Getting to Know Your Au Pair From Germany
A German au pair will enjoy being part of a host family’s life, sharing family activities and making memories together. It is very important in the German culture to be on time; therefore German au pairs are known for being quite punctual. They appreciate clear guidelines and a schedule listing their au pair responsibilities. If any issues or concerns arise you can expect your German au pair to communicate them to you directly; and in return to appreciate honest feedback from you and their au pair contract.
Today's German family has on average one or two children. Even though families are not as large as they used to, it is at the center of one's life and family time is made a priority over some other social commitments. Spending time with immediate and extended family on weekends and during major holidays is very common. Your German live-in nanny will enjoy meeting all members of your family and spending traditional get-togethers with them.
Most young people in Germany finish high school or the equivalent between 16 to 18 years of age. Many then pursue post-secondary studies in larger cities and move away from home to live in their own apartment or share a place with roommates. Therefore, you can expect your German au pair to be quite independent when it comes to household chores, preparing meals and keeping the house tidy.
A live-in au pair from Germany will typically have experience babysitting the children of neighbors, friends and relatives. Many au pairs acquire additional experience by completing internships at a local kindergarten or day care center job in Germany. Quite a few German au pairs qualify as our Par Expérience au pairs: they may be a kindergarten or elementary school teacher or have a degree in social studies for personalized assistance.
In Germany, the minimum age to obtain a driver’s license is 17; but one needs to be accompanied by a parent in the car up to 18 years old with a driving license. It is fairly difficult to pass the written and practical exam, even after having finished driving school and having acquired many hours of driving experience. Most European driver's licenses, including German driver's licenses, are usually harder to obtain than in the United States. Especially in more rural areas, it is very common for young people to have their own car and drive daily to school, the gym or other activities. They should most likely be used to driving in challenging weather conditions, e.g. snow, ice and heavy rain. Of course, it is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs when interviewing au pairs.
Students at German schools are required to learn at least two foreign languages, one of them being English. Most German au pairs have been studying English since 5th grade, so their speaking and writing skills can on average be rated as very good to excellent. Generally, they will feel comfortable communicating in English when arriving to their host family.

Ever since I went on vacation to Florida I knew I wanted to come back to America. This year would enable me, to experience new things, grow to become better at speaking English and other things like problem solving and interpersonal skills. The most important reason is that I love to work with children and care for them. What I enjoyed most about taking care of children, is on the one hand, planning activities with them, like going to the playground, baking and cooking with them and on the other hand, seeing how much they enjoyed our time together and for example seeing how proud they were when we baked cookies together and then turned out good. When I tutored them, I’m always happy when they have good grades and improve their skills. The most important thing I learned, is that every child is different from the other.

I want to become an au pair, because I dream about traveling in a foreign country and improving my English skills at the same time. I have an open personality and I would consider myself as responsible. I get along well with children and I like to spend time with them, that’s why I think an au pair year would be the perfect opportunity for me and for my future family. I’m a very independent person and I’m not afraid of trying something new and taking opportunities that give me experiences for my lifetime. I think becoming an au pair gives you a lot of beautiful memories and helps you to grow your confidence and your mind and that is exactly what I would want for my future self.
