discipline, independence and emotional management skills, are strengths that speak in my favor.

I want to be Au Pair because I love spending time with children, watching them grow into their own person and also giving them and their parents my help where it is needed, is also very rewarding for me. Not only do I get to meet new people and see new places through this new adventure, but the most important thing for me is of course that I can become a part of the family lives. I believe that I am a great candidate for this because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am a really calm, patient and friendly person, even in stressful situations. This will help me to even master difficult moments when the children are tired or do not want to listen to me which is important when it comes to good communication between the parents, kids and myself.

My previous childcare experiences, combined with a strong work ethic and adaptability, make me qualified for this program. My strengths include flexibility, creativity in developing activities for children, and a constant willingness to learn and improve. These qualities, I believe, make me an ideal candidate to enrich the life of a family in the United States while living a rewarding experience. I want to participate in the Au Pair exchange program in the US to immerse myself in American culture, improve my English, and gain valuable experience living with a local family.
