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 want to be an au pair because I enjoy spending my time with children. I would like to become a part of the lives of the children I would take care of and have a positive impact on them. Watching them grow up and helping them along the way there really fills my heart with joy. I also love travelling, getting to know and experiencing different cultures. Being an au pair in the United States would not only allow me to live in this fascinating country with so much to see in the different states, but would also allow me to become a part of the culture. Additionally, it is a great opportunity to improve my English skills and speak with many native speakers. Overall, I would say that I am a responsible, kind, reliable and patient person, who is also first aid certified. All of that makes me a great au pair for your children.

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.

I would love to become an au pair, because I really enjoy taking care of children. I am considering becoming a primary school teacher or educator. I think it's important at my age to experience as much as possible and also learn to become independent. Furthermore, I would like to improve my English skills and learn more about the American culture, and I see a year abroad as the perfect option.

I want to become an Aupair in the USA again because I genuinely enjoy working with kids and for me it's incredibly rewarding to be part of their daily lives, growth and development. Plus, the USA holds a special place in my heart, and having lived there before, I know how much I enjoy the culture and the diversity of experiences it offers. For me, it's not just about babysitting; it's about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can be themselves. I also love sharing bits of my own culture with the children I care for. In fact, my former host kids still talk about the German food I made for them and crave it from time to time! I think those little cultural exchanges, whether it's through language, food, or traditions, add something special to the relationship. I believe my strengths are patience, creativity, and adaptability.
Child Care Experience
From June to present, I volunteer in a children's holiday program with children from 6 to 12 years of age. I supervise the children and do painting and crafting with the children. From March 2023 to September 2024, I took care of Lotta (1) for one to two times per week. I prepared meals, played, took child for walks, went to the playground and to the local farm where the child's father is working. From August 2023 to February 2024, I took care of Nino (1) for two to four times per week. I prepared meals, played and put child to sleep.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
I enjoy reading, cooking just like baking, and pilates, in which I participate once or two times a week in a sports community at home. Above all, I am an outgoing person who really enjoys travelling and adventures. I really enjoy Pilates together with my best friend. In my early childhood, I participated in gymnastics and dancing, which I had to cancel through my schedule in school.

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
Child Care Experience
From August to September 2024, I did an internship in a Kindergarten with children from 3 to 6 years of age. I played, helped get the children dressed, comforted and read books to the children.

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.
