Peru
Peru, third largest country in South America, is made up of a variety of landscapes, from mountains and beaches to deserts and rain forests. Most people live along the coast of the Pacific Ocean, where the capital, Lima, is located.

Peru, third largest country in South America, is made up of a variety of landscapes, from mountains and beaches to deserts and rain forests. Most people live along the coast of the Pacific Ocean, where the capital, Lima, is located. Peruvians are, in many aspects of their lives, rather reserved, and will warm up to your family and children with a little bit of time. Typically, your Peruvian au pair will succeed when provided a set schedule and tasks.
On average there are five people per household in Peru. Parents have two to three children and, with strong family values and a high sense of unity, a household may extend from the nuclear family. Peruvians are very proud of their food and cuisine so you can expect your au pair to happily share Peruvian dishes with you.
Peruvian children tend to live with their parents until getting married and starting their own household. But while living with their parents they participate in all chores and help around the house.
Many Peruvian au pairs will have gained child care experience by working/volunteering at a school or day care. They will most likely also have experience babysitting their younger siblings or young relatives, such as their nephews/nieces or cousins.
In Peru, one can obtain a driver’s license at 18 years old, although it’s quite rare for families to have a car available for the children so practicing driving may be somewhat limited. There is a written and driving exam required to obtain a driver’s license. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with your au pair.
Most Peruvians au pairs will start learning English in high school, although many will seek private lessons in order to improve their English skills. Reading and writing will typically be easier than listening and speaking, although the latter should improve rather quickly.

I want to be Au pair, because I like to leave my comfort zone, I like children, I also love cultural exchange because I worked with an NGO and met people from different countries, so I would love to know in depth the customs, tastes and landscapes of your country. I like the challenges and I feel that this experience will help me grow as a person and professionally because by taking this experience I'll improve my English. On the other hand I consider that I am ready for the program because I love children and this experience will be part of my personal and professional life plan. I feel nerves, nostalgic, lots of happiness and personal satisfaction to make this decision, my biggest strength is that I am a person with high resilience, I like to see the positive side of life and learn from the bad, I'm happy and I want to leave beautiful memories to every place where I go.

I would assist the children with everyday activities, supervise excursions and field trips, help them eat and get dressed, and play with them.

I want to become an au pair because I like new adventures and learning about different cultures. I have previously done school exchanges to the UK and France and I enjoyed the expereinece of being away from home without getting homesick. The USA has been interesting to me since I was a little child and I would love to live there for a year and learn about the culture and American way of life. I am the right person to take care of your children because I am very reliable, love to plan activities and go on excursions, I am very flexible, and I look out for the needs of the children. Additionally, I like to do everything from cooking, to playing soccer, to doing crafts with children. I am first aid certified and I have taken a course where I learned how to care for children.

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.

Comments
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 have always loved taking care of children and playing with them. I am the big sister so I am used to being after my siblings. My parents are divorced and my dad used to have some au pairs at summer for my little sisters. I sometimes helped them and I liked the idea of becoming an au pair. When I started studying the Childhood Education degree I knew I wanted to be an au pair in the USA, but first I had to finish university. I think the USA is an interesting country, I want to learn the culture and practice (and improve) my English. In my opinion, it is an important language to communicate with people around the world. I am an easy going person, I think that itâs easy living with me, and I love to help with everything I can. I try to be open and to fit in with the host family. I also think I am good with children and that they can feel comfortable with me.

My strongest qualitty applicable to becoming an au pair is my interest in children. I am responsible, kind, friendly, level-headed, and first aid certified. I can play the same game 100 times or hear the same radio song over and over. I follow rules very strictly and motivate the children to do the same. I am very happy to meet new people and to be apart of another family. I will definitely be a great part of your family and take a lot of responsibility. I also have expert knowledge in pedagogy and child psychology.

There is several reasons why I want to become an Au Pair in the exchange program. The most important reason of course is that I have a passion for working with children. I also want to learn more about America. I work well with children and have a lot of patience to work with them. I love doing arts and crafts with kids. I have a very good experience helping with homework and I am a good swimmer.
