Most people in Taiwan — a charming island state in East Asia — have traditional values based on Confucian ethics. These values remain strong, including piety toward parents, ancestor worship, a strong emphasis on education and work. You can expect your Taiwanese au pair to be very respectful and to want to be a part of your family. Reserved at first, your au pair will love to bond with your children and will probably have no issues picking up on your family’s routine.
EurAupair has been pairing host families and au pairs for over 30 years, and we're confident that you'll love your experience with one of our Taiwanese au pairs. Learning about the rich and unique Taiwanese culture from a live-in au pair is a highly rewarding and flexible option for your children's care.
General Facts About Taiwan
Hosting an au pair gives you and your children the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn more about her unique culture and customs. When you host an au pair from Taiwan, you'll learn fascinating facts about the country, including that:
- Over 23 million people live in Taiwan, making it the 17th most densely populated area in the world.
- Almost three million people live in the bustling capital city of Taipei.
- Mandarin is the country's official language, but other languages include English, Japanese and Vietnamese.
- The Taiwanese place a high emphasis on commitment and harmony.
Family Life and Children in Taiwan
Most couples in Taiwan will have one to two children. Grandparents may be living together with their children and grandchildren. Your Taiwanese au pair will most likely have experience caring for nephews or nieces, or by doing internships or trainings at school. Education is very important so you can expect your Taiwanese au pair to be good at helping with homework, teaching to count, etc.
The Taiwanese highly value honor and respect toward their elders, and multigenerational homes are common throughout the country. Most Taiwanese au pairs will treat you and any other adult relatives living in your home with the utmost care and respect. They might offer you their seat or wait for you before they begin eating.
Education
Public education is mandatory in Taiwan from nursery school to junior high. Students can further their education through high school and university after taking a series of national exams.The majority of Taiwanese high school graduates will further their studies, although they may continue to live at home until they graduate. Even so, they will typically participate in household chores from an early age and be quite independent.
Those who graduate with a Taiwanese education achieve some of the highest scores in the world, particularly excelling in math and science. The literacy rate is also extraordinarily high, at over 98 percent. Memorization is valued throughout schools in Taiwan, so you may find that your au pair is particularly good at memorizing your instructions.
English Language Skills and Communication
English is a compulsory subject taught in schools from Grade 3 and up. There has also been a huge growth of English immersion schools in the past decade, with teachers from English-speaking countries. Although speaking may be a little difficult at first, you can expect your Taiwanese au pair to be very eager to speak and improve!
The Taiwanese often prefer an indirect style of communication. Rather than asking questions that require a direct yes or no, ask open-ended questions to your au pair to allow them to contemplate answers. She may also often communicate non-verbally with gestures such as waving the palm back and forth to indicate a negative response.
Driving Skills
A driver’s license can be obtained at 18 years old, after taking a written and practical exam. Many people will own a scooter driver’s license which is a popular means of transportation. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with your au pair during the interviewing process.
Religion
The three major religions in the country are Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Religious beliefs are diverse and incorporate aspects of traditional Chinese culture. Many behaviors and beliefs, such as deep respect for elders, stem from these religious concepts.
Diet
Pork, chicken and seafood are popular meat options, but your Taiwanese au pair may eat a primarily vegetarian diet due to the country's Buddhist influence. Rice and soy are both staples of a Taiwanese diet, and many drink tea or coffee throughout the day.

I want to become an au pair because I want to improve my English while doing what I like: spending time with children, doing activities with them (like going to the park, painting, and playing sports), and taking care of them. Children bring out the best in me; when I'm with children, I consider myself as a creative, patient, responsible, hardworking, and competent person.

Comments
I am first aid certified. When I was 8 years old and I first came in touch with parts of the american culture , mostly music and movies,I have become obsessed with the idea of travelling to that exact country. Now that I grew up a little I still crave to fulfill that childhood dream of mine. In my teenage years I have spent a lot of time with my family. As my parents are lucky enough to have plenty of siblings, I can call a significant number of children my cousins. That is why I have gotten my first experience with children care quite early. As the oldest cousin I was the one with all the responsibility which made me develop into a very mature and independent human being. But nonetheless, I know how to entertain children of every age with various activities due to my experiences. All in all, I just love spending time with children and seeing them happy just fills my heart with joy.

I have experience in caring with children with special needs and teaching. I used to be a camp counselor for children with special needs. I am a responsible, cheerful, affectionate and athlete person. Right know I am finishing my Degree to become a Primary School teacher. I really want to be able to work as a teacher in Spain. Nowadays English is very important to work as a teacher, many schools are bilingual, so we need to master our language skills, that is why I have chosen the Au pair Program. I want to improve my English by doing what I love the most, teaching and taking care of children. I consider myself as a ambitious person because I love setting goals and objectives to achieve and this year for me this trip to the United States would be one of those goals to reach.

I want to be an au pair because I love kids. I would like to improve my English language skills and be fluent in English.

Due to my strong communication skills with children, parents always trust me about their kids care and they express their confidence in me while spending time with the kids I have always been careful, responsible and patient and like this my job. I am aware that is important not to leave children alone at home or in the car and park. While taking care of kids and driving my primary concern is children safety. Safety is the most important thing.

I have experience in caring for children with special needs such as ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy and blindness. I want to be an au pair because I love children and cultural exchange, in addition I would love to improve my English and to have a big personal growth. I am looking for new challenges and I am very flexible and an affectionate person, respecting people that grew with different habits than me. With my dedication, I believe this is going to be a really interesting experience to me and to my host family. Working as a teacher I am developing respect for the human beings I am dealing with, I am developing a lot of patience and receptiveness because each one has something to share. I usually learn a lot with children and they frequently consider me a very affectionate person. Because of my pursuit of new challenges, I believe that to be an Au Pair is going to be a great experience.
