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.

Why do I want to become an au pair? The simplest answer is: I love children. I love to see them smiling, their shining eyes and their imagination. I like to see them growing up and spending time with them. Besides I would like to get to know the American way of life and different cultures. It would be great to become more independent and self-confident during this year abroad. I am looking forward to hear from you soon and I hope we will spent a great time with each other! I am first aid certified.

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.

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.

I would like to go to America because I want to get to know the culture as well as the language better. Whether in the city or in the countryside, it doesn't matter. I love children and I am ready for a new chapter in my life. I heard only good things about America and the people. Moreover, the year as an Au Pair abroad also is some kind of a journey to find myself. Finally be responsible for myself and grow up. I am open to the number of children. Since I am a family person, I hope that I can be a part of yours.

I am first-aid certified. I want to become an au pair because I have always loved to be around children. I want to help them outgrow themselves, because I love to see how they learn new things and how they see the world. I have been interested in America since I was a little child and I want to know more about the culture and the way of living, but as a tourist you will never see the real America. I also want to improve my English. In addition I love trying new things and I think that a year abroad will be a great experience for me. I consider myself qualified because I have a lot of experience. I am dependable, responsible and patient, but also very humorous and I really like to plan activities.

I am first aid certified. When I was 8 years old and I first came in touch with parts of the american culture , mostly music and movies,I have become obsessed with the idea of travelling to that exact country. Now that I grew up a little I still crave to fulfill that childhood dream of mine. In my teenage years I have spent a lot of time with my family. As my parents are lucky enough to have plenty of siblings, I can call a significant number of children my cousins. That is why I have gotten my first experience with children care quite early. As the oldest cousin I was the one with all the responsibility which made me develop into a very mature and independent human being. But nonetheless, I know how to entertain children of every age with various activities due to my experiences. All in all, I just love spending time with children and seeing them happy just fills my heart with joy.
Child Care Experience

Between June 2016 and June 2018, once a week, I was a mediator in a school for children between the ages of 11 and 14 years old.

Going to America was always like a childhood dream to me and now I want to make that dream become reality. But when I decided to become an Au Pair it actually hadnât anything to do with my wish to see America one day. To me itâs important to be part of something significant and family is the most important thing in life. Moreover I love children and I also love being an older sister. So why give it up when I can become an "older sisterâ to someone else? I want to meet new people, I want to explore the American way of life and I love to take up new life challenges. To me being a bigger sister and a qualified mediator are my strengths. I know how it is to be with younger family members, how to behave responsibly and how handle fights between siblings to make them come to a compromise.
