Also known as Holland, the Netherlands is a country in Northern Europe that borders Belgium and Germany. The Netherlands has a strong connection to their history while keeping up with a changing society. After you welcome an au pair from this country into your home, you have the unique opportunity to learn about a culture that's different from your own — and in a deeply personal way. You and your children will love finding connections between yourselves and your au pair while understanding the differences.
General Facts About the Netherlands
If you host an au pair from the Netherlands, you and your family will learn many new and interesting facts about this country, including:
- The Netherlands is home to about 17 million people.
- The capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, is home to around 820,000 people.
- The official language of the Netherlands is Dutch, although Frisian is recognized as the official language of one region in the country, known as Friesland.
- Water is a dominant feature of the landscape of the country — it is home to three rivers and 26% of the country is below sea level.
Your au pair will be able to tell you even more about her home country as well as unique facts about the region and city where she is from.
Family Life and Children in the Netherlands
The family is very important to the people who live in Holland. Dutch families are very supportive of one another. If you host an au pair from the Netherlands, that cultural focus on the family will surely translate to their care for your children.
Driving Skills
Teenagers in the Netherlands can get their driver's license when they are 17 years old. First, you must take lessons at a driver's school when you first begin learning how to drive. Next, you need to take a written exam. There are also a few different practical exams that people in the Netherlands must pass in order to obtain their license. With so much emphasis on learning how to drive safely, your Dutch au pair should be able to transport your children safely. However, we highly recommend discussing driving during the interview process.
Education
Children in the Netherlands attend primary and secondary school for free until they are 16 years old. They can continue to go to school until they are 18 years old but must pay tuition at that point. Students have many options for schooling, including public, private and international schools.
Communication and Language Skills
The official language of the Netherlands is Dutch. One region, Friesland, gives residents the option of speaking Frisian as well, and there are also several other regional languages that are spoken. Many Dutch people also speak English and German.
Religion
Half of the population of the Netherlands does not identify with any religion. After non-religious affiliation, the majority of Dutch follow Christianity, with smaller percentages represented by Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism.
Diet
Dutch cooking focuses on simplicity and many of their dishes are very straightforward. The diets of people in the Netherlands contain lots of vegetables and less meat than diets in the United States.

I am eager to become an Au Pair because I want to understand how children's imagination works and learn about how they see the world with so much illusion, besides my knowledge in psychology and sports make me an ideal person to accompany your children in this adventure. For me this cultural exchange is a great challenge because I am challenging myself to acquire experiences that I would never have imagined before, such as learning not to be shy when meeting new people, being imaginative to create games and entertain the little ones. For these reasons and because I feel that I am a person who has patience and adapts to any environment I know that children and I can learn about anything together and this is my personal goal, to grow with them, to have a story to tell once I return to my country and to continue to brighten the days of more children in other continents.

Being an Au Pair for me goes beyond just an opportunity to change a life. This experience isn't limited to exploring a new country or learning a language; it transforms into a journey that enriches my soul. Being part of a foreign family not only involves assisting them but also broadens my perspectives and allows me to see the world from a different point of view. My interactions with the children not only enable me to provide a loving and learning-filled environment but also lead to a rediscovery of the child within myself. I bring with me a solution-oriented, adaptable, and responsible approach, qualities that I believe will not only benefit but deeply resonate with your children.

I liked to apply to this program because it's a great opportunity in order to improve my English skills, to learn about other culture and just the idea of live with a foreign family it's amazing for my, it's a dare and a cute adventure that I want to live. This program help me to open more my mind to the world, allow me know a foreign country and live there for a long time, this program is perfect for me, I applied because I think if this opportunity that a host family give me, I can give an opportunity to a host family in order to have an honest, kind and good person teaching, attending and maybe become a good example for their children because I know me and I know that I'm so capable, physical, mentality, and emotionality to take care children in a foreign country. I really excited about this program and I will do it. I make happy to my future host family to choose me.
