Norway is a country in Scandinavia that borders Finland and Sweden. When you host an au pair from Norway, you and your children will have the opportunity to learn first-hand about a culture and place in the world that is different from your own. Just as importantly, your au pair will have the same opportunity! Norway has a rich history and your au pair will have a wonderful time sharing about it while she is a part of your family.
General Facts About Norway
Your Norweigan au pair will teach you many things that you might not know about Norway, such as:
- Norway's population is over 5.2 million.
- The country is home to the most fjords as part of its landscape than any other country.
- Norwegian is the official language, but almost every citizen also speaks English because it is taught as a second language in school.
- The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway's capital, and the recipients are chosen by a panel of native Norwegians.
Your au pair will tell you fascinating facts just like these and many more when you welcome her into your family.
Family Life and Children in Norway
The family is very important to the people of Norway. In fact, parental leave is a national institution. It allows parents to recover and bond with their children after their birth. Typically, Norwegians do not have more than two children. But even with a relatively small family unit on average, familial bonds are strong in Norway. Your Norwegian au pair will proudly demonstrate this dedication to family while caring for your children.
Driving Skills
You can't get a driver's license in Norway until you turn 18. And you have to get through a process before you're given your license. First, you have to take a four-day class about basic driving concepts, first aid, and how to react after an accident. Next, you have to pass a theory exam and then a practical exam. Even after you receive your license, you have to get through a two-year trial period where you could potentially lose your license and have to start the process again.
Education
School is mandatory for children between the ages of 6 and 16 in Norway. From 6 to 13, children are in elementary school and then move to lower secondary school from 13 to 16. After finishing lower secondary, children can continue on to upper secondary school for more general education and vocational courses. After two years in upper secondary, they go on to enter apprenticeships and learn new skills onsite.
Communication and Language Skills
The official language of Norway is Norwegian, but Bokmal, Nynorsk and Saami are also recognized. Many people in Norway also speak English and even another language, like German, French or Spanish.
Religion
The majority religion in Norway is Christianity, which makes up around 75% of the population. The next most common affiliation is those who are not affiliated with any specific faith, making up about 16% of the population.
Diet
Similar to many families in the United States, Norwegians eat three or four main meals during the day, with a hot meal with family at dinnertime being the main one. Traditional dishes include krumkake, lutefisk and farikal.

I would like to be an au pair because I love to work with children and I’m also looking to participate in an exchange program abroad, which will provide me a unique experience, not just for improving my English but also for my personal and professional life and I believe the au pair program fits perfectly within my goals. I consider myself qualified because I was always an easy going person that loves to listen and help people, had studied psychology for about 1 year. I have had experience with children for a long time, with many different ways like taking care of them, teaching, playing and this always made me happy. In my family, we always learned to respect the others and consider what they have to say, being aware of our differences and working together with our strenghts.

Comments
I love children and I love spending time with them, and because of the love I have for kids, I would be more than happy to spend an eventful year taking care of them. From my past experiences with children I've learned to understand that how you behave towards children will definitely have direct impact on how they behave towards you, and understanding that is one of my strengths. My calm, patient, loving, caring, and understanding nature will make me a great au pair because I enjoy helping children grow and develop by listening to their opinions on things and their ideas.
Child Care Experience
From July until August 2020, I was working for a daycare center and took care of children between 2 and 4 years. I prepared activities for them, helped with preparing lunch for them as well, and supported them during playtime in- and outdoors. I was also helping them with bathroom needs, changing clothes, and changed diapers. In addition, I also took them to bed for their afternoon nap time. Moreover, I took care of Thanawat (4 years) from July until August 2020 as well as of Yanutchara (2 years). When I was responsible for them, I did the same as mentioned above (with the children in the daycare center).

I want to become an au pair because I love being with children. Every child really is a bundle of joy so being around them makes me so happy and also they help me see things from a whole new perspective. I want to step out of my comfort zone and being in a totally different environment will greatly help me become more independent and more confident. I’d like to meet new people, make new friends, build a good relationship with my host family, learn new cultures, as well as share my Thai culture. My strength is that I don’t give up so easily. I’m patient, creative, caring, responsible, and kind. I believe that this opportunity will help me grow as a better version of myself. I’m sure that I could be a big sister to your children and we will have a fun and unforgettable year together.

I want to become an Au Pair because I like to spend time with children. I also want to be part of a host family, getting to know their culture and language from within, sharing with them and their children, bringing a bit of my culture so that they can get to know it. I am a creative, responsible, honest, loyal and willing person to give my best in this new challenge in my life. I love to prepare different recipes from my country and I would like to share them with the children. I am a good driver, I have four years of experience and this would make it easier for me to transport children to their activities. I am a creative person and I can help you with your crafts and homework and I have a baby sitter course.

You know there’s always that one adult entertaining and running after the kids at all kinds of get togethers and events? That’s me! I love been around kids. Seeing things through their eyes and from their perspectives. Since I was a child I was always helping my aunts and family friends with bath time, homework, feeding time, nap time, you name it and I was involved. I thought this was just a phase until I realized it's a passion. Being around children is so rewarding, teaching them, watching them develop and learning a thing or two from them, it’s all very exciting to me.

I have always been involved with taking care of kids and tried to improve my language skills.

I am very excited to become part of your family.

I have a passion for children and I enjoy learning new things. By being an Au Pair I can do both things that I like. My strengths are the fact that I am an extrovert and outgoing, I will make friends easily and hopefully be able to create bond with the children quickly. I want to learn more about children and spend my time with them wisely by teaching them the beauty of life. I want to go to the USA because I would really like to learn more about the American culture and live life from an American point of view. I can teach children to play hockey and to swim. I can also do hockey coaching.

I have experience in caring for children with special needs. I am first aid certified. I want to become an Au pair because I think that it's a great chance to learn about new cultures, traditions, costumes and people around the world, besides I will improve my second language and I will be able to share a little about my culture and traditions with other people. And, I consider that I'm qualified to take part in this program because I have a lot of experience taking care of kids, besides, I meet all the requirements that the agency requests in order to be a good Au Pair. Regarding my strengths, I've always considered myself an honest, respectful, responsible, creative, and hardworking girl that enjoys helping people with their needs or problems.
