Located in Northern Europe, Sweden is one of the Scandinavian countries, together with Norway and Denmark.

Located in Northern Europe, Sweden is one of the Scandinavian countries, together with Norway and Denmark. Openness and equality are the key values of the Swedish culture; your au pair will expect to be treated fairly but will also treat others with respect. You can expect your Swedish au pair to openly communicate with you.
The family in Sweden is extremely important. It is shown by law and policies (such as one of the best maternity or paternity leave, or the right to reduce your workload until your child is 8 years old) but also by promoting family-friendly environments in restaurants & parks or in public transportation.
In Sweden most children get involved in extra-curricular activities, and this carries through later in life. As a result, your Swedish au pair will most likely have child care experience through coaching children at sports clubs or volunteering in child care related organizations.
Swedes will typically move out of their parents’ home to pursue post-secondary education, unless they study in the same city, in which case they may move out in their mid-twenties. In Swedish families, all family members participate in chores, so you can expect your Swedish au pair to naturally help around the house and with common chores.
In order to obtain a driver’s license in Sweden, one must attend driver’s education classes and a practical class on driving in poor conditions; then come the theoretical and practical tests. A learner’s permit can be obtained at 16 years old and a full driving license at 18. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with au pairs during the interview process.
You can expect your Swedish au pair to be very proficient in English, in reading and writing thanks to the educational system but also in listening and speaking since most content in the media or movies on TV are not translated, only subtitled.

Becoming an au pair would allow me to learn another language which is a fundamental tool for my academic growth and future career. I also love to share with children, learn from them, and teach them. I think that this would allow me for lots of personal growth. This experience is very important to me because it combines my passions, dreams, profession, and vocational training in a single opportunity that will allow me to be a better person, better professional, and continue my life project. I am first aid certified, have a certificate of swimming, have taught saxophone and youth cheer-leading, and have a great ability to multitask and great sense of humor.

For the moment, I'm working at a kindergarten where the children are ages 1 to 5 years old. The kindergarten is specialized in sports and focuses on the children's methodical skills so we play lots of games that are good for their physical development. Additionally, since 2012, I have been a volleyball coach to children weekly with the children ranging from age 5 to 15.

The reason why I want to become an au pair is that I love children and want to experience American culture. I have been encouraged and contacted to apply for a scholarship for school, but I would much rather become an au pair because it will greatly broaden my horizon. I am qualified because I am good with children and housekeeping. Furthermore, I am a considerate and caring person.

I want to be an au pair in order to bring my own culture there, to learn about a new culture and its language, to travel around and see new places, but mostly to become even more responsible. I'm told that I've been one of the best people to look after children and a house because I have a great imagination and I'm caring. I have always wanted to be there for those who couldn't help themselves.

I would like to become an au pair because I see it as a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my dream of seeing America and being able to do so for a year is like a dream come true. Seeing that I have been surrounded by children for most of my life, I know how they work and how they all have different personalities which I don't have a problem adapting to. Being with children is always wonderful and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable to be themselves around me as if I were their older sister. Building memories and getting to see them grow is something that I enjoy.

I want to be an au pair because it is an opportunity to grow as a person and learn about another culture. I really like children and I think they should be in the care of someone who is a great example for the development of their personality. I would like to highlight that I am very responsible, patient, orderly, cheerful, honest, and ready to teach and play with them when they need it.
