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.

Working with children is not only something beautiful and elementary, it is simply a dream job for me. Since I was a child I dreamt of visiting the USA and be part of their everyday life. Watching children grow up and accompanying them on their journey and positively influencing as well as shaping them is a passion for me. The organizational, creative, heartfelt, medical and social tasks of the profession are suitable areas for me. As a responsible, warm and reliable person, I am able to cope with the many demands of the profession and respond to the individual needs of children and parents. In addition, I am able to handle physical and psychological stress and At the same time, I want to show that I can maintain an overview in these situations and perform my tasks in a focused but sensitive manner. My motivation is to give the families the support they need.

Watching them grow up and helping them along the way there really fills my heart with joy. I also love travelling, getting to know and experiencing different cultures. Being an au pair in the United States would not only allow me to live in this fascinating country with so much to see in the different states, but would also allow me to become a part of the culture. Additionally, it is a great opportunity to improve my English skills and speak with many native speakers. Overall, I would say that I am a responsible, kind, reliable and patient person, who is also first aid certified. All of that makes me a great au pair for your children.

I love children! Since I was little, I grew up with cousins and got more and more over the years. I always had fun to visit them and especially to take care of the smaller children. Children radiate a happiness that is easily transferred to the people around them. But even when children are sad, I usually manage to calm them down again, or even make them laugh again. I would say of myself that I can handle children. At the same time, of course, I know where I should show them their limits, because they often do not know them yet. I am also a very adventurous person, which is why I like to have adventures with children. I love traveling and I love spending time with children, gaining experience and meeting new people. Ever since I was 12 I have wanted to experience a trip like this and I am determined to do so one day. Now hopefully the time has come.

I want to get to know the culture and perfect my English. On top of that, I want to travel more often and really like working with children. Why I want to go to the USA, I have always been fascinated by the States, my grandparents have been to the USA a few times, which is why it became a dream of mine to travel there too. Also, I do not want the tourist experience but rather learning about the culture and visiting non-tourist spots. I feel like my punctuality is one strength of mine, I like to be rather 5 minutes earlier than I have to, so that I will definitely not be late. Like I mentioned earlier I like doing arts and crafts therefore I am really creative and like planning activities. I am a very open person and not afraid to try out new things and drive as much as I can which is why it for sure is not going to be problematic to drive children around.
