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 have been in the US for vacation and always wanted to see the ‚normal‘ life, not only the sides of being a tourist. Becoming an AuPair means to be a role model for children.

I want to get to know the culture and perfect my English. On top of that, I want to travel more often and really like working with children. Why I want to go to the USA, I have always been fascinated by the States, my grandparents have been to the USA a few times, which is why it became a dream of mine to travel there too. Also, I do not want the tourist experience but rather learning about the culture and visiting non-tourist spots. I feel like my punctuality is one strength of mine, I like to be rather 5 minutes earlier than I have to, so that I will definitely not be late. Like I mentioned earlier I like doing arts and crafts therefore I am really creative and like planning activities. I am a very open person and not afraid to try out new things and drive as much as I can which is why it for sure is not going to be problematic to drive children around.

I would like to do this cultural program because it would be an enriching experience for my personal and professional life, as it would connect my two passions, working with children and traveling, which are the things that I currently consider important in my life. Otherwise, it would be a great to get to know another culture, learn from it and of course that the knowledge acquire would contribute to my relationship with raising children. On the other hand, I consider that the experience I have in children makes me qualified to be part of this program, it is for me a real passion to be in the company of children and to know their little inner worlds.

I love kids and i want to bring more joy for them. During the time when I’m with kids, I have the sensitivity to observe their behaviors and inner emotions so I can take care of them better. I'm young and I think It is actually an advantage to be a someone who looks like a peer inside that knowing children’s mental activity, but has the maturity to be able to handle them with the tact and sensitivity the situation requires. Moreover, I am look forward to experience the life like in America and discover new culture. I can cook, I can drive, I can swim, Im independent. I can speak English also I'm learning other languages.
