Au Pairs From Finland
Finns are usually described as reserved, quiet and introverted. But wait until you get to know them: you will find them warm, sincere, and hospitable with a great sense of humor! People from Finland are very punctual and appreciate other people being the same. They value honest and open communication, so your Finnish au pair will be comfortable discussing any issues or concerns directly with you.
Most Finnish parents work full time, but spend a lot of time in the evenings and on weekends with their children, taking them to different hobbies and helping with homework. Since both parents work outside the home, children learn to become independent at an early stage which means you can expect your au pair from Finland to be used to doing household chores, preparing meals, etc. Families have on average 2-3 children, so your Finnish au pair will most likely have siblings.
At EurAupair, we've been connecting host families like yours with exceptionally well-qualified au pair candidates for three decades. We're confident that you'll have an outstanding experience with one of our Finnish au pairs.
General Facts About Finland
When you invite a Finnish au pair into your home, you'll learn about the culture and history of their country. The following facts are some things you should know before your au pair arrives:
- The population of Finland is just 5.51 million. To put that in perspective, it's less than the population of New York City.
- The population has grown very slowly over recent years, though there's a small but notable influx of immigrants.
- The top languages spoken in Finland are Finnish and Swedish.
- A great number of Finnish people want to be au pairs because they want to experience life in the United States.
- Finnish au pairs see a greater number of job opportunities upon returning home.
- Kids in Finland are independent and trusted by their parents, and au pairs are used to having time on their own.
Family Life and Children in Finland
In Finland, parents have access to free daycare for children age eight months to five years, so you can expect your au pair to have child care experience through working at a daycare center or kindergarten, in addition to babysitting her neighbor’s children, cousins or younger siblings. Some au pairs from Finland might also have experience as a camp counselor during holiday or church camps.
Very often, young people in Finland sharpen their skills with children by leading groups of them from a young age. For instance, they might coach a youth soccer team or volunteer at a nearby camp. This activity gives Finnish-speaking au pairs practical experience with kids that they can draw on when they're caring for your children.
Driving Skills
In order to obtain your driver’s license in Finland, one needs to have acquired a minimum amount of instructed driving in addition to theory lessons. After passing a theoretical and driving exam, people of at least 18 years of age will be allowed to drive. Of course, your Finnish au pair will also be used to driving in challenging weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow or hail. Of course, it is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs when interviewing au pairs.
Education
The Finnish school system is renowned for its high academic standards and results. With English being a mandatory subject starting at elementary school, Finns usually have very good English skills; in fact, they are amongst the best English speakers in Europe. Your Finnish au pair might also be able to speak Swedish fluently, as it is the second official language in Finland.
Sports are an important facet of education as well. Many Finns enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing and ice skating. Because of the long daytimes during the summer, they can spend a great deal of time outside, enjoying nature. This common interest sparks many lessons, and teachers often incorporate the outdoors and physical education into their curriculum.
Communication and Language Skills
On Finnish TV, programs are shown in their original language. Many Finnish children watch English television shows and movies and learn dialect and pronunciation from these examples. Of course, knowing how to speak the language and doing it in a live setting are two different things, and your au pair may need some encouragement to display their English skills.
Finns may be shy the first time they meet someone. It helps to engage them by talking about things they feel comfortable with and show enthusiasm for, such as sports and nature.
Religion
The majority of residents in Finland are Christian, including many Protestants. A large number are atheist, while a small minority practice Islam or Hinduism.
Diet
Finnish cuisine largely mirrors that of other Scandinavian countries. It relies on common ingredients such as berries, seafood and buttermilk as well as rye and barley. It's not unusual for Finns to eat reindeer too, for protein. Because of the harsh weather in Finland, the country imports a lot of its food rather than growing it.

I embarked on this journey because I want to experience new emotions and challenges. My lifelong dream has always been to visit America, and what better way to explore it than through this incredible opportunity? I consider myself a responsible, independent, and proactive person with strong empathy and a great ability to adapt. I believe I am well-suited for this experience because I genuinely love children and enjoy spending time with them, constantly engaging in new and exciting activities. One of my greatest strengths is creativity - I can turn even the simplest things into fun and memorable experiences for myself and others. Another key strength is patience; I rarely lose my temper, but I hold myself to high standards. I always expect a lot from myself, and for me, losing patience would feel like a personal failure.

I love being in contact with children and teaching them new things, such as French. I’d love to spend time with them, playing, having fun and helping them through their daily lives. I can be very patient with children and in general in everyday life. I’m also very punctual, which I think is an essential quality for an au pair. I want to partake in the au pair exchange program in the United States because I want to discover a new culture and a new country. I've always loved American films and TV series, I want to see their daily lives and the many festivals like Halloween, which is celebrated a lot in this country, whereas in France that's not the case.

First of all, I love spending time with children; they are the most loving and fun beings, and they help me grow so much as a person through everything they do. Growing up in Colombia has given me a deep appreciation for my culture and language, which I want to share with my future host family. My previous experience as a nanny has equipped me with the skills to teach children to read, write, and engage in creative activities like arts and crafts. I am patient, adaptable, and dedicated to creating an enriching environment that supports children's growth and development. Additionally, I would love to learn about their culture and improve my English. I hope to have a positive impact and learn from this enriching experience.

I want to become an au pair because it's a great opportunity to improve my English while experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and exploring new places. Being part of a respectful and caring family would allow me to fully immerse myself in their way of life. I'm especially looking forward to celebrating important holidays like Easter, 4th of July, and Thanksgiving with a welcoming family that would make me feel like a part of their group. I believe I'm a great fit for the EurAupair program because I'm responsible, caring and experienced in taking care of children.

I am passionate about working with children and have a lot of experience in extracurricular activities and summer schools, in addition to being trained in primary school teaching. This experience will allow me not only to contribute to the development of children, but also to improve my English and live an enriching cultural experience. I consider myself a very open and curious person, always willing to try new things. I love exploring different activities and rarely say no to a plan. I am a daring person who enjoys challenges and am not afraid to face new experiences, whether it’s learning something different or adapting to new environments. I believe this attitude makes me a great candidate to be an au pair, as I am always looking for opportunities to grow and have fun while helping children do the same. I am responsible, organized, empathetic, friendly, and creative.
