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.

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.

Comments
** 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.

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.

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.

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 would like to take part in this au pair exchange program because I think it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can see a child growing and be a part of their life. I have always been the youngest in my family and around my friends so I wanna know what it feels to be the older sister once. Through my sisters, I know what I should do and what better not. I can understand the child's thoughts. because I have been there but I can also understand the parent's thoughts. I just love the idea to make someone smile after they cried or build a cave out of stuff around the house and to teach you some German holiday traditions or even some funny polish.

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.

I have experience in caring for children with special needs. I am first aid certified. I would love to become an Au Pair because I always dreamed of living in the US. Also, I love child caring and watching them growing up to wonderful human beings. I really want to get known the American culture and your way to live through the day. I read many positive reports of ex-Au Pairs and would love to gain some unforgettable experiences abroad. My personal goal will be to give my host family a unique year and leave incredible memories.
