Finland
Finns are usually described as reserved, quiet and introverted. But wait until you get to know them: you will find them warm, sincere, and hospitable with a great sense of humor! People from Finland are very punctual and appreciate other people being the same.

Finns are usually described as reserved, quiet and introverted. But wait until you get to know them: you will find them warm, sincere, and hospitable with a great sense of humor! People from Finland are very punctual and appreciate other people being the same. They value honest and open communication, so your Finnish au pair will be comfortable discussing any issues or concerns directly with you.
Most Finnish parents work full time, but spend a lot of time in the evenings and on weekends with their children, taking them to different hobbies and helping with homework. Since both parents work outside the home, children learn to become independent at an early stage which means you can expect your au pair from Finland to be used to doing household chores, preparing meals, etc. Families have on average 2-3 children, so your Finnish au pair will most likely have siblings.
In Finland, parents have access to free daycare for children age eight months to five years, so you can expect your au pair to have child care experience through working at a day care center or kindergarten, in addition to babysitting her neighbor’s children, cousins or younger siblings. Some au pairs from Finland might also have experience as a camp counselor during holiday or church camps.
In order to obtain your driver’s license in Finland, one needs to have acquired a minimum amount of instructed driving in addition to theory lessons. After passing a theoretical and driving exam, people of at least 18 years of age will be allowed to drive. Of course, your Finnish au pair will also be used to driving in challenging weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow or hail. Of course, it is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs when interviewing au pairs.
The Finnish school system is renowned for its high academic standards and results. With English being a mandatory subject starting at elementary school, Finns usually have very good English skills; in fact they are amongst the best English speakers in Europe. Your Finnish au pair might also be able to speak Swedish fluently, as it is the second official language in Finland.

Child Care Experience
I babysat Ella (8) and Kalle (10) from July to August 2017. I played with them and prepared meals. I babysat Enni (2), Elmeri (7) and Ella (10). I took care of Enni for most of the time, I played with the children, prepared meals and fed them, put the children to bed and changed diapers. I have taken care of my two younger siblings since they were born. I did all childcare related duties. I worked at a daycare center for one week where I looked after a group of 10 children between the ages of 3 and 5. I played with them, put them down for naps and fed them.

Comments
I want to become an au pair in the USA because I think the country is really interesting and I have wanted to go there for a long time already. I like children and I think I would be good as an au pair, because I like playing with the kids and I feel that I get along with them well. I would like to spend that year getting to know USA, spending time with the children and the host family, and learning new about everything. I think my strengths are that I am kind and very open-minded person.
Child Care Experience
I've taken care of my siblings Elin and Mick (now 14 and 12 years old) since 2010 several times a week. I prepare meals, drive them to and from school and activities and do all general childcare related duties. I've also taken care of my cousins (now 10, 8, 7 and 5) since 2010 occasionally. I spend time with them and play with them.
