Spain is a true Southern European country meaning that Spanish people are likely to be very sociable and rather at ease to communicate. You can expect your Spanish au pair to be outgoing, eager to participate in your family life, and to be rather flexible with schedules and family rules.
Family is a critical part of one’s life in Spain. Although the average number of children per family is quite low, ‘family’ in Spain means extended family (grandparents, uncles/aunts, cousins). Relatives often live very close to one another and everyone participates in the development of the younger children. Children often move out late from their parents’ home and maintain a close-knit relationship with their family. You can expect your Spanish au pair to be very caring and to do well in a family with several children.
Spanish au pairs will likely have good experience in doing regular baby-sitting, usually for relatives, caring for cousins, nephews and nieces. Spanish au pairs are often very at ease with children for having been surrounded by children most of their lives.
Spanish drivers are quite safe and respectful of rules (speed limit, phone usage, use of seat belt, etc.) compared to some other European countries. In Spain one can obtain a driver’s license at 18 years old, after passing a written and practical exam.
Although English is taught in school, the Spanish people are not the most fluent in English among Western European countries and their English level will compare to the one of the French and Italian people for example. Your Spanish au pair will most likely have a better understanding of English in writing and reading so do not hesitate to use written communication especially early on the program.

Child Care Experience
I babysat triplets Anna, Maria, and Gabriel (9mths) for 20 hours a week since March 2019 and currently still watch them. I make them baby bottles or food, change their diapers, bathe them, doing exercises to strengthen their muscles and minds, and play with them. For two weeks in May 2019, I worked at a workshop for art and film makeup with groups of children ages 9 to 12 years old. Finally, from June to July 2015, I worked at a summer camp where I watched 15 children ages 6 and 7 for 25 hours a week. I took care of them, did different activities with them, went to the pool with them, did mountain excursions with them, helped plan theater performances with them, and helped with their homework.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Reading, watching movies & TV series, participating in escape rooms, drawing, going to cultural events, going to the movies, spinning, dancing, and trekking.
Comments
I want to be an au pair because I love taking care of children and would love to learn about different cultures in addition to sharing my own with a family. I think this would be a very unique growing experience for myself. I think my strengths are being good with children, being fun but also responsible, being good at multi-tasking, being a leader and taking direction well, being open minded, being adaptable, and being very mature.
