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 prepared meals for him and played with him. In 2019, I worked at a Kindergarten, with children from 1 to 6.

I also read them stories, danced with them or even comforted them when they were sad. Of course I also did things like helping them eat, changing their clothes or diapers etc. In May 2019 I worked in a school caring for children from 6 to 10 years old. I helped them with homework, playing games, supervising them on the playground, build a connection with them,etc.

** Will take her driver licence's test in February 2020*** I want to become an Au Pair because I love children. I like taking care of them, playing with them, just seeing them happy and being able to see them grow up. I really want to be able to grow as a person during this year because you never stop learning from new experiences. My English is already pretty good and I think that is a strength of mine because Iâm able to really communicate with everyone. Iâve already participated in an exchange program before so I think I can deal with homesickness a bit better than people who have never been away from home.

Since March 2015 I have been taking care of Greta (6) and Paul (7) occasionally, I prepared food for them, put them down to sleep and played games with them. Since September 2017 I have been caring for Jonas (6) and Melissa (9), I prepared meals for them and played with them. Since June 2018 I have been caring for Julian (4) occasionally, I played with him, prepared snakcs for him and took him to the bed.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies

I want to become an au pair because I love children and want to see how the culture and life in the USA is. I am a very mature person for my age but I have always been in a good mood and you can have a lot of fun with me. I really hope this letter helps to get to know me. I take care of kids for a long time and I still love it. It is my dream to see another culture and see how they live. Being an au pair would be a great honor and an incredible experience for me. I am well suited because I am a really responsible and honest person. To teach and help kids in their development makes me happy and thankful.
Child Care Experience
From September 2014 to July 2015, I worked 30 hours per week with a group of children ages 1 to 6 years old. Here, I changed diapers, gave them meals, put them down for naps, played with them, and took them for walks. Additionally, from August 2014 to July 2015, I helped children ages 8 to 12 years old with homework and activities for about 10 hours per week. For the month of May 2016, I worked 35 hours a week with a group of toddlers age 2 to 3 years old. With them, I read books, helped keep them clean, and played with them. I also worked in a kindergarten class for 40 hours a week from February to March 2017 where I read to them, played with them, prepared activities for them, and took them outside. From February to March 2018, I worked with kids age 8 to 18 where I helped with homework, played with them, and prepared activities. I did the same with a classroom of kids age 6 to 8 from November to December 2018 and again from April to May 2019 with a group of kids younger than 6. All of these experiences in classrooms were internships for my degree. Finally, I babysat Neo (2) occasionally since 2018 where I changed his diapers, played with him, cleaned him, fed him, and brought him to bed.

I would like to become an au pair in the US because after 17 years of school I would like to see the world and have my own experiences. I love working with kids and have a lot of fun with them. I think being an au pair is a good mix of working with children and traveling. I decided to be an educator for my future job so I think I can apply my knowledge about the development of children very well in my au pair year.
Child Care Experience
From October 2016 until December 2019, I babysat Jonas (7) daily. We played football together, cooked & baked, and went on trips like to an amusement park. Additionally, from May 2010 until December 2019, I watched Andrej (5) daily. My responsibilities included driving him to school or sports matches, and helping him after school with his homework and learning. From winter 2018 until summer 2019, I watched Evelyn (10) and Paul (8), occasionally, as needed. This included cooking together and playing games with them while I watched them. Finally, from October 2016 to December 2019, I watched a group of kids ages 7 to 14 occasionally. This included playing with them and creating fun games for us to play.

I'm a honest, friendly, happy, and funny girl and I love to make new adventures and memories. I have a positive mind. Waking up to see another day is a blessing. I love to spend time with kids and also enjoy their company. I'd be pleased if I had the chance to be an au pair in the USA. The culture, the nature, and the sports are all really interesting in the USA. I love kids and love to spend time with them. I can cook for them and be their friend. I want to have a good and awesome relationship with my host children. You can always count on me. I also have experience taking care of kids with special needs.

I am first aid certified. There are several reasons why I want to become an Au Pair. First of all, I really like children and I think, they can even teach us things, like using our imagination and finding creativity again which we may have lost over the years. I love them because they represent all the innocence which we lost growing up and I love seeing how they develop and learn new things every day. They are just so full of life. Furthermore, I want to improve my English skills, meet new people and Iâm sure, one year, maybe two years far away from home will let me grow more as a person.
