Au Pairs From Thailand
Located in South-East Asia, Thailand is known for its tropical beaches, royal palaces, tuk-tuks and spas. Thailand is one of the most visited South-East Asian nations. Thais are typically very respectful, open-minded and are among the friendliest people in the world. When you host an au pair from Thailand, you'll learn more about this fascinating culture, and your children will find that you share more in common with other cultures than they might have thought.
Family is a big part of one’s life in Thailand. Your Thai au pair is likely to have two siblings. Thais are very caring and will help their parents taking care of their younger siblings or look after their neighbor’s or friend’s children as well. They have a lot of experience babysitting from this family structure, and they may look after extended family as well. Thais will live with their parents until they start their first job.
For more than three decades, EurAupair has been facilitating the culture exchange allowing au pairs from Thailand and other countries to come to the United States and assist a family in need of child care. You and your child will both learn new things when you meet your Thai au pair.
General Facts About Thailand
By hosting a Thai au pair in the U.S., your family will discover many things about Thai culture, such as the following:
- The population of Thailand is 68 million.
- The capital city of Bangkok is home to many individuals, with a population of 8.3 million.
- Life in Thailand is fast-paced in Bangkok but much more laid back in the villages along the coast and the gorgeous islands that draw tourists.
- The vast majority of residents of Thailand speak Thai, though Burmese is also spoken by some.
- Many in Thailand welcome the chance to become an au pair in order to improve their English skills and gain better job prospects upon returning home.
- They may also want the opportunity to visit the United States.
Family Life and Children in Thailand
Because family is central to life in Thailand, many au pairs have experience caring for children from a young age. They'll often watch kids under the age of two. Many Thai au pairs get their first jobs in daycare centers, giving them experience in a structured child care environment.
Thai children respect their parents and value their opinions. They often come home from college every weekend to spend time with family while earning their degrees.
Driving Skills
A driver’s license can be obtained at 18 years old, after taking a written and practical exam. Many Thais will use public transportation if they live in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, as it is well developed and is a popular way of transportation there. Thais living outside of the capital will drive their own car. Thais are used to driving small vehicles, in rainy weather, on highways or in the countryside. However, they don’t have much experience driving in the snow! It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with au pairs during the interview process.
Education
School education in Thailand is 12 years long and is free to students going to public schools. Parents put a priority on education for their children. Most Thais are college graduates. Education coursework during the program year is very important for your Thai au pair.
English is taught at an early age by Thai teachers, from primary school to high school. Grammar and writing skills are emphasized; therefore most Thais are better in writing than speaking. However, they know a lot of vocabulary, and Thai au pairs improve their spoken English very quickly when they arrive in the United States.
Communication and Language Skills
Since they learn English so young, most Thais have a basic command of the language and are looking for opportunities to practice speaking. They may need encouragement to communicate when something is bothering them, due to their hierarchal culture that demands politeness and respect of their elders. Reach out to them and encourage them to talk to you if you sense that they're homesick.
Religion
While Thailand has no official religion, the law demands the king be Buddhist. Most people in Thailand are also Buddhist, though there are also some Muslims and a small number of Christians.
Diet
Thai people love food, and they show their love of their family by preparing it. Thais rely heavily on woks and mortars and pestles to prepare dishes featuring lots of fresh vegetables and lean meat or seafood. Their food has a reputation for spiciness thanks to the chilies and garlic used in many recipes.

Secondly, since I was a little girl it was my biggest dream spending a year in the USA, learning a new culture, meeting new people and living in an American family as a new member. In addition to this, I believe that this is a big chance for me because I could improve my English skills to get a scholarship or to get a better job to improve my profile. I have the qualifications suitable for being an Au pair I am patient careful, responsible and honest and I have enough experience.

First I love children and I'm happy when I take care of them. They are happy, I am also happy. They need someone to develop behavior, body, and brain. I think I can do it very well. Second I would like to improve my English with native speakers. I want to be part of an American family. I think I'll gain new opportunities to improve myself with this program and these memories will be treasure forever.

Comments
I would describe myself as a reliable, friendly, optimistic, and open-minded person who is interested in getting to know new countries and people. I want to earn new experiences from the Au Pair program as much as possible. The reason why I choose the U.S. is because I have been there once and I so appreciated the time that I spent there so much and I think that I live in the U.S. for one year or more it’s a big opportunity to improve my English and to improve myself and my sense of responsibility too. The Au Pair program sounds interesting to me because I used to work with children. So, I decided to participate in the Au Pair program. I’m looking forward to learning all about your country and I would like to become a part of your family.
Child Care Experience
Since October 2019, I've worked in a kindergarten taking care of a group of children between the ages 2 to 11 for 40 hours/week. Since 2014, I've been occasionally caring for Yuwarin (6) since she was a baby. I fed her, changed her diapers, and bathed her when she was a baby. I pick her up from school now and tutor her English. Between March and August 2019, I worked at a private school tutoring English for children from ages 3 to 18 years.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies

Comments
I love traveling and I also love working with kids. Caring for kids is something that I know I can do very well. Therefore, an au pair program is a good choice and opportunity for me to do both things: taking care of kids and traveling. I think this whole experience of living abroad with a host family can help me reflect myself and broaden my worldview which will be beneficial for my professional future and further education that I have planned to pursue in the future. I’m qualified to participate in this program because of my childcare experiences. I’ve been both, a tutor and a teacher, for some years. Getting to teach children from preschoolers to high school students makes me know the similarities and differences of children at each age group. Handling many kids at the same time is unavoidable and flexibility is needed in my work especially when teaching or caring for younger kids. I’m open to learn more about other cultures and to adapt to live with people from different backgrounds because I get to work with foreign volunteers all the time.
Child Care Experience
In June 2020, 3 days a week, 8 hours a day, I babysat Muay (2). I fed him and we played. In July 2020, 8 hours a day during the week days, I took care of Hansa Irin (2) and Eye Pen Pluem (5). I taught them English, we played and I helped them go to the toilet.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Watching series or movies on Netflix, playing games, listening to music, playing handball and badminton.
Comments
I would like to become an au pair exchange in the USA because I would like to improve my English skills and learn more American culture. I was a host family for an American student when I was in high school for 2 weeks. It was very good experienced. Also, I love kids. I used to take care of my cousins when they were young and my mom is nanny teacher as well. Most of my life always with kids. Hence, the USA is developed country in the world and there are a lot of things to learn there. So, it would be great if I could live there and learn different culture
Child Care Experience
From July until August 2020, I was working for a daycare center and took care of children between 2 and 4 years. I prepared activities for them, helped with preparing lunch for them as well, and supported them during playtime in- and outdoors. I was also helping them with bathroom needs, changing clothes, and changed diapers. In addition, I also took them to bed for their afternoon nap time. Moreover, I took care of Thanawat (4 years) from July until August 2020 as well as of Yanutchara (2 years). When I was responsible for them, I did the same as mentioned above (with the children in the daycare center).
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
reading, crafting, singing, doodling, cooking, taking pictures, traveling, video gaming, coloring, playing Badminton
Comments
I want to become an au pair because I love being with children. Every child really is a bundle of joy so being around them makes me so happy and also they help me see things from a whole new perspective. I want to step out of my comfort zone and being in a totally different environment will greatly help me become more independent and more confident. I’d like to meet new people, make new friends, build a good relationship with my host family, learn new cultures, as well as share my Thai culture. My strength is that I don’t give up so easily. I’m patient, creative, caring, responsible, and kind. I believe that this opportunity will help me grow as a better version of myself. I’m sure that I could be a big sister to your children and we will have a fun and unforgettable year together.
