Great Britain, sometimes used interchangeably with the United Kingdom, is a group of countries made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Great Britain is a network of islands located to the north of continental Europe.
The United States was once ruled by Great Britain, up until the Revolutionary War. Because of these close ties, there are many basic similarities between the United States and Great Britain. Even though there is some cultural overlap, hosting an au pair from Great Britain will give you and your family a wonderful learning experience.
General Facts About Great Britain
You will learn many interesting things about the countries of Great Britain when you welcome your au pair into your home. Here are just a few:
- The population of Great Britain is around 63.7 million.
- Since Great Britain is made up of multiple countries, it has several capitals. London is the capital of England, Edinburgh of Scotland, Cardiff for Wales and Belfast in Northern Ireland.
- Many sports were invented here, including golf, cricket, soccer, rugby and boxing.
- The different countries within Great Britain are all united under the same government but all have unique cultural identities.
When you host an au pair from the UK, you'll learn so much about their culture and way of life.
Family Life and Children in Great Britain
Similar to the United States, the nuclear family is a common structure in Great Britain. However, that family structure is also changing. Most British households are small, allowing them greater mobility and less financial stress on the family.
Families in Great Britain teach their children to be independent and self-reliant from the very beginning. This type of upbringing gives your au pair from Great Britain the skills they need to learn a new environment and take on their responsibilities easily and enthusiastically.
Driving Skills
Residents of Great Britain can get their driving license when they are 17 years old. They first must pass a written exam and then a practical exam to receive their full driver's license.
Education
The education system in Great Britain is very similar to that of the United States. They have primary, secondary and higher education levels. Students may enroll in state schools or independent schools. Children in Great Britain are required to stay in school at least until they are 16, but many stay in school until they are 18. Most students enroll at a university as well.
Communication and Language Skills
The official language of Great Britain is English. However, there are also many regional languages and dialects spoken in the different regions of the country. There are also many different languages spoken in cities by immigrant citizens.
Religion
The official religion of Great Britain is Christianity. They have churches for many different denominations, just like the United States. Other common religions in Great Britain are Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and Judaism.
Diet
Today, people in Great Britain and the United States enjoy many of the same foods. However, Great Britain has many more traditional dishes that are not found in the United States. Some popular dishes are toad in the hole, cottage pie, Yorkshire pudding, shepherd's pie and bangers and mash.

Comments
Ever since I can remember I wanted to go to America. There are so many different cultures and different landscapes, I just want to see them in reality, not just in pictures. A lot of my friends have been to America. They worked as an au pair or they have been on a trip and they only had good things to report. An au pair year would be perfect for me, because I am always curious for meeting new people, to widen my horizon and to gain new experiences. I work a lot with children and I just love seeing them laughing and having fun. I am always positive upon new things and I am very determined. I would describe myself as a responsible person and someone who you can rely on. I want to be a good role model. I can laugh about myself, especially when the child in me shows up. I am also patient and understanding. You can always have fun with me and I can promise you that it will never get boring. I drive to school everyday and I also have experience with driving in snow, because I live in an area with snowy winters.

Finally, I taught children age 6 to 11 at a school every other week from September 2016 to March 2017. I started to teach here in high school once I realized my passion for children and did various activities with them in addition to teaching them. Finally, I worked at an Elementary school for children ages 7 to 12 from January 2017 to December 2018 for 2 to 3 days a week.

I want to become an au pair because I have worked with children in the past and even though it was a few years back, I would love to do it again. I started at a young age which means in some ways I could still see eye to eye with the children, and not only be seen as an "older teacher." I am very outgoing, dependable, social, and responsible and I consider these to be key elements in moving to another country and staying with a family. I am good at communicating, and am a very down to earth girl with a smile on my face and a spark in my eyes. In addition to doing gymnastics for 12 years, I also taught children gymnastics. I also have my drivers licence and am first aid certified.

Comments
I would like to be a teacher later and I think that it could be interesting that I teach French to your children and I could also help them to do their homework if they go to school or do arts activities as painting, drawing or modeling clay. I like to bake (even if I am not a professional) but I can make cakes, cookies, pancakes... and it can be fun because I remember how much I loved baking with my mother when I was a child. Moreover, as I like to go for a walk, I could take your children to the park.
