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.

I have always had a passion for looking after children, which is why I want to become an Au Pair. Since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of becoming a teacher, but I decided to pursue Au Pairing first. My goal for this experience is to develop as a person, learn a new language, immerse myself in different cultures and teach my host children new things. America has always been my top choice. I have always been intrigued by the American culture, and I believe that Au Pairing in America would be a wise decision. It would be an excellent combination of looking after children and experiencing the American culture. Some of my strengths include being mature for my age, patient, having experience working with children, and being an understanding person

Being an au pair will allow me to experience the culture of another country and live unique experiences. My main motivation for being an au pair is to be able to master the English language and learn about new cultures because since I was little, I have traveled around the world. I feel that there is no better way to perfect English than being in an environment where it is the native language. I am confident that my combination of enthusiasm, reliability, and love for children makes me a great fit for your family. I am excited about the prospect of becoming a part of your lives and contributing to the well-being and happiness of your children.

With this passion for life, I would love to be a part of this delightful opportunity. Since I was a little girl, I have dreamt of visiting the USA, and I am willing to be dedicated and patient to make it happen.

Traveling has always been one of my biggest dreams, and being an au pair will help me fulfill that dream. I chose the USA because I feel that it has a lot of opportunities for younger people, and I would love to learn about their culture and their ways of doing things. I feel qualified to be in the program because of my love for children. I am a very patient person with a soft personality that helps me connect with children faster, and I have a creative mind that can keep them entertained. I am also a very caring person and always look out for others. I have experience working with infants and I am a good and confident driver.
