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 be an au pair because I expect to learn a lot about myself. Moreover, I am convinced I will gain confidence and become more self-sufficient as I will have to create or adopt another way of life for a year. I am not afraid of the challenge but look forward to this new adventure and I am open for every new experience. Not only I expect to learn from the work, the family, the different culture but also from the children I will look after. I am sure to be taught values that I will carry with me for life. I have chosen the USA to spend a year aboard because it is still called “The new world”. It is said to be the land of unlimited possibilities. It stands for freedom and progress. I am also curious about the different traditions, culture and way of life.

I don’t want to sound cliché, but since I started taking care of kids I discovered that they are actually the future of every society and how important it is to give them the tools for creating conscience at their own way, and enjoying the process for. Also I love the energy of being in an interactive relationship with younger lifes. I have learned a lot from kids. And of course I think it’s the perfect experience to meet another culture and learning English. I am very energetic, empathic, creative, meditative and respectful with people around me. The Beatles said once: All you need is Love, and I believe in that.

Since I was a child, I have always liked spending time with babies and children, I enjoy their company because they generate a lot of tenderness and empathy, children teach me that happiness can be found in something very small or very big, you just have to believe and have a little imagination. I want to be a participant in the au pair program because it is an opportunity where I can study and work in something that I like. I am a disciplined, responsible, and loving person so I will respond to my obligations at home, in my study, and in the care of the child. I also know something about the American culture because I have already traveled to the United States, and I know that I will fit in with the family and with their lifestyle.
