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.

Comments
I am first aid certified. I want to challenge myself and have more responsibility. I want to come home full of new experiences. I also want to learn new things about myself and hopefully to become a part of a second family. I think my biggest skill is that I always do my job seriously and highly motivated and I try hard to make other people feel comfortable. I love children. I love to see them smiling, their shining eyes, their happiness when they learn something new and their imagination. I like to see them growing up and spend time with them.
Child Care Experience
Since September 2017, I have watched Maurice (17) occasionally, as needed. Maurice has special needs so it is important that I help him adjust to each situation. I cook for him, play with him, and paint with him. From March 2019 until October 2019, I have watched Clara (6) and Jonte (1) twice a month. I typically watched them in the evenings so I would put them to bed. From July 2015 until October 2019, I occasionally babysat Lara (8). This including playing games with her, keeping her busy, cooking for her, playing with her, and doing basic housekeeping. From July 2014 until October 2019 during holidays, I assisted at the horseback riding school at my barn with children ages 2 to 14 years old. I helped teach the kids how to ride and clean the horses, and how to treat the animals and other children. Finally, from July 2015 to May 2019, I babysat Julia (15) once a week during summer camp. I helped her with her riding lessons and also with her summer courses.

Comments
First of all, I love kids more than anything. I am happy to be able to witness the development of the children. The concept of being accepted into a family is very appealing to me because it allows me to bring my own ideas to them, get to know a new culture, and improve my English. My goal is to speak English perfectly when I fly back to Germany. In addition, I would like to learn more about myself during this program. I am very determined, and when I have a goal, I work hard until I reach it. This means that when I start something, I finish it. Honesty, trust, and openness are very important to me and I can deal with many different situations. I also have a first aid certificate and have experience working with children with special needs.
Child Care Experience
From September to October 2018, I worked in a kindergarten for 35 hours a week with children ages 3 to 6 years old. Here, I prepared snacks for the group, helped them get dressed, played games with them, read books to them, drew pictures with them, and took them outside to play. Additionally, I worked with an older kindergarten group from October to November 2018 where the kids were 5 to 10 years old. Here, my responsibilities included preparing their lunches, helping them with their homework, and playing games with them. Finally, from September to November 2018, I babysat Emilia (10) as needed. This included making her lunch or dinner, playing games with her, helping her with her homework, and driving her to her activities.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Meeting up with friends, riding bikes, going to the gym, singing, dancing, trying out new recipes, going to the movies, cheerleading, horseback riding, and going to the gym.
Comments
I want to be an au pair because I love spending time with children, seeing them happy, and doing whatever it takes to see them grow everyday. I chose the USA because I have ancestors with American roots so this culture has fascinated me since I was a child. I think I am qualified to become an au pair in this program because I am a reliable person and will take this job very seriously. I only want the best from my host children and will work to make them happy! I am very independent, responsible, and first aid certified.
Child Care Experience
I've been a swimming coach for children from 4 to 10 years. Being a coach made me realized that every child has a different character and needs an individual care. I always try my best to satisfy everyone. I am able to distinguish between what is necessary to demand, or when it is possible to handle the situation in a more casual way. I learned to deal with these different characters, and also I figured out how to motivate children, so that we can have fun and also continue to evolve during the training lessons. I enjoy seeing their development and how they grow in their tasks. I tutored Leon (7) in Math from March 2019 - June 2019 once a week. Between June 2016 - June 2017 I babysat my cousin Lennox (4). He was very challenging but I never gave up and in the end we got along just fine. I entertained him and prepared meals for him. From May to October 2018I worked in a daycare center for children from 6 to 10 years old . I gave dance lessons to kids and tinkered with them.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Swimming, running, meeting with friends, dancing, playing soccer.
Comments
When I was young, my mother told me about her experiences as an au pair in the USA. Since that time I was inspired to make an au pair exchange after I finished school. I like spending time with children because I can always have fun with them and I like their curiosity and unselfconsciousness. Also, I like to get to know about different cultures and ways of living. I am qualified to participate in the EurAupair program because I am able to take care of children. I am responsible, well organized, I like cooking and I am a family person.
