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
I am first aid certified. As I already said I gained some important experience in terms of child care. Children like it when I play with them or read something to them and I´m very pleased to help them or teach them something new. I'm a very good listener and will do my best to make sure that my host children will be heard, respected, cared for, entertained and that they get the attention and emotional support they need. Even in stressful situations, I keep calm and try to find the best solution or compromise to a problem or conflict. I´m a creative person so I think that I can also inspire children or motivate them very well. In addition, I want to get to know the American way of life, it´s culture and nature as well as sharing my own culture with my 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
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.

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.

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
For me, this au pair program is not just a pastime. It's a very good way to broaden my horizons. I've been working with children for several years and it's clear to me that I want to devote my life to this purpose! My dream is to study social work and realize myself there, for which an au pair year is a big step in order to grow professionally on the one hand, but also as a person on the other. Therefore, I consider myself qualified because I have valid reasons to go abroad for a year, I am very motivated and open minded. I'm very well thought out and have a very good perseverance. These are strengths that will benefit me in the au pair year, because it is not a spontaneous mood, but a well-considered decision. It's an incredible opportunity that I don't want to miss.
Child Care Experience

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.

I want to be an au pair because I want to work with children, love to travel, improve my English skills and explore the world. I always wanted to work with people, especially with children, in my future. When I once worked in a primary school I realized that I would really like to work with children in my future because I like to influence children in the best possible way and help them to grow. I think the au pair program is an excellent chance to help children and to be a friend or sister to them. Furthermore, I hope that I can support the American host family in their daily life. I love to explore new cultures, the English language and I have always been interested in the USA, witch is the reason why I think that being an au pair is the best way to combine those aspects.
