Astonishing natural heritage of lakes and mountains, extraordinary train system, watches, non-interference policy, multi-language country, delicious cheese, and chocolate — Switzerland is famous for many things. When looking for a culturally enriching experience for your children, you should consider a Swiss au pair. Your children will enjoy hearing a new language from their live-in nanny while also learning about new things.
The wisdom of using live-in child care from Switzerland is that you benefit in many ways beyond simply finding a caregiver. Your entire family will learn more about the Swiss culture from in many ways:
- Your children can learn about Swiss traditions and experience them first-hand (such as making cheese topped meal every day!);
- Your children can be exposed to a new language as your au pair can read them stories in French, German or Italian as she usually speaks at least two languages of her country;
- Your family can ask questions and hear from a native how growing up and living in Switzerland really is.
When you use EurAupair to host an au pair from Switzerland, you can feel secure you’re getting the best possible match for your family’s needs. We have been connecting au pairs from Europe, South America, and Africa with American families for three decades, and we know how to find a fit that’s right for everyone.
Getting to Know Your Au Pair From Switzerland
The Swiss culture is a mix of Northern and Southern Europe. A live-in nanny from Switzerland may be more punctual than a Spanish au pair for example, but will be more flexible on schedule than say a German au pair. Typically, Swiss au pairs will be able to communicate any issues or concerns and will enjoy participating in the family life.
Swiss people have rather strong family values and will typically gather every evening as a family for dinner and meet for hours-long meals with near-by relatives on weekends and holidays. You can usually expect your Swiss au pair to enjoy cooking and to participate in your family dinners and get-togethers.
Swiss children will usually leave home at around 18 years old to pursue post-secondary studies in larger cities. They will get their own apartment and become independent at quite an early age.
Swiss au pairs will usually have experience in doing private baby-sitting.
The Swiss’s driver’s exam (written and practical) is very challenging. The driver’s license can only be obtained at 18 years old. Dozens of hours of actual driving experience is required to obtain a license. Public transportation is well developed in large cities but young adults outside of the main cities will most likely own a car and drive regularly. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with your au pair.
Swiss students are required to learn two foreign languages (starting in middle school) and English must be one of the two.
Host a Swiss Au Pair
Educate your children about a different culture by finding a live-in Swiss nanny. Participate in an exchange experience that will enrich your family’s life by helping you learn more about Switzerland and the rest of the world.

I have always wanted to be an Au Pair in the U.S.A, because I think is a beautiful experience, first of all to learn, and to explore other culture and other country, secondly for share time with children, and to learn as much as you can about them. also I think is a great opportunity to have a good job, as a babysitter is, and a good lifestyle. To finish I can say that become an Au Pair would be amazing.

I want to broaden my international horizons, improve my oral English, communicate with many international friends, and enhance my self-confidence and independence. There are three reasons why I think you can consider me. First, I’m getting well with children and playing with them. I am an emotionally stable and outgoing person. I’m super friendly, and always try to help others when they fall behind. Second, I can provide point of uniqueness. I come from China, China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. I can teach them Chinese culture, tell them the Chinese history and teach them the unique paper-cutting art of China. Additionally, during my university, I took a course in Western mythology, which means I can tell children stories about Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, etc.

I want to participle in the au pair program for many reasons. To get to know a different culture, to know new people and places. To improve my English. To learn how to be on my own in a different place from where I was born. To grow as a person. Some of my strengths can be, my energy, the knowledge about treating with children, from a caring and dynamic way, meaning I can relate with them, not even in a professional way, but as a human one, which I think, is the most important. I also feel comfortable around them, and would like to think I have nice and polite ways to communicate things and ideas. On the other hand, being able to put boundaries, in any sense, I think it´s a really important quality to have in every aspect of your life, and I work for that on myself all the time, in order to relate with others in a healthy way and vice versa.

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!

The experience I have had with the children has been so enriching and beautiful, it made me realize I love spending time with them, play with them, help them in everything they need, teach them and also learn from them try to understand the way they see the world and the life is gorgeous, also know their ideas and how they can be so imaginative and creative is amazing. Being next to them while they grow make me feel so proud because I can see what they learn every day. I know it is an excellent opportunity to have a cultural interchange knowing new things about USA, knowing new places, new people while I practice my English, being part of a family and know how the things are in an American family environment and also teaching the family about my Colombian culture, I know that it is an experience that will make me grow in all areas of my life.

I really like the idea of being like a "big sister" to them and being part of the family.

I decided to become an Au Pair, because I enjoy spending time with children and I am able to ensure their well-being. Their emotional, physical and mental health are the most important to me. I really love when children learn quickly and teach us, for this reason, I enjoy doing creative and educational activities. One of my dreams is to come close with kids for a year and ensure they feel cherished and secure with my presence and see how they will grow up with all the things I will teach them. One additional reason for me to be abroad is to have the opportunity of learning about a different culture, and to have the chance of improving my English skills. It would be amazing to know how is the snow and build a snowman! It was my childhood dream, besides I'd love to visit different iconic places in the USA.
