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 think I am qualified as an au pair because I can interact very well with children and I am friendly, responsible, and open-minded.

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.
Child Care Experience
I worked at a kindergarten with children ages 2 to 5 years old for 35 hours a week from July to August 2018. This included soling various problems that arose, doing crafts with them, changing their diapers, reading stories to them, and caring for the children. For one week in September 2017, I worked in a classroom at a primary school with children ages 6 to 10 years old. Here, I helped the children with their homework, supported their learning, and offered them various activities. Since May 2016, I have babysat Anni (5) once a month and still currently do. I prepare meals for her, take her on play dates, and put her to bed. Finally, I have watched my brother Henri (14) since he was little from 2010 to 2017, twice a month, for about 5 hours. I typically play with him, would help him with his homework, read stories to him, and make him dinner.

Comments
I want to become an au pair because I am a person who loves to work with children and who performs this work with great dedication, commitment, and ambition. I have a good combination of work experiences with children so it would be no problem for me to help the children to reach their full potential. I would like to be a part of my host family and it would be lovely if the children accept me not only as an au pair, but also as a big sister and friend. I am an active and creative person who is always motivated and helpful. I am patient and cordial in all situations and am also first aid certified. Two of my strengths are that I am open-minded and very adaptable, which is another reason why I would be a good au pair: I can accustom myself very fast in new situations. Furthermore, I want to improve my English skills, get to know a new culture, and gain life experience.
