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've always wanted to learn about life in America - about American culture, people, American traditions – festivities and celebrations. I want to experience the things that happen across the ocean, the things that I’ve only seen in the movies so far. And Au pair program is a great opportunity to do it and fulfill my dream. And I am also very keen on sharing Latvian culture with my host family. My strength are the ability to find a common language with children. I am very responsible and I like to teach children about different things. It is very important for me to find a common language and shared interests with my host family! I am excited to get a live-in childcare experience and make a difference in children’s lives! I am sure this will be once in a lifetime experience to remember! I want to learn more about the US, its culture and its traditions because they are different from mine. My strength is to find a common language with children. I am very responsible and I like to teach children ( painting, writing). I always wanted to know how life is in the US. I want to participate and experience American cultural festivals. The AP program is a great opportunity for me to improve my English. The program also provides the opportunity to work with children and explore a new country. Spending time and working with children brings me inspiration and fulfillment whereas living in a different country broadens one’s horizons, teaches one to accept different cultures, perceptions, and helps to become a better “world citizen.”

I want to be an au pair because I consider myself a responsible and organized person, with good values and principles that were instilled in my home and from my parents. I consider myself a person with a good sense of humor. I am also very empathic with people and, especially, with children. I have learned to make decisions in unforeseen situations, always considering the best solution. The nobility and innocence of a child generate a lot of tenderness in me, which causes me to love sharing my time with the little ones. In addition, you learn something new and different from them every day. This program offers me to be able to travel to another country and to meet people with a different culture. This program will also fill me with emotion and joy because when living with my new family, I am sure that I will learn new things every day.

Children make me feel happy and warm. I cherish the time staying with them. I consider that the au pair will be a good opportunity for me to obtain more experience in caring and teaching children and learn some American culture. I would like to learn new things and keeping learning with others than through this au pair program, I can learn from this experience to make progress in independence and communication. I really hope I can become a member of your family, experience American culture and spread Chinese culture to host family through this project. That's what I'm looking forward to!

I have experience in caring for children with special needs (Down syndrome). I am first aid certified. I think living away from home will be a great experience to fully grow up as a person and to become independent. I also would love to learn from other people's culture, maybe getting to learn a new language would be amazing for me and also gain the matureness and the experience to take care of children to prepare myself to become a mom at some point in the future. I consider myself qualified to participate in this program since I am a mature, independent person and also pretty responsible and loving with children.

I want to be au pair because I think that the children are the future of the world, it is a better age to teach them values, emotional intelligence, to develop good self-esteem, all through games and artistic activities.

I want to be a participant in this program because from a young age, I have loved to be with kids. I have had a lot of experience watching kids and think this would also be a great experience to do so while living in another culture, teaching others about my culture, and have different adventures. I will always be aware of the needs of the children, be careful with them, and be a part of the family that chooses me.

I am first-aid certified. I want to become an au pair in the USA because I want to live the American way of life together with a family, I also want to get to know all holidays and traditions, and I want to improve my English skills.

I am an organized and well-structured person and can take over responsibility and want to grow from it as well. Being open-minded and attentive is very important. I am definitely a resilient person and probably never was over-challenged and I am uncomplicated and flexible.

I want to be an Au Pair because I love children and I would also enjoy the experience of being able to live within a host family in a different and new culture. I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know new places. I am qualified to be an Au Pair because of my experience in childcare. In addition to my experience in education, I am responsible, trustful and because of the experience I have working with children in the field of education. I believe that bonding is very important for growth and emotional development, so I will encourage them to carry out activities together such as talking, playing, going out and sharing.
