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.

Children are my passion.It will be a dream come true to be an au pair. I've been looking after children for 2 years and I love spending time with them and watch them grow.. I think patience is one of my strength as it is crucial to be patient and cheerful while looking after children. I am always interested in meeting new people, seeing new places and learning about new cultures. I think that all these experiences will add great opportunities to my personality and life. The most important opportunity for me to interact with people from different cultures is to improve my language. Living with you in the U.S. is the best opportunity for me. I feel ready and I hope to be a part of your family.

I am currently a teacher at a primary school. I hold a Post- graduate Certificate in Early Childhood Development. At the school at teach at, I coach soccer, netball, hockey, and chess. I love working with children, being adventurous and trying new things. Through this program, I not only want to fulfill my dream of experiencing other cultures but also enriching children's lives and touching them in a way that will make a difference. I feel that being a teacher makes me more compassionate to the needs of learners both in their daily lives and education. It has always been a dream of mine to live and work in a foreign country and I am excited that it will become a reality soon. I hope to learn more about your familyâs culture and I can teach your family a little about mine.
