Become an Au Pair in Norway

This is a wonderful opportunity to experience a different culture and to broaden your horizons! Norway has stunning nature everywhere: high mountains, pine forests, lakes, fjords and a beautiful coastline. The capital Oslo has approximately 500,000 inhabitants and is the largest city in Norway.

As an au pair you will take part in the everyday life of a Norwegian family. The family unit is very important in Norway and families are generally small. Most families own their own home or apartment. Over one third also own or share a cabin in the mountains or by the sea. Spending time in these cabins is a favorite family activity.
