Au Pairs From Italy
The Italian culture is reach and diverse, from its architecture, art, fashion, to cuisine! Food is usually a means to tie family members and friends. You can expect your Italian au pair to be well educated, eager to participate in your family life, and to warm up rather easily to your family and child(ren).
For Italians, family is at the center of their lives, providing stability, support, and guidance to one another. Extended family usually live near-by and relatives often meet for gatherings and meals. The family provides financial support and children often live at home while attending post-secondary schools. Children tend to move out late from their parents’ home and remain very close to their family once living on their own. You can expect your Italian au pair to be warm and caring.
EurAupair has been pairing qualified, loving au pairs with American host families for three decades. We know you'll love welcoming an au pair from Italy into your home and enjoying the cultural exchange that occurs when you both share your backgrounds.
General Facts About Italy
Italy has a long history and a rich culture that makes it one of the world's most fascinating places. You'll learn more about the country from your au pair, such as the following facts:
- Italy has 59 million people living in it.
- The country has very uneven population centers, with many people flocking to cities like Rome, the Po Valley and Naples, while countrysides are less population-dense.
- Italian is the official language of Italy, though most people also speak English, and French and German are also spoken.
- Many Italians become au pairs for the opportunity to visit the United States.
- Italians love their families, and their lives are fast-paced but orderly.
- When Italians return to their country after being an au pair, they have better job prospects.
Family Life and Children in Italy
Italian au pairs will likely have gained most of their child care experience doing regular babysitting, usually for relatives, caring for cousins, nephews and nieces, or caring for children in their neighborhood. Some Italian au pairs will also have been camp counselors or educators.
Families enjoy spending time together, especially meal times. Mothers often cook for the family, and extended family will join together for meals. Children help with chores around the home from an early age.
Driving Skills
In Italy, the minimum age to obtain a driver’s license (or learner’s permit) is 18 years old. In order to get a driver’s license, Italians must pass a written exam as well as a practical exam. The cost of driving lessons and of the written and practical exams is not cheap, but more affordable than other European countries.
Since gridlock is common in Italian cities, most drivers have experience in difficult conditions and feel comfortable driving in urban environments.
Education
Italians obtain their secondary education from age 6 and continue through age 16. Many go on to college, which is fairly cheap because most of the schools are supported by the state. College has become more common among young people in recent years, as the international job market becomes more competitive.
Communication and Language Skills
Although English is mandatory in Italian schools, their spoken English skills are not the highest among Western European countries. Their English level will compare to the one of the French and Spanish people. Your Italian au pair will most likely have a better understanding of English in writing and reading so do not hesitate to use written communication especially early on the program.
Unlike in many other European countries, English TV shows are dubbed in Italy, which means Italians do not hear frequent examples of how to pronounce English words. They may get pronunciations wrong at first. In fact, many au pairs want to come to the United States to improve their English skills and get experience speaking the language.
Italians do often use their hands to convey their points and display emotion. They love to talk and will engage socially.
Religion
The vast majority of Italians practice Catholicism, and the head of the religious lives in the Vatican, which is in Rome. The Muslim population has also grown in the country.
Diet
Food plays a central role in Italian life. Preparing food is seen as a way to socialize and show people you care about them. Meals often center on cheese and pasta, and wine also makes an appearance at most dinners. Tomato-based pasta dishes are popular in the south, and, of course, Italians invented pizza. Espresso coffee is also quite popular.

I love working with kids and I have experience working with kids, for me it's just very fulfilling to see a child grow up and know that you had a part in that. I would love to travel to the USA and experience the culture. I am reliable, patient, honest and proactive. Since discovering my love for children I decided that my long term goals in life are opening my own Day Care center and getting a teachers qualification as I work towards my dream. I believe that becoming an au pair is a great step towards my goal because of the experience I will be gaining since I will be in a completely different country I will be able to incorporate the things I learn to my Day Care center and I believe that au pairing in America would be a great advantage to have due to its diversity. It will also allow me to explore all the different cultures of America and make my dream come true to travel. I believe that I will truly be an asset to your family and I canât wait to watch your little ones learn, grow and develop in my time as your au pair.

Throughout my whole life I've loved being of service, during my teenage years I realized that working with kids is one of the most rewarding jobs because the can get the best out of me. When I work with kids I can show all of my strengths, like creativity while teaching them something or coming up with new games for them. Also, I believe that I am a very loyal person and will be the best I can be for the people I work for. Which is why I decided that I want to be an Au Pair, I feel I have a determination and a passion for this job.

** 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 Iâm able to really communicate with everyone. Iâve 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 consider myself qualified because I have been working with children for a long time now. To me, a child is a little universe who will be the future. It is necessary to understand them and show them that life depends on their abilities, and mistakes are opportunities. So, I know that I will do my best effort to make sure they have a big smile on their face and a lot of knowledge. I have learned many things about service, respect, tolerance, patience. Normally, when I am taking care of children I sing, and dance with them. For me is necessary to teach them to paint, to draw and to explore.
Child Care Experience
From February 2010 to March 2013, I worked in a kindergarten for 40 hours a week. This included taking care of the children, guiding and directing their games, organizing outings, and helping during lunchtime. I also worked at a kindergarten from July 2014 to October 2015 for 40 hours per week. Here, I cared for the children during meal times, taught art and coloring, and organized different outings and activities. Finally, I worked with 2 to 4 year olds again in a kindergarten from February to November 2015, twice a week. Here, I mainly organized outings and various activities.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies

I love children because they are our future and I believe that we should do our best if we want a better future for them, also for us. 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 first hand. These are the main reasons why I want to be an au pair. I really want to learn more and gain more experience. I am punctual, curious, creative, artistic, positive, love, first aid certified, patient, and willing. I feel that I am prepared for the challenge of becoming an au pair. The au pair program in the USA would help me grow as a person since interacting with a new culture, new language, new routine, and new people would help me focus more on the road to my future
