Vacancies in Norway with Atlantis Exchange

As an au pair you will take part in the everyday life of a Norwegian family. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience a different culture and to broaden your horizons. Norway has an incredible nature to offer. High mountains, pine forests, lakes, fjords and a beautiful coastline. The population consists only of 4.5 million people, scattered around the country's 324.000 km2. The capital Oslo has approximately 500.000 inhabitants and is the largest city in Norway. People mostly live in towns and villages, but remember there are not many big cities in Norway. The transportation system however, is highly developed.
The family unit is very important. Families are generally small and people own their own home or apartment. Spending time in the mountains or by the sea is also common. Norwegian children and teenagers are often members of a sports club, school band and/or different youth organisations. We recommend the au pairs to join in some of these activities, as it is a great way to meet other people.
