There are many good reasons to spend time as an au pair in Germany. As you will be closely involved in your host family’s everyday life, you will learn German very quickly. You will also gain valuable insights into German culture and daily life. Your working hours are regulated, and you will have plenty of free time as well as paid leave.
Travelling to other German cities is easy, and you may also have the opportunity to visit neighbouring countries, either on your own or together with your host family. Germany and Europe have a rich history that is well worth discovering.
Successfully completing a longer stay abroad will boost your self-confidence and help you become more independent and resilient. Germany also offers many opportunities after your time as an au pair. You might decide to complete vocational training at a company or study at a German university.
