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.

I have experience in caring for children with special needs. I want to become an au pair because I really love kids. In my whole life there always was children. I'm very patiently when dealing with kids, but if they are rude i could switch over immediately and strict proof. In my internship in the elementary school i played everyday with all the kids and helped them with their problems. I'm the oldest one in my generation and this is the reason why i always had to watch out my siblings and my cousins. One of my cousins is diseased with down syndrome, so i have also experience with a disability. Her name is Ciara and she's a real bullhead, but the kindest person i knew. So i think one of my strenght is the ability to be cool when kids would like to prevaild their opinion and begin to make trouble. I make a lot of fun with kids and endure really much. But if my limits are reached i turn into a serious person and so I express this to the child.
Child Care Experience
Between 2015 and 2016, I taught children ages 5 to 13 years old how to swim. Since November 2016, I have occasionally cared for a group of children ages 3 to 14 years old. I practice a play with them, sing with them and prepare meals for them. I have babysat Emma (4) since March 2018. It includes playing games with her, putting her to bed, reading with her. In January 2020, I cared for a group of children ages 6 to 14 years old which included meal preparation, singing with them and keeping children busy.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies

Comments
I am first aid certified. I want to become your au pair because I enjoy working with children and it makes me happy when children laugh when they are proud of something and show it to you or just spend time with them. I also want to improve my English skills and get to know the culture in the United States better.
Child Care Experience
In 2019, I took care of Fidan (4) and Dilara (2) three days/week. My responsibilities were meal preparation, supervising, driving them where needed.

I've been working in a kindergarten taking care of a group of children ages of newborns to 5 years old since August 2019, 5 days/week. My responsibilities are diaper changing, playing with children, putting them sleep, etc. Since July 2018 I've occasionally cared for my cousin (3). I take him outside to the zoo, playground, etc.

Comments
I am first aid certified. I love children, caring for them, and experiencing how they grow up and made the progress. I am very kind to children which make it easier for children to build trust in me. I want to teach children new things in a playful and joyful way, accompany them in everyday life and be like a sister to them. I also want to see how families live in the US, how other children grow up there, and how the education methods are. I would love to explore the USA. I think being an Au Pair gives you the best of both worlds. I have a lot of experiences due to family and my work at the daycare.

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
I babysat Emely (6) and Toni (9) from April 2018 to May 2021 when needed. I did light housekeeping and all child care related duties. From October 2020 to May 2021 I was a teacher's assistant working with children ages 6 to 17 years old. I supervised the children and taught different subjects. I worked on a horse farm in July 2020 and helped with riding lessons and supervised the children in between the classes. Finally, I volunteered at a school in Africa from July to August 2019. I supervised the children, taught them different subjects, sang songs and danced with them.

Comments
I love kids and I think it is a challenge as well as an enrichment to take part in the upbringing and education of children. I would also gain unforgettable memories and experiences as well as improve my language skills and get to know my strengths and weaknesses better. My family and I would describe me as an open-minded, sociable, host, reliable, confidence and active/sporty person. I approach all situations in live highly motivated and with full passion, so I think I will get along with the children very well. I would also say that I am very uncomplicated and would adapt myself into the host family easily

Comments
I would like to become a primary school teacher. I just enjoy working with children. Of course it can be exhausting with them, but I think that's normal. After all, they are also people with feelings and experiences. In my time as an voluntary social year student I noticed what it means to take responsibility for children and how best to deal with them. I would say about myself that I am empathetic, understanding, social, patient, loving, funny but also a strict and consistent person (the last points are in relation to children). I am very interested to spend a year as an au pair in the USA because of the children and family life. But I also want to meet new people and their culture and customs. Improve the language and discover many new places. Experience adventures that no one can take away from me later.
Child Care Experience
I've volunteered at a school since August 2020 from Monday to Friday providing class room support to children ages 7 to 16 years old. Since December 2020 I've tutored Lukas (8) who is the son of the 6th grade teacher. I help him with homework and play with him. I did an internship in a kindergarten in May 2015 for two weeks. I played with the children, took them outside and supervised meal times. Finally, I babysat Joel (6) and Toews (9) from October 2020 to April 2021 occasionally. I played with them and went for walks with them.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Watching movies, doing hair and makeup on myself and other people, playing games with children and going for walks with them, doing arts and crafts, listening to music, playing badminton, beach volleyball and basketball, roller-skating.
Comments
I never had the chance to have younger siblings. That's why I started working with kids in a school. But I would really like to have even more experiences with kids as a big sister. I’m also really interested in the American culture that’s why I would like to do an Au pair there. I love speaking English that's why I think it's the best way to learn to speak confident and better English. I also want to grow from this year as a person, so I am totally ready to start a job after that. My strengths are definitely that I'm always open to start new things and that I’m open to new people in my life. I'm a really understanding person and a good listener.
Child Care Experience
From JUNE 2016 until JUN 2019, I took care of Henry (5 years) and Silas (2 years). I played with them, learned with them, took them to the pool, took walk with them, went to the playground with them, took them to kindergarten and picked them up, as well as helped with bedtime procedures in the evening. Since FEB 2020, I took care of Luis and Max (both 10 years). I took them to their sports trainings in the afternoon and played with them. From MAR 2020 until DEC 2020, I was responsible for Vanessa (11 years). I also took her to her free time activities and helped her with her homework. From SEP 2019 until JAN 2021, I was in charge if Lisa (also 11 years old). I tutored her in chemistry.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
In my spare time, I like to meet friends. Most of the time we hike and then have a picnic. I also enjoy being with my family and especially my little sister. As a family, we often go to friends and then I also take care of their kids. I also like singing and dancing. If I just want to relax, I write my book on Wattpad and watch TV series. Sometimes I also do a little bit of exercising and workout. I really like to play badminton and to ride my bike.
Comments
I really want to work as an au pair as I spend most of my free time with children and young people. Additionally, I would also like to experience new things for my future. I want to learn as much as possible and improve myself and my English. I feel qualified for the EurAupair program because I am good with children and teenagers. I always come up with something new so that the children would not get bored. I am also nice and respectful and have a big heart. Moreover, I have a lot of energy, which means the kids will have a lot of fun with me every time. I usually do not perceive myself as a babysitter but rather as a big sister.
