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.

Comments
I am really interested to get to know other cultures and I like to take care of children. That is why I like the principle of the AuPair system. Since I ́m a trained childcare worker, I have many hours of experiences with kids. For every age, I have different ideas for different needs. I always know how to take care of them. I also know individual songs and games I can teach them playfully. I can put myself into the children so I can react better to their needs. Because of my endurance, I can deal with children for a long time. Along this, I can speak and understand kids on their level. I really like to cook. I learned to prepare balanced meals which I would love to do for you as well. As a team player, I very much enjoy working in a team with my host family. I do all my tasks with patience and lots of effort.
Child Care Experience
From August 2020 to June 2021, 3 times a week, I looked after a group of children ages 10 to 16 during recess. I supervised the students while they were serving food and made sure students followed the rules. Between September 2019 and March 2020, Monday to Friday, I worked in an advisory center for children and teenagers ages 10 to 13. I talked to the children an made sure they followed the rules. Since 2016, I occasionally care for Zeinab since she is 7 years old. We play together, among other things just dance, we also play cards, we eat and then put her to bed in the evening. Since 2018, I occasionally take care of Sinad since she is 5 years old. I play with her, we make dinner together and I put her to bed.

Comments
The reason I signed up for the Au Pair program is that it is a great opportunity. Not only to improve your English skills but also a great opportunity is to broaden your horizons. Another reason why I applied for the Au Pair program is because you work with children there. In the future I would also like to work with children and this is another great opportunity to gain experience with children and that even abroad. This is also one of the reasons why I would be a great Au Pair. I love working with children and take advantage of the opportunity available to me.
Child Care Experience
I was in charge of a children dance group (3 to 6 years old) from September 2017 to June 2019, once a week for 2 hours. I supervised the children, we danced and we played games. From November 2017 to May 2019, once a week, I supervised a group of 13 to 14 year old children for their confirmation. Since 2015, I occasionally look after Samy and Charlie (1 then, now 5), Henry ( 1 then, now 6) and Sofia and Alessio (1 then, 5 now). In 2016, I did a 2 week internship in a kindergarten where I looked after a group of children ages 4 to 5.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Going to the gym or working out from home which I do that 2-3 times a week, I like to be outside, especially when it’s warm, I also like planting flowers and relaxing in the garden, I like sports with balls, for example handball or volleyball

I would like to take a gap year as an au pair in the US because I would like to gain other experiences before starting to study at university. I want to get to know the language and the culture better, and am looking forward to meeting new people and starting friendships with people all over the world. I believe that being an au pair is perfect for me, as I have always been able to take care of and deal with children well since I was little. Since the past few years, I've also had a lot of experience with smaller children. Some of my strengths include being able to always think of something to do and being patient. I also believe that I have a good balance of being relatively relaxed and strict. Moreover, I am very flexible, so the family can always rely on me at any time.
Child Care Experience
I babysat Arias, Elise and Luca (ages 2 to 3 years old) from March to July 2021 a few hours a week. I played with them supervised them, took care of their general hygiene and helped them get dressed. I interned at my church from April to July 2021 once a week taking care of a group of children ages 3 to 7 years old. I played with the children, assisted them with bathroom routine, supervised them and did face paintings for them. Finally, from Jun to July 2021 for two days I interned at an elementary school working with children ages 6 to 7 years old. I played with the children, supervised them and assisted with reading and writing tasks.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Baking, writing little stories, photography and filming, going to musicals or to the theater, riding horses, cycling.
Comments
I like to spend my free time with children. I have always enjoyed planning activities with children, for example, doing handicrafts with them, coming up with new games, or telling them stories. Nothing would please me more than to take care of your children for a whole year, to get to know their interests and talents and to support them in their further development. Traveling to the United States has also been my one of my dreams because I find American culture and especially the idea of the American dream very exciting. Finally, I consider myself qualified to participate in this program because I enjoy spending time with children, have a lot of patience in dealing with children and I am always happy to meet new people.
