Norway is a country in Scandinavia that borders Finland and Sweden. When you host an au pair from Norway, you and your children will have the opportunity to learn first-hand about a culture and place in the world that is different from your own. Just as importantly, your au pair will have the same opportunity! Norway has a rich history and your au pair will have a wonderful time sharing about it while she is a part of your family.
General Facts About Norway
Your Norweigan au pair will teach you many things that you might not know about Norway, such as:
- Norway's population is over 5.2 million.
- The country is home to the most fjords as part of its landscape than any other country.
- Norwegian is the official language, but almost every citizen also speaks English because it is taught as a second language in school.
- The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway's capital, and the recipients are chosen by a panel of native Norwegians.
Your au pair will tell you fascinating facts just like these and many more when you welcome her into your family.
Family Life and Children in Norway
The family is very important to the people of Norway. In fact, parental leave is a national institution. It allows parents to recover and bond with their children after their birth. Typically, Norwegians do not have more than two children. But even with a relatively small family unit on average, familial bonds are strong in Norway. Your Norwegian au pair will proudly demonstrate this dedication to family while caring for your children.
Driving Skills
You can't get a driver's license in Norway until you turn 18. And you have to get through a process before you're given your license. First, you have to take a four-day class about basic driving concepts, first aid, and how to react after an accident. Next, you have to pass a theory exam and then a practical exam. Even after you receive your license, you have to get through a two-year trial period where you could potentially lose your license and have to start the process again.
Education
School is mandatory for children between the ages of 6 and 16 in Norway. From 6 to 13, children are in elementary school and then move to lower secondary school from 13 to 16. After finishing lower secondary, children can continue on to upper secondary school for more general education and vocational courses. After two years in upper secondary, they go on to enter apprenticeships and learn new skills onsite.
Communication and Language Skills
The official language of Norway is Norwegian, but Bokmal, Nynorsk and Saami are also recognized. Many people in Norway also speak English and even another language, like German, French or Spanish.
Religion
The majority religion in Norway is Christianity, which makes up around 75% of the population. The next most common affiliation is those who are not affiliated with any specific faith, making up about 16% of the population.
Diet
Similar to many families in the United States, Norwegians eat three or four main meals during the day, with a hot meal with family at dinnertime being the main one. Traditional dishes include krumkake, lutefisk and farikal.

Becoming an au pair in the US will completely change my life. Not only will I be able to assist at home and ensure that my mother is well taken care of, but it will also make me stronger and more self-reliant. Being far away from familiar surroundings and immersed in a different culture will push me to overcome challenges and become more resilient. I have always wanted to work with kids because I have a loving nature. I am a responsible person who has patience and passion for kids, and seeing them grow and learn new things from me would be rewarding. I feel like my strengths have played an important role in my life, as they have made me who I am. I am a patient, open-minded, hardworking, attentive, and creative person, so my strengths have contributed to shaping my character.

I would like to be an Au pair because I love children, I have always been surrounded by them. I value how they teach us from their innocence, their love and their great curiosity to learn new things. I know I can achieve a good relationship and assertive communication with them. I consider myself an honest, responsible, patient, fun, loving and proactive person, so I have a good capacity to respond to any circumstance. On the other hand, living this experience will allow me to enrich myself culturally with history, sports, vibrant cities and strengthen my second language, English. Of course I would also like to show you a little bit of what Colombian culture is like, our music, its typical food and our wonderful landscapes.
