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 don't only see this program as a form of personal growth since I'll be away from my family but also as a great opportunity since children for me are very important and I love being surrounded by them because they make me feel happy and teach me to see the world in a different way. Being an au pair I'll have many new experiences and being part of a new family excites me a lot. Learning and speaking a new language has always been my dream and as an Au pair I'll be able to fulfill it by doing many other things that I'm passionate about. I consider myself qualified because I've learned a lot during the time I took care of my little cousins, the children of my neighbors and friends, and also attended two different nurseries. Every day there were a different challenge with the babies and the biggest ones (3-5 years old) therefore that experience prepared me very well for this program. I'm also very independent with household chores, making decisions and I easily adapts to new surroundings, I'm observant, responsible and dedicated person.

I want to be an au pair to improve my English, to know new cultures and spending time with kids. The idea of being au pair has been very attractive because when I live in another country I do activities that I like very much. I have looked after children since I was 15 years old, I like to teach them different activities, and encourage them to learn new things. I also want to be an au pair to know, learn and continue growing in a culture like the American where I can develop my English skills much more and I can share a bit of my culture and as a chef share more of the gastronomy of my country and learn from the American gastronomy. I am a very responsible person, loving, mature at the time of taking care of children, I like to share my time with them, and I hope this experience to learn a lot from children and that they can learn much more of me.

Comments
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.

I want to participate in the au pair program because I see it as an opportunity to learn and contribute knowledge to another family. I see it as an opportunity to improve my English, have direct contact with another culture, take courses that can improve my professional curriculum, meet new people, and explore new places. The family that will host me will not regret it because I am very committed, responsible, patient, and creative. Due to my theater classes, I know a lot of games that can distract children for hours.

I am very funny and responsible and I have patience for stay with children. I think that I can help us with your children and their learning. Also I have knowledge related to child care and I know different ways to entertainment the children and teaching different things. When I am with children, I enjoy teaching them a lot of things, for example: different games, songs, go to the playground etc. We have fun together as well, advise that children have more autonomy in the routine at the day, and has doing all for the child are happiest and grow up positive. The second reason is because I love it travel and I have very interest to the other cultures, and I think that is a good change to learning about the other country, meeting different people and important places to USA.

Per a reference: "Ana is the kind of girl that is ready to help you when you need it. She has a nice temperament and is an easy going person. Ana was the nanny of my baby and my older son on weekends and she helped them with some school chores, prepared some meals, and was attentive of my children's needs."
