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.

Comments
It’s very simple, I really love to take care of children. I like the position of a big sister, but my brother is meanwhile too old to take care of him. The shiny eyes of the little cuties or the love that they give you. I enjoy to spend time with them and to do a lot with them. Apart from that I always wanted to get to know other cultures like the American one. I looking forward to spending thanksgiving Christmas or all the public holidays with you because I think they are completely different from them here in Germany.
Child Care Experience
I cared for my cousin Lian (6) from September 2013 to August 2019. I dressed him up, bathed him, read with him, etc. Between July 2016 - May 2017 I babysat Elijah (7) almost every day. I prepared meals for him and played with him. In 2019, I worked at a Kindergarten, with children from 1 to 6. I had such a great time bonding with all the children and building a relationship with them. We sang songs together, built sandcastles, played soccer and other games. 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 I’m able to really communicate with everyone. I’ve 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 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
Photography, playing soccer, reading, body styling, practicing step-aerobics.
Comments
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
I used to be a dancing coach teaching children ages 6 to 12 years old from 2012 to 2016. Between October and November 2018, I did an internship at a hospital taking care of children ages 3 to 8 years old. I looked after the children, cleaned the rooms, calmed down the kids at medical examinations, checked blood pressure and body temperature.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Riding horses, jogging, working out, meeting my friends, listening to music, riding, healthy lifestyle.

I want to become an au pair exchange program participant in the USA because I´m really interested in the American way of life. I would like to explore the foreign country and its culture. In addition, I want to improve my English skills. But of course, the main reason why I want to be an au pair is the kids. I love spending time with them and see them growing. I think I´m a good caregiver and can cooperate with different characters which enables me to customize myself to the individual needs of the children. They can always count on me and I will have an open ear for their problems, thoughts, and needs 24 hours a day. Because of these strengths, my family (which includes many young members, 4 little cousins) and my experience in work with children for 4 years in a row (dancing coach) qualifies myself to participate in the EurAupair program.
Child Care Experience
I've been occasionally caring for Aurora (7) since 2013. I entertain her, prepare her for bedtime and help with homework. I've been tutoring Michelle (14) English and German once a week since 2016. In 2019 I occasionally babysat Mia (13), Lilly (9) and Hannes (5). I entertained them, helped them with homework and prepared meals for them. I've been babysitting Johanna (13) since 2006. I helped to change her diapers, fed her and watched her when she was a baby. Now, I spend time with her helping with homework, playing with her, etc. Between 2017-2018 I helped in a primary school with children ages 5 to 7 years old.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Practicing sport, doing yoga, walking in the forest or along a river, listening to music, reading books, meeting my friends, going to the cinema, swimming, riding my bike, walking my dog, spending time with my family, hiking, cooking, dancing.
Comments
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 I’m sure, one year, maybe two years far away from home will let me grow more as a person.
Child Care Experience
Since 2015, I've cared for multiple children ages 5 to 13 years old. I usually prepared meals and snacks, helped with homework, played with them and drove them where needed. I've been a dance teacher since July 2019 teaching a group of children ages 12 to 18 years. I did an internship at a primary school working with children ages 6 to 9 years old.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Dancing, singing, listening to music, taking pictures, playing the viola and piano, reading books, meeting friends, swimming, traveling, practicing judo, soccer, basketball, riding a bike.
Comments
Through my different experiences with children, I decided to become an au pair, because I had so much fun teaching them new things or just playing games with them. I would also like to learn more about American culture and tradition and meet new people. I would say I am an ambitious, caring and reliable person. I am also open to new challenges and working with children would definitely be a great experience. I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids.
Child Care Experience
**I am willing to care for children 1 year and older.** Since August 2019 I've been working at a mother & child clinic taking care of groups of children ages 9 months to 3 years old, 3 to 5 years old, 5 to 7 years old and 7 to 16 years old. My responsibilities depend on their age, I do treasure hunts and longer trips to the beach with the older kids. I also tinker a lot with them and I help some of them with their homework. I play a lot with younger children, we eat breakfast together, I change their diapers, potty train them, we tinker and I help them to get dress when we go outside. Between February-June 2019 I took care of Jan (11) on weekends, tutoring him and preparing meals for him.

I have experience in caring for children with special needs. I am first aid certified. I want to become an au pair exchange program participant in the USA because I think a year abroad is a great way to meet other people and it is a unique chance to improve my English skills. I was always interested in experience the American culture and I like the idea to connect this with taking care of children. Till now I only took care of kids for a few weeks or months and I am already excited to watch the kids in my host family grow and to have at least a little hand in their upbringing. I am very qualified for the EurAupair program because I have many hours of experience with kids of different ages and I am also very independent and social which is pretty helpful in a different country far away from home.
Child Care Experience

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.

I am first-aid certified. I want to become an au pair in the US because I want to improve my language skills and I want to leave my comfort zone. I am also very interested in the American way of life and would like to get to know it myself. Besides, I am also very child-friendly and like looking after small kids and that is why I came up with the idea of becoming an au pair. I think one of my strengths is my perseverance and my organizational talent. Moreover, I can listen well and find it easy to understand other people's position.

I am first aid certified. I am well suited as an au pair participant because I am good with children. I love children and love to be with them. I can stand by and help children in any kind of situation where they need help. I have been volunteering in various services for seven years to help children and adolescents (e.g. at school and at the Hohensyburg open-air theater). That's why I also know how best to motivate children in different situations. Because of my good dealings with children and babies, I am definitely qualified to help and advise them and their children. My strengths are that I am very creative, patient and reliable. And I love making up stories and games for children.
