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 au pair 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 and their au pair contract.
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 job in Germany. 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 for personalized assistance.
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 with a driving license. 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 am first aid certified. I love children and I like being in a family. I think it is nice to go out with children and experience new things with them. I am happy when they have fun. I really would like to get to know the American culture intensively, speak the English language and get to know new people and especially children and their everyday life. This Au-pair stay is a challenge for me to become self-employed and definitely a great new experience for me. I can take good responsibility and I am reliable.

Of course I also did things like helping them eat, changing their clothes or diapers etc. In May 2019 I worked in a school caring for children from 6 to 10 years old.

** Will take her driver licence's test in February 2020*** I want to become an Au Pair because I love children. I like taking care of them, playing with them, just seeing them happy and being able to see them grow up. I really want to be able to grow as a person during this year because you never stop learning from new experiences. My English is already pretty good and I think that is a strength of mine because I’m able to really communicate with everyone. I’ve already participated in an exchange program before so I think I can deal with homesickness a bit better than people who have never been away from home.

I want to become an au pair because I love children and want to see how the culture and life in the USA is. I am a very mature person for my age but I have always been in a good mood and you can have a lot of fun with me. I really hope this letter helps to get to know me. I take care of kids for a long time and I still love it. It is my dream to see another culture and see how they live. Being an au pair would be a great honor and an incredible experience for me. I am well suited because I am a really responsible and honest person. To teach and help kids in their development makes me happy and thankful.

I am first aid certified. I have been dreaming of doing a year abroad after finishing school. The best way of combining my dream of being abroad and my passion, spending time with children is to be an AuPair.Furthermore, this would be a great way to improve my inner strength and to get out of my comfort zone and to gain memories I will never forget. As a responsible, helpful, open-minded, reliable, patient and optimistic young woman, I would like to become your AuPair. I want to have a positive influence on the children, entertain them and at the same time help them to discover their personality.

Comments
I am first aid certified. There are several reasons why I want to become an Au Pair. First of all, I really like children and I think, they can even teach us things, like using our imagination and finding creativity again which we may have lost over the years. I love them because they represent all the innocence which we lost growing up and I love seeing how they develop and learn new things every day. They are just so full of life. Furthermore, I want to improve my English skills, meet new people and I’m sure, one year, maybe two years far away from home will let me grow more as a person.
Child Care Experience
Since 2015, I've cared for multiple children ages 5 to 13 years old. I usually prepared meals and snacks, helped with homework, played with them and drove them where needed. I've been a dance teacher since July 2019 teaching a group of children ages 12 to 18 years. I did an internship at a primary school working with children ages 6 to 9 years old.

Through my different experiences with children, I decided to become an au pair, because I had so much fun teaching them new things or just playing games with them. I would also like to learn more about American culture and tradition and meet new people. I would say I am an ambitious, caring and reliable person. I am also open to new challenges and working with children would definitely be a great experience. I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids.
Child Care Experience
**I am willing to care for children 1 year and older.** Since August 2019 I've been working at a mother & child clinic taking care of groups of children ages 9 months to 3 years old, 3 to 5 years old, 5 to 7 years old and 7 to 16 years old. My responsibilities depend on their age, I do treasure hunts and longer trips to the beach with the older kids. I also tinker a lot with them and I help some of them with their homework. I play a lot with younger children, we eat breakfast together, I change their diapers, potty train them, we tinker and I help them to get dress when we go outside. Between February-June 2019 I took care of Jan (11) on weekends, tutoring him and preparing meals for him.

I have experience in caring for children with special needs. I am first aid certified. I want to become an au pair exchange program participant in the USA because I think a year abroad is a great way to meet other people and it is a unique chance to improve my English skills. I was always interested in experience the American culture and I like the idea to connect this with taking care of children. Till now I only took care of kids for a few weeks or months and I am already excited to watch the kids in my host family grow and to have at least a little hand in their upbringing. I am very qualified for the EurAupair program because I have many hours of experience with kids of different ages and I am also very independent and social which is pretty helpful in a different country far away from home.

I am first aid certified. I want to become your au pair because I enjoy working with children and it makes me happy when children laugh when they are proud of something and show it to you or just spend time with them. I also want to improve my English skills and get to know the culture in the United States better.
