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.

Child Care Experience
I’ve worked in 2 addiction clinics, helping teenagers and adults that have problems with illegal substances. I also worked in a kindergarten as a teacher taking care of little kids and teaching them how to paint, reading books for them, and playing with them. I volunteered for 2 summers in an association for people with disabilities and it was very cool because I practiced my patience and to be inclusive. I gave them some cooking and dancing classes. Working at the camp was amazing because every child had its own personality, some of them were a little shy but when I talked to them and engaged them in activities, they were happy to do it. Some of the little kids were afraid of the storms or felt homesick but I was always there for them—singing songs and making them feel happy. From July 2017 until August 2019, I took care of a group of 15 children between 2 and 4 years. I taught them Spanish, helped them bathing, got them dressed, and did sport and art activities with them. From September 2019 until January 2019, I also cared for a group of 20 children between 0 to 7 months and prepared meals for them.

I want to become an Au pair because I love children and I intend to later do a master's degree related to kids and teenagers. Whenever I have worked with little kids, I had a blast because they have a lot of energy and give you a lot of love. Being with children gives you positive feelings and energy. I am the oldest sister so I always cared for the little ones and enjoyed spending time with my little cousins and always took care of them, teaching them stuff about life, and be there for them when they needed me. I feel qualified to be your au pair because I'm very patient and careful with children and I love to teach them new stuff and to spend time with them while doing fun stuff with them and things that will help them in their development.

** Will take her driver licence's test in February 2020*** I want to become an Au Pair because I love children. I like taking care of them, playing with them, just seeing them happy and being able to see them grow up. I really want to be able to grow as a person during this year because you never stop learning from new experiences. My English is already pretty good and I think that is a strength of mine because I’m able to really communicate with everyone. I’ve already participated in an exchange program before so I think I can deal with homesickness a bit better than people who have never been away from home.
