What to Expect From Your Au Pair From Namibia

Culture in Namibia is a blend of many different people and its culture and customs have absorbed both African and European elements and fused them into a blend of the two. With just 2.1 persons per square kilometer and a population of 2.5 million, Namibia's different cultures span an impressively diverse population for what is a sparsely populated country.

In Namibia, most households are not nuclear families but contain other kin as well. Parents receive substantial help with child-rearing from other family members. It is not unusual for children to live with other relatives if the parents have work obligations, the child needs to be closer to school, or a relative needs a child's help.

Namibian Au Pairs are hard-working and easy going. They come from a rich and diverse cultural and ethnic background and will bring their knowledge to your family.
