Getting to Know Your Au Pair From Germany
A German au pair will enjoy being part of a host family’s life, sharing family activities and making memories together. It is very important in the German culture to be on time; therefore German au pairs are known for being quite punctual. They appreciate clear guidelines and a schedule listing their daily responsibilities. If any issues or concerns arise you can expect your German au pair to communicate them to you directly; and in return to appreciate honest feedback from you.
Today's German family has on average one or two children. Even though families are not as large as they used to, it is at the center of one's life and family time is made a priority over some other social commitments. Spending time with immediate and extended family on weekends and during major holidays is very common. Your German live-in nanny will enjoy meeting all members of your family and spending traditional get-togethers with them.
Most young people in Germany finish high school or the equivalent between 16 to 18 years of age. Many then pursue post-secondary studies in larger cities and move away from home to live in their own apartment or share a place with roommates. Therefore, you can expect your German au pair to be quite independent when it comes to household chores, preparing meals and keeping the house tidy.
A live-in au pair from Germany will typically have experience babysitting the children of neighbors, friends and relatives. Many au pairs acquire additional experience by completing internships at a local kindergarten or day care center. Quite a few German au pairs qualify as our Par Expérience au pairs: they may be a kindergarten or elementary school teacher or have a degree in social studies.
In Germany, the minimum age to obtain a driver’s license is 17; but one needs to be accompanied by a parent in the car up to 18 years old. It is fairly difficult to pass the written and practical exam, even after having finished driving school and having acquired many hours of driving experience. Most European driver's licenses, including German driver's licenses, are usually harder to obtain than in the United States. Especially in more rural areas, it is very common for young people to have their own car and drive daily to school, the gym or other activities. They should most likely be used to driving in challenging weather conditions, e.g. snow, ice and heavy rain. Of course, it is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs when interviewing au pairs.
Students at German schools are required to learn at least two foreign languages, one of them being English. Most German au pairs have been studying English since 5th grade, so their speaking and writing skills can on average be rated as very good to excellent. Generally, they will feel comfortable communicating in English when arriving to their host family.

I want to become an au pair because I really enjoy working with children and after graduation I wanted to challenge myself and improve my English skills to improve myself. I also find it very useful to become an au pair. A characteristic that distinguish myself is my calmness when dealing with situations that do not work out the first time. I am also very reliable and outgoing.

I would like to be an au pair because I like to work with children. Working with children fills me up. I also want to gain experience and continue my education. Travelling to America and working with children has always been my dream and I also want to improve my English. Meeting new people and getting a second family would make me very happy and I think it would be a good choice because I'm a good communicator, friendly, honest, and I love to work with children.

Comments
I would like to become an au pair because children make me happy and I love them. It was the first thing that came to my mind after school. I would say that my strengths are reliability, independence, and honesty. I really do love kids; I like to take care of them, play with them educate them, and in return get their affection. I think the au pair job is the best opportunity to learn everything about an American family and know an American life because you are a part of the family and are integrated in every step of their life.

Additionally, from February 2015 to 2017, I was in charge of a group of kids, ages 6 to 10, for karate training.

I think I would be a good au pair because I love kids of every age. I have so much fun with kids and they make a bad day to a better day. Kids are so wonderful and I wish you will take me as your au pair. I'm helpful, love to learn new things, and I really want to improve my English.

Comments
I want to be an Au Pair because I love taking care of children. Because of my creative personality I often plan new activities and crafts for children. I really enjoy going to the Zoo or baking together with children and to teach them new things. I would describe myself as a positive and lovely caring person. I worked in different places and got experience with different cultures and conditions, this and because of my flexibility I can handle new situations easily and stay calm and find a solution for stressful challenges.
