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 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.

I always knew that taking care of children is what I wanted to do in the future. In 2013 I experienced being an Au pair with a military family in North Carolina so living abroad, providing childcare and the Au Pair program is not new to me. I consider my first year as an au pair to be the best year of my life and I enjoyed every minute of working with the kids I took care of. I will soon become a certified educator and I want to take that opportunity to spend another year au pairing abroad. I take my role as an educator very seriously and try to be a good role model.
Child Care Experience
I am currently training to be a nursery school teacher which allowed me to complete many internships and take care of children of different ages.

I want to be an au pair in the USA because I love to work with children and see them growing up. In addition I want to learn more about the american lifestyle, the culture and of course I want to improve my English language. And I think living in a family is the best choice to gain these things. Furthermore I love to support children and help them to improve their competences and skills. Thanks to my training and my personal interests, I completed many internships and took care of children in different ages. I have done six internships during my training time. Four of them in the kindergarten or nursery school.

Since more than 3 years now it is a dream of mine to become an Au pair and now after my graduation, I can finally get my wish come true. I love to spend my time with children, to look after their individual needs and help them become independent. Additionally, I really like to hear and see them laughing and know they just having fun and are happy. With you as my future host family, I´m looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas and all the other big public holidays. I hope that this experience let me become more independent and self-confident.

I would like to learn more about the American culture while gaining independence and much more responsibility. I am very diligent and involved while supervising children and I hope that in the end of the Au Pair year I will have more self- confidence and experience in childcare. I truly enjoy caring for children. Besides I like to try out many new things and with this attitude I will also be able to let the children gain general interest in many different aspects during my stay. I would love to spend an enriching year abroad and to possibly make new lifelong friends. My biggest strengths are probably my ambition, creativity and skills in organizing. Besides I am very open- minded and interested in different cultures.

I am first-aid certified. I want to become an au pair because I have always loved to be around children. I want to help them outgrow themselves, because I love to see how they learn new things and how they see the world. I have been interested in America since I was a little child and I want to know more about the culture and the way of living, but as a tourist you will never see the real America. I also want to improve my English. In addition I love trying new things and I think that a year abroad will be a great experience for me. I consider myself qualified because I have a lot of experience. I am dependable, responsible and patient, but also very humorous and I really like to plan activities.

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.
Child Care Experience
From 2013 to 2014, I helped plan various activities at Sunday School at my church a couple times a month. The kids here were 5 to 10 years old. Additionally, in 2013, I worked at a kindergarten for one week where I played with kids 1 to 2 years old. I also helped them with mealtime and helped the teachers with their lessons. From August 2017 to July 2018, I started tutoring a girl in French. She was 13 years old and I helped her complete her homework and prepare for her exams. Finally, I have been babysitting my little brother, Simeon, since he was born in 2012. This has given me a lot of experience feeding kids, helping with homework, and putting them to bed.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Dance, singing in church choir, flute, school orchestra, drawing, sewing, photography, horseback riding, and skiing.

I want to be an au pair because I am very much a family person having two sisters and one little brother. I love being around and playing with children. Growing up, we had two au pair girls from Brazil, who I like a lot, so I would love to live the same experience. Being an au pair would be a great, safe possibility to experience the USA while living with an American family. Additionally, I want to improve my English since I am already fluent in German and French.
