The Portuguese can be described as easy-going, welcoming and polite, known to be willing to go out of their way to help others. You and your children will enjoy experiencing this friendliness, attentiveness and other common cultural attributes when you host an au pair from Portugal.And, as people in Portugal respect authority and look to those above them for guidance and decision-making, you can be assured that your Portuguese au pair will likely appreciate clear guidelines from her host family to integrate into your way of life.
In Portugal, almost all children under the age of three are looked after by family or informal babysitters. Nurseries and child care centers are not common, which is typical of a country with a lot of financial support for stay-at-home mothers. In general, your Portuguese au pair will have a lot of babysitting experience from looking after her siblings, cousins and other relatives.
With over 30 years of experience worldwide, EurAupair has successfully connected many host families with their ideal au pairs. We’re excited to give you experience with one of our Portuguese au pairs.
General Facts About Portugal
If you've spoken with other families who have had au pairs, they've probably said that the best thing about the experience was the cultural exchange between their family and the au pair. Your children will have the unique experience of learning an array of riveting facts about the nation, including the following:
- Over 10 million people currently live in Portugal.
- Nearly half a million of these people live in Lisbon, the nation’s capital.
- Portugal has a rich history. While the country became a kingdom in 1139, the city of Lisbon is older than Rome and is one of the oldest cities in Europe.
- Many languages are spoken in Portugal besides Portuguese, including English, Spanish and French.
- Au pairs are a fairly new concept in Portugal.
- The job market often opens for Portuguese au pairs after they come home.
Portuguese Family and Children
Family is the foundation of Portuguese social structure and forms the basis of stability. The extended family is quite close, and loyalty to the family comes before other social relationships. Young people stay with their parents until they get married or find a job that enables them to have their own place. Sometimes grandparents live in the same house as the rest of the family.
Children are very much appreciated; not only the parents but also the older siblings look very carefully after them. When the parents go out, they normally take their young children with them. That is why Portuguese children go to bed later than they do in countries like the USA.
Cultural Norms
In Portugal, punctuality is not seen as important. In fact, it is polite to arrive five minutes late, so punctuality might not be the au pair’s top priority.
Portugal is a generally conservative nation, particularly in the northern part of the country. You’ll likely find that your au pair is initially reserved and avoids displaying exuberant behavior. Handshakes are a common greeting upon an initial meeting, while women who are close friends often kiss each other on each cheek from right to left.
Driving Skills
In order to obtain your driver’s license in Portugal, one needs to pass a theoretical and driving exam, after a minimum of 32 hours of driving practice. People of at least 18 years of age will be allowed to drive. Of course, it is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs when interviewing au pairs.
Education
Similar to in the U.S., the Portuguese begin the school year in September and end in June.Education in Portugal is free and compulsory until the age of 18, when students complete the 12th grade.
English is an optional subject in elementary school, as of 5th grade all students need to study the English language. In average, the English level of our Portuguese au pairs can be described as good. They usually feel more comfortable with written English, at least at the beginning of the au pair program.
A large percentage of Portuguese women attend university, and those who don’t pursue higher education go directly into the workforce or pick up a trade. Many young women appreciate the educational opportunities granted to them by the au pair program.
Religion
Over 80 percent of the Portuguese population professes faith in Roman Catholicism. However, most young people don’t practice their faith regularly, and only about a third of the population regularly attends religious services.
Diet
Most Portuguese individuals eat meat — especially fish — and you’ll find that vegetarianism is rather uncommon. They traditionally prefer heavy dishes made from fish and seafood, beef, dairy, fruits and vegetables.

A love for children is at the heart of my project. As an aunt to four little girls aged 3 months to 3 years, I have learned to adapt to the needs of each age with patience and tenderness. For me, caring for children is a natural calling: I love participating in their development, reassuring them, and watching them grow every day. My degree in Early Childhood Education and my management experience make me an ideal au pair, as I know how to combine kindness with a strong sense of responsibility. I am a reliable, organized, and energetic person. My adaptability and maturity allow me to fully commit to providing children with a joyful, safe, and stimulating environment.

I want to be an Au Pair because children hold a very special place in my life. I love being with them as they discover the world, seeing how they learn something new every day, and being part of those little moments that make great memories. They have a unique magic; their tenderness, joy, and sincere outlook on life always inspire me. I am an empathetic, tender, and loving woman. I am always willing to help, offer support, and create a safe environment where children feel loved, confident, and free to be themselves. I enjoy being present during their small daily achievements and being a guide when they need it. I believe this program is a wonderful opportunity not only to contribute my qualities and care, but also to live a cultural exchange experience that will help me grow as a person, improve my English, and meet new people while being part of a family that allows me to give my best.

I want to become an Au Pair in the USA because I see it as a unique opportunity to combine two of my greatest passions: working with children and discovering new cultures. This experience will allow me to grow personally, improve my English, and become more independent. I consider myself well-qualified for the EurAupair program thanks to my strong background in childcare. I have worked as a babysitter for several years and as a kids’ club entertainer in Greece, caring for international children through games, creative activities, and daily routines. I would describe myself as warm, outgoing, empathetic, and adaptable. I follow rules carefully, communicate clearly, and always do my best to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children.

I have a deep passion for American culture, particularly its language, music, appeal, and landscapes. Caring for children aged 4 to 13 has strengthened my commitment to their well-being and education. I've introduced children to various activities, such as new sports, music genres, cuisines… My top priority has always been children's safety, and I've developed conflict resolution skills. These experiences have allowed me to form meaningful connections with the children I've cared for. That's why I feel qualified to participate in the EurAuPair program. Also, I easily adapt to new environments, having traveled alone across Europe as soon as i turned 18. While my English skills are a work in progress, I'm eager to become an au pair to develop them. This experience is a chance to improve my English and prepare my future career as a flight attendant.

I want to become an au pair in the USA because it brings together many things that are important to me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children. During my volunteer year, I work with children every day and it never gets boring or repetitive. I am patient, loving and caring- even in difficult or stressful situations. Communication is really important to me and I am able to reflect myself and my behavior. With that, I am also pretty family-oriented. Traveling to a new country and completely being on my own doesn’t feel right for me. That’s why my host family is very important to me. I would love to become a part of your daily life and build a warm and trusting relationship. Additionally I have always been fascinated by the USA and being an au pair feels like the perfect way to combine my love for childcare with the chance to experience every day life in the USA.
