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.

Why do I want to become an au pair? Because it gives me great joy to accompany children in a playful way and to support them individually in their personal development. I also like to see them growing up, smiling, their shining eyes, their imagination, and spend time with them. I would like to gain experience as an au pair and get to know the American way of life. In addition, I am hoping to become more independent and self-confident during my year abroad.

I would like to get to know the American culture and lifestyle . I have a lot of childcare experience as my 2-year-old nephew lives at home with me and I am constantly with him and I also take care of my neighbor's children.

Additionally, I am very patient, caring and try to spread positivity wherever I go. I want to be someone you can trust your children with, depend and rely on. I will try to be a big help for you and hope to become a part of your family.

I want to become an au pair because I love children. I think it's fascinating when they discover new places and things. I love the gleam in their eyes when they love something or the sparkling eyes when they are doing something they want to hide. The USA is the best country to do this year abroad because of the beautiful landscapes and people. I would like to know your culture and how you are living. I also love to speak English and I want to improve it. I can do this because I have the experience and the authority if it's needed. I can be patient, funny, serious and of course caring.

I am first aid certified. When I was 8 years old and I first came in touch with parts of the american culture , mostly music and movies,I have become obsessed with the idea of travelling to that exact country. Now that I grew up a little I still crave to fulfill that childhood dream of mine. In my teenage years I have spent a lot of time with my family. As my parents are lucky enough to have plenty of siblings, I can call a significant number of children my cousins. That is why I have gotten my first experience with children care quite early. As the oldest cousin I was the one with all the responsibility which made me develop into a very mature and independent human being. But nonetheless, I know how to entertain children of every age with various activities due to my experiences. All in all, I just love spending time with children and seeing them happy just fills my heart with joy.

I am first aid certified. I work as an educator in a catholic kindergarten. I practiced karate for five years. I trained kids in karate for half a year. I want to participate in this program because I want to get to know and experience the American culture and live the American way. Since I did my education to become an educator in Germany with the German ideas of bringing up children I am now interested in the American point of view; How are children raised there, what are they taught when and how. I am a very cheerful person who can light up almost any situation. I enjoy very much working with children and help them and see them grow. I am a hard working person and complete my tasks to the dot because I think that is of utmost importance when working with children.
