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 babysat Shaban (3) from 2016 to 2018 for about 4 hours a week. I took him to the playground, cooked for him, played with him, and put him to bed.

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.

Since March 2018, I have babysat Altay (3) and Kerem (3) once a week. This includes singing to them, playing games with them, changing their clothes, feeding them, and putting them to bed.

I did things like feed them, dance with them, take them for a walk, read books to them, and put them to sleep. Finally, one week during the summer in 2016, 2017, and 2018, I worked with a group of children ages 5 to 11 years old at my church. Here, I would organize and manage the group activities, do crafts with them, and play games with them.

My strongest qualitty applicable to becoming an au pair is my interest in children. I am responsible, kind, friendly, level-headed, and first aid certified. I can play the same game 100 times or hear the same radio song over and over. I follow rules very strictly and motivate the children to do the same. I am very happy to meet new people and to be apart of another family. I will definitely be a great part of your family and take a lot of responsibility. I also have expert knowledge in pedagogy and child psychology.

In 2016 I worked at an after school care center, I took care of children (6-12) every day for month. I helped them with homework, supervised them and played with them. I worked at another after-school care center between 2017 and 2018 with children (6-12) daily for 3 months. Since 2017 I coach a soccer team with 6 to 9-year-old children for 4-5 hours per week. I organize training and games, think of exercises. Since 2007 I have been taking care of my brother Maxmilian (now 11), watching him, playing with him and helping with his homework.

Comments
I am a very open minded person. I treat everyone equally no matter what skin color, religion or sexuality. I am a very responsible person, but I can be goofy as well. I know how to behave in specific situations and how to respect rules, but the children can have as much fun with me as they want as long as it is appropriate. I can teach them how to help themselves, but also others and how to respect their love ones. I will give my best to show them that I really want to be their au pair. I can bond with children and adults perfectly and I just want everyone to be happy and be a part of their family. I am also first-aid certified.

I want to become a participant because I want to be more independent and learn the language better. An experience like this will not be anywhere better than abroad. I feel qualified enough because I have been training as a nanny for almost two years and love to get back to work every day. My strengths are perseverance, humor and my organizational skills.

I have watched Jonas (14) since August 2015 and still do so, as needed. This typically ranges from 1 to 5 hours per week and I also tutor him, coach him, help him with homework, and help him study for exams. For the month of July 2018, I worked with a kindergarten group with children ages 3 to 6 years old for 6 hours a day. I would assist the children with everyday activities, supervise excursions and field trips, help them eat and get dressed, and play with them. Finally, I have volunteered at my church with a group of kids ages 5 to 14 years old once a week since October 2014. Here, I do arts and crafts with them, plan activities for them, play games with them, sing with them, paint with them, and sometimes bake with them.

I want to become an au pair because I like new adventures and learning about different cultures. I have previously done school exchanges to the UK and France and I enjoyed the expereinece of being away from home without getting homesick. The USA has been interesting to me since I was a little child and I would love to live there for a year and learn about the culture and American way of life. I am the right person to take care of your children because I am very reliable, love to plan activities and go on excursions, I am very flexible, and I look out for the needs of the children. Additionally, I like to do everything from cooking, to playing soccer, to doing crafts with children. I am first aid certified and I have taken a course where I learned how to care for children.

Until July 2018 I was with two different families, caring for Yessine (4) and Jaron (3) twice a month, bottle feeding them, changing diapers, giving baths, putting them to bed. I would sometimes stay overnight and would do some light housekeeping too. In 2018 I was taking care of Mika (1.5) and Dima (7) about 3 times a month, playing with them, keeping them entertained, helping with bath and getting them ready for bed.

I like to try new things, find out about different cultures, people and languages.

I want to go to the USA on this program because I would like to travel, learn about the American culture and gain experience for becoming a teacher in the future. Also, I like to work with people and help them in general. I think that I am qualified for this program due to the fact that I am an extremely open, persistent and assertive person and that I get along with children very well.

Comments
Already in kindergarten I wanted to become an educator and this dream has now come true. I love to work with children, to teach them new things and to see how they continue to develop. As an au pair, I see the opportunity to develop myself further and to become even more confident in dealing with the children. I often notice myself that in a familiar environment one likes to pass on the responsibility to others, but with the program I want to experience the children in really every life situation and grow with the challenges. I think after this year I will come back much more self-confident and will be able to face any situation without any problems. What's more, I can't think of anything better than getting to know America and their way of life with a host family and their children and improving my English.

I love working with children and I love traveling. I want to become an au pair, because I want to discover the USA. I want to live inside of an american family, go through all the holidays together with you and just learn something new about your country. I always wanted to work with children because seeing them growing up and laugh is just a great feeling. I think my strengths are that I´m quite patient, creative and that I always try to make kids smile, because that makes me smile.
