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 want to be an Au Pair because I love children, I enjoy spending time with them, learning from each other because in a way they remind me of when I was little. Also, spending time with them I feel a lot of connection and love because I can see them grow and develop their skills, something that is not always seen. The love that develops when being with a child is different and pure because they teach me the value of loving someone small and the value of caring for, helping, and setting an example for someone who is just information; All this motivates me to be a better Au Pair and to be a better person because in a certain way it influences my personal growth. On the other hand, and in a personal way, I want to learn and improve my English, I also want to travel, interact with other people and have personal growth.

I want to become an Au Pair in the USA firstly, because I want to improve my English and there is not a better way to do it than living with native people, and secondly because I have always dreamed of traveling and to know the USA. I considered myself qualified to participate in the EurAupair program because I meet all requirements and also because I have extensive experience in childcare because I have always been surrounded by children and had a very good relationship with them since I was a little. And that’s why I am sure that I will be an excellent Au Pair. I feel I am a versatile person, because I have the capacity of quickly and easily adapt to any situation, I’m persevering and patient, with a high level of self-esteem, disciplined, curious, and willing to learn.

I would like to participate in the Au Pair exchange program, because I love working with children and it gives me a lot of joy and fun. Children close you so quickly in the heart and the time together is always great, so I would definitely like to travel to the U.S. with EurAupair and work there with a host family with the children. In addition, I have always been interested in America and it has always been a dream of mine to get to know the American culture and holidays and to experience them with an American family. I would also like to travel through America and see the different states and get to know them, because each state is different. Of course, I would also like to improve my English and an au pair year is the perfect time to do so, because on the one hand you learn better English and on the other hand you learn the English that is spoken in everyday life in America.
