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 took care of Lucca, who was 2 years old, from June 2023 to August 2023. My responsibilities included lifting him up, making breakfast, dressing him, and entertaining him with various activities. For example, we would go to the park, go to the beach, swim together in the pool, and play with the ball. I also made lunch, bathed him occasionally, put him to sleep, played games, raced, sang together, and built castles. I also cared for Nina, who is 2 years old, from October 2023 to the present. I occasionally take care of her on weekends, during vacations, and on holidays. I put her to sleep, made her food, and spent time drawing with her. We made Christmas cookies and cakes, played with dolls, watched mostly princess movies, played hide and seek, and went for walks. I also taught her songs from High School Musical, and we sang them together. Lastly, I took care of Antonio, who was 1 year old, from May 2022 to May 2023. I cared for him every weekday for about 2 hours a day over the course of one full year. My duties included preparing snacks, changing diapers, taking him for walks, playing with him, and providing general care.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Learning languages, hiking in the mountains, playing sports, reading, spending time with my friends and family, watching Christmas movies, listening to music in English, walking, going to the gym, cycling, ballet, ice skating, dancing, soccer and basketball.
Comments
I would love to be an au pair because I love children, I have always connected with them, and I enjoy spending time with them. I also really like traveling and getting to know new cultures and languages, and above all, meeting new people. I consider myself qualified because I have experience with children and I get along very well with them.
