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:

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.

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.

In my opinion every child is different, and as someone who spent time around a few of them, I think I know how to communicate with them. I also want to experience and learn US culture at first hand.

I have experience in caring with children with special needs and am first aid certified. I want to be an au pair because I love to spend time with children and I love to teach and share new things with them. When I teach them something their reactions smiling at me is one of the most important thing in the world. When I deal with them I turn back to my childhood times and remember myself and we are like kids together. Moreover, their energy make me feel good. I am good at feeding them and putting them down for naps. My smile is really effective at making kids feel safe and happy. I strongly believe that I can easily get along with the kids and your family.

Comments
As a nurse, I have helped lots of children as patients which has inspired me to become an au pair to help them this time as a big sister. I want to be the hero they won't forget. I believe heroes don't only help to fight the bad people but also can be nurses to help when you are sick or au pairs to play hide & seek and have fun. As a nurse and future au pair, I hope to be your children's hero. I really want to gain international child care experience, learn American culture, and improve my English skills.
