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.

Why do I want to be an Aupair? One of the many reasons would be that I love to be an older sister. Taking care of younger ones and also being able to be their playmate and friend, has always been something fun and exciting for me. I was sure that I wanted to travel around, but as a very family orientated person the thought of being all on my own scared me. It was very exciting for me to find out that being an Aupair means also being part of a family. Creating a strong, loving bond abroad, explore new cultures, while traveling and working with children just feels like the perfect match for me. So I'm here hoping to also be the perfect match for your family.

I believe I am a great candidate for your family because I am very experienced with childcare in every aspect. I can pull from my more than 6000 hours of childcare experience to make the best decisions at all times. I am mature and independent, this will not be my first time as an Au Pair in the US. I had a wonderful time during my first year and am well aware of what to expect. I pride myself on being punctual, reliable and patient. I am a responsible care taker and do not take the responsibility of caring for your children lightly. Their happiness, safety and well being will be my biggest priorities. I also want to provide them with fun experiences and make their days as joyful as possible, and I am well equipped for that. I believe that being an Au Pair means being part of a team with the parents, whose job it is to ensure all the best things possible for the kids.

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.
