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 want to be an au pair because I love children and spending time with them. I like finding different ideas and activities to play with them. When I am surrounded with children, I become the happiest girl because they make me feel energetic and peaceful. I want to help my host family as I can as a sister to their child. The most beautiful feeling about being caretaker is that I can make a difference in childrenâs lives and I can help them to grow up as a fair and moral child. I know that I am a good role model for children. And I love seeing children smiling and laughing. Besides these, I want to meet new culture and new people because I know that it will be a good experience for me. Improving my language is my other reason to be au pair. I am a careful, talkative, positive and helpful person. I really like helping people.

I want to become an au pair because of my fascination and experiences with children and also because I really want to get to know your country and culture. I think that I am qualified for this program because I have always liked to work with children and I also did really well with them; just like the saying "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Even though I'm not working in child care at the moment, I have a 2 year old sister and I take care of her whenever I can. I feel that my primary strengths are being patient, careful, attentive, and focused.

I want to be an Au pair because it includes two of my passions: taking care of children and improving my English while learning US culture. I love children very much. I think children have a separate world and I love being there with them. Whenever there are children around me, I am always a happy and positive person and to be happier I want to become an au pair, to be next to my little friends. I know being an au pair is a serious job as much as it is fun, but I am a responsible, cheerful and hardworking person with many other strengths enough to enjoy this journey. I would describe myself as reliable, polite, patient and positive. I always try to be friendly and helpful to other people. Responsibility is very important for me.
