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.

I am also excited about the opportunity to learn more about American culture and traditions, like the forth of july and especially about Thanksgiving which is not implemented and celebrated here, while sharing my own cultural background with your family. I believe that this cultural exchange will be enriching for both of us and will help foster mutual understanding and respect. I am the eldest of three children as well as many cousins, which has given me firsthand experience in caring for and managing the needs of younger siblings. This early experience to childcare has shaped my passion for working with children and has instilled in me a sense of responsibility, patience, and empathy

I always dreamed of taking a gap year in the USA after school. For a few years now I had the idea of becoming an AuPair. I think it is a great option for me, because I love children and can live in a different country with the comfort of a family around me. I feel like what would make me a good AuPair is, for one my passion when it comes to children. I always have so much fun with them and it warms my heart, when I make them laugh or they can learn something from me. For second, a great quality of mine is definitely my patience. When it comes to children it often doesn’t work the way you wanted it to, because children don’t always act as you wish. It is very important in those situations to keep calm and don’t put any pressure on the children or on yourself.

I wish to become an au pair, because I love spending time with children. Children are simply wonderful, creative, honest and carefree. I may be an only child, but I spend a lot of time with my little cousins and Ida. They are so cute. I would like to get to know the American way of live and culture, celebrate Thanks Giving and Halloween. My greatest wish is to become part of a large, loving and lively family. Of course I would also like to improve my English language skills. I`m organized, responsible and social. Also I´m creative and athletic. I love the nature.

I would like to become an au pair exchange program participant in the USA because I want to get to know a new culture, improve my language skills, take a break from everyday life and because I have a passion for working with children. I am qualified for the EurAupair program because I am 18 years old, I have experience in childcare, I have good English skills and I am willing to live and work abroad for a certain period of time. I meet the personal suitability for the role as an au pair, such as my sense of responsibility, my flexibility and I have the ability to fit in well with a host family. I feel my strengths are , the neatness, the helpfulness, the friendliness, the patience and the flexibility.

I want to become an Au Pair because I‘ve always been fascinated by the USA. From the movies, the history and holidays everything fascinates me. Which is why it’s been my dream from a very young age to experience the American life. But also working with children is a dream for me. I love working with kids and teenagers, which is why I want to become a teacher later and being an Au Pair is both dreams combined. I think I‘m qualified to participate in the program because being with people makes me complete. My strengths are that I never get bored and I can laugh at myself, but also that I can be very compassionate.

First of all, I love travelling. When I was younger, my family and I visited a lot of German cities. We also hiked in Austria, went camping in France or sightseeing in Belgium and visited my grand-parents in Florida or explored New York. Apart from travelling, I love working with children. In the last years, I was teamleader in various holiday programs where we organized, par example treasure hunts, water games or craft sessions. Last year, I did an internship at an so-called 'early intervention centre', where we help children with specific needs. And therefore a year as an au pair seemed perfect for me.
Child Care Experience
From 01/2018 to 12/2020 I care for Hugo (4) and Hardy (6) for 5 hours a day, 2 days a week. I was responsible for helping with homework, tidying up the children's room together, going to playgrounds, and getting them to bed.

I would be happy to participate in the Au Pair exchange program in the USA because I really love to take care for children and want to become part of a family in the U.S. To get to know the american way of life is one of my oldest dreams. Discovering unknown places, new cultures and making friends on another part of the world is what I appriciate most . Improving my English is one of the nice side effects. I guess this special experience will let me grow in many aspects. Since I have a lot of experience in child care in different constellations I am mostly qualified. One of my biggest strenghts are my sense of responsibilty and my organizational skills. Since I have a very positive attitude it´s easy for my to deal with difficult situations. I am absolutly reliable and always open to something new, helpful and curios.
Child Care Experience
I worked in a kindergarten in July 2024 taking care of a group of children ages 2 to 7 years old.

*** Graduation in October 2025 for Par Experience***. I would like to become an AuPair because I love working with children and taking care of them. I also love traveling and getting to know new cultures and countries. I will be a qualified educator in 2025. Therefore, I think that I am qualified to be an AuPair. My strengths are that I have a lot of experience in dealing with different children through my education. I am also a very flexible and spontaneous person. I deal with the children lovingly and emphatically but also set limits if necessary. I have experience with children aged 1 to 15 years.
