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.

From 2020-2021 I spend a year abroad in America. There I lived in a host family and went to school. But because of Covid I could only do in person school for two months. I really enjoyed living with my host family and getting to know the American culture. I liked it so much that I want to go back again. Since I like to work with kids, I thought this was a good program where I can also go to college, take care of the kids and live in a host family that I can hopefully call my second family after that year. I am an open person with a lot of siblings, so I know how to take care of kids.

I want to be an au pair participant, because first of all I love children and taking care of them is absolutely no problem for me. We can do many activities in their free time, when they finished kindergarten or school and their homework, as long as there are no hobbies or play dates I have to bring them to. We would have a lot of fun together, as I already have a lot of ideas what we can to together from my experience with my children’s group. Secondly, I want to do this to take a break before I start studying and while doing so, I want to travel to another country and get to know a new culture. I have always dreamed of going to the USA therefore I decided that the perfect thing to do is to be an au pair there.

I decided on the Au Pair program because I love working with children and I can imagine doing something like that for my future as well. I have a little sister with whom I love to spend time with and have even helped children with their schoolwork by tutoring them. I am a very open person and have always been very good with people. Especially my experiences with my sister, but also with my godchildren at school, as well as my position as head girl have shown me many aspects of taking care of children and taught me to act patient and understanding. I've been thinking about my future for a long time and I’m particularly convinced of the idea of the Au Pair year in the USA because I love it and English has been my favorite school subject for years.

Ever since I was a little girl I've dreamed of traveling to the USA and discovering it. For about 3 years now I've been dreaming of coming to the USA as an au pair, I think that's exactly the right thing for me because on the one hand I have the chance to fulfill my dream and on the other hand I can immerse myself in the typical American family life and I have the great responsibility and honor of taking care of your children. I look forward to taking care of the children and supporting and helping them where I can. Through my babysitting jobs I have learned that children don't always just need a play partner but someone who will hug them and listen to them and I think that's exactly what I can offer, I'm not just a play partner but also a big sister and sometimes also mom for the children I babysit and I think this variety is great.

I've been a tutor since September 2021 to children ages 6 to 10 years old. I help with homework and do arts and crafts with the children. In July 2022, I assisted with art workshops geared towards children ages 6 to 12 years old. I did arts and crafts with the children and entertained them. I have volunteered at an elementary school supervising children's study time (ages 6 to 10 years old). I help with homework, entertain the children, do arts and crafts with them and read with them. I've babysat my cousins Emelie (8) and Julian (5) since September 2014. I play with them, prepare meals, draw and read with them, go to the playground or play soccer with them.

I've always dreamed of doing a year abroad as an AuPair in America once in my life because I love children, have been involved with children every day at work and find it very interesting to get to know different cultures and see how people in America live live in another country and thus exchange ideas. That's why I think a year as an AuPair is just right for me. In addition, there are so many great places and attractions in America that I really want to see, I am open to everything new and i love to meet new people in my life.
