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.

Child Care Experience
Between 2015-2019 I occasionally cared for Ciara, Zoey, and Mia since they were born. I used to change their diapers, prepare meals for them, play with them, put them to sleep, help with homework when they got older, take them to school. Between June 2016 - November 2019 I cared for Xander (3), Luna (1) and Simon (2) once a week. We did activities together like sports, etc. Since February 2018 I've been caring for Gabriel (4). I pick him up at school, prepare meals for him, bath him and play with him.

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
Between 2015 and 2016, I taught children ages 5 to 13 years old how to swim. Since November 2016, I have occasionally cared for a group of children ages 3 to 14 years old. I practice a play with them, sing with them and prepare meals for them. I have babysat Emma (4) since March 2018. It includes playing games with her, putting her to bed, reading with her. In January 2020, I cared for a group of children ages 6 to 14 years old which included meal preparation, singing with them and keeping children busy.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Baking, cooking, practicing sports, meeting my friends, playing with kids, reading books, spending time with my family, soccer, badminton, volleyball, hockey, basketball.

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 did an internship at a kindergarten from January to December 2016 taking care of children ages 3 to 6 years old. I played with the children and prepared meals.

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.

In OCT 2020, I took care of a school group for the ages 6 to 10 years.

I also organized the Halloween party. In AUG 2020, I took care of another school group (ages 6 to 12): I planned activities, motivated and entertained them, sang with the children, talked to them, and prepared food for and with them. From AUG until SEP 2020, I took care of Felix (8), Loisi (5) and Henry (2). I had to wake them up, bath and dress them, make them breakfast and lunch, take them to kindergarten and pick them up.

Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Sometimes, if my parents and I have time, we go on motorbike tours together. Since my mum hasn't got a motorbike license she always rides with my dad. When I was 16 years old I got my motorcycle license and bought myself a small motorbike. A few years later my little brother Daniel did the same. So, on a beautiful day we all enjoy a motorbike tour together. Once a week I have a horse riding lesson at the "Riding and Driving Club" in Göppingen, a big horse farm. Here I have been riding since I was 14 years old, which was much later than others, but better late than never. Up to now I have been riding dressage, but I am going to start with show jumping soon. Whenever I have time, I bake muffins, cupcakes, pies, cakes or American cookies. I am also really interested in art and design which is why I often decorate my cakes a lot :) Furthermore I like painting and handcrafting. Often I use this for my planner, because I create my own. It is called "bullet journal" or "filofaxing". For a few years I have been doing cycling tours with my parents on a regular basis. Mostly we cycle more than 50 kilometer with a lot of changes in attitude. So, the rides can be really exhausting. Furthermore I am riding horses once a week at the "Riding and Driving Club" in Göppingen, a big horse farm. Here I have been riding since I was 14 years old, which was much later than others, but better than never. Up to know I have been riding dressage, but I am going to start with show jumping soon. Sometimes I also ride out with my friend Johanna on her two horses. That is always a lot of fun. If the weather is good, my brother Philipp and I sometimes go jogging.

One reason why I want to become an au pair is because I love spending time with children, showing or teaching them new things. That is why I want to become a teacher as my future career. But why America? 1. Living in another country, culture and family is a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot about the USA, but also a lot about yourself. I am hoping to gain new experiences which will shape my life and help me develop myself. 2. I am fascinated by culture, traditions, the mentality of the people, etc. Therefore, I would love to experience American reality, in an American family. I am a person who can be calm and focus even in stressful situations. Moreover I am reliable and careful in everything I do. Some of my strengths are being accurate, organized, clean, and also flexible. I am also good at planning, organizing activities, entertaining, and engaging children.
Child Care Experience
From March 2013 until October 2015, I took care of Julian (3 years), Adrian (4 years), and Juliane (7 years).

I help her getting ready for bed, prepare meals for her, and play with her. From September 2018 until January 2021, I took care of Delilah (1,5 years). I fed her, played with her, changed her diapers, and took her outside for walks. From June 2019 until January 2021, I took care of Jan and Philipp (both 1.5 years). I was taking them outside for little walks and did arts and crafts with them. I was also tutoring children in English from May until December 2016. I also took care of a kindergarten group (ages 3 to 6 years) and helped the kindergarten teachers with all necessary chores, food preparations, and games on a daily basis. From December 2017 until September 2020, I was taking care of Ciara (12 years) and Keanu (15 years). I drove them to their free time activities and cooked for them.

I want to become an Au Pair to see and live the American culture with an American Host Family. I always wanted to work with children and have a hand in their upbringing and watching them grow. I'd love to have a 2nd home away from home. I'm a really responsible and flexible person with a good attitude. I work good in a team and I'm really excited to get out of my comfort zone and learn new things. I'd love to get the chance to learn something new about myself. I want to get to know new people and make some new friend from all around the world.
