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 am very passionate about working with children and I've dreamed of the au pair cultural exchange program for a long time and want to turn that dream into a reality. I babysat a lot in my teen years, and had a taste of the au pair experience when I did so for 2 months. I took a course (TEFL) that also enlightened me in appropriate ways of approaching different situations with different children. I consider myself not only physically qualified, but also emotionally qualified for this program. I am by nature, an empathetic, caring, and cautious being. I look out for others and enjoy giving. My strength is definitely being people-oriented. Finally, I have experience with children with special needs.

I grew up in a very big family so I'm used to be around children and how playful and active they are. Iâll always be there to help them because theyâre going to be my little brothers and sisters and Iâll take very good care of them. Also, I love learning a new language and cultures and by being an AuPair I could have the best of both worlds. I see this as the major learning experience, because itâs not only about a new culture, itâs about getting to know a whole new world.

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.

I had a very nice childhood and I wish the same for every kid in the world. I will do my best to make that happen for kids in my care. I'll be a kid once more with them and we will grow up together. It's like time travel, the best kind. Success is important to me, I am very happy that a small child is successful and that I am a part of this success. This program will help me improve my English, observe and learn American Culture. Me coming there might be an insignificant thing for the world but it will be a huge opportunity and step into the right direction for me. I have confidence in myself and I hope that you do as well and accept me into your family. I love swimming and I'm good at it, I can teach your child to swim like a fish. By making origami in simple levels, I can contribute to your child's creativity. I can teach them digital design and digital art. For example, painting, drawing.
