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 decided to become an au pair because I have always worked with children and got along very well. It is nice to work with them, there are several challenges throughout the journey but they are always rewarding. Is a dream work with kids and be part of this program, explore the world and learn everything about a new country. Given the opportunity to experience and learn more about a different education, constantly find myself in situations outside of my comfort zone. At church I give lessons to the children. I want to do my best work and I will take care of your children as if they were my own. Let's make this opportunity a great exchange of experiences. I want to be part of your family and I know that I´ll learn a lot. Now Iâm excited waiting for your contact.

I would like to use this time to have a meaningful experience and the prospective of engaging in a cultural exchange while also being useful in things that appeal to me--like child care. I feel the need to constantly learn and experience new things. I feel lucky and proud of being raised in a home that values respect, tolerance, love, and honesty so I know how to use these beautiful things to take care of children. Besides that, I would like to use this opportunity to discover new things, meet new people, and be able to share my knowledge and skills in new places. My wish is to make this experience abroad a to enhance my scholar knowledge and professional experiences, and also to be able to meet and help new people, especially my host family.

My biggest strength is to be disciplined in any projects I attempt and completion of tasks etc.By becoming an au pair I want to help the children grow and evolve in a safe and secure space, by providing loads of fun activities that also help them with skills. Make food with them to help them understand all sorts of nutrition's and benefits that some food can have and keep them save and well cared for. I want to create lasting memories not only for myself but also for the children too. Have them come to me with anything they need or have a problem with. Helping and entreating children is so much fun to me. I love seeing their faces light up when I play with them or help them learn a new skill. They truly light up my day and will always.

Since more than 3 years now it is a dream of mine to become an Au pair and now after my graduation, I can finally get my wish come true. I love to spend my time with children, to look after their individual needs and help them become independent. Additionally, I really like to hear and see them laughing and know they just having fun and are happy. With you as my future host family, I´m looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas and all the other big public holidays. I hope that this experience let me become more independent and self-confident.

I want to be an Au pair because it includes two of my passions: taking care of children and improving my English while learning US culture. I love children very much. I think children have a separate world and I love being there with them. Whenever there are children around me, I am always a happy and positive person and to be happier I want to become an au pair, to be next to my little friends. I know being an au pair is a serious job as much as it is fun, but I am a responsible, cheerful and hardworking person with many other strengths enough to enjoy this journey. I would describe myself as reliable, polite, patient and positive. I always try to be friendly and helpful to other people. Responsibility is very important for me.

I am first aid certified. I want to become an au pair because I love kids. They're innocent, loving, charming, funny, intelligent, like little genius. I consider that they are the most intelligent and wise people in the world, they are innocent and naive, and there is always something new to learn from them, the way they see the world is the most pure and fun. Be with children is like being in a different world, where everything is perfect, happy, kind and incredible. Is like become a child again, it is a fabulous experience. I'm tolerant, organized, loving, responsible and dedicated. In my experience with children I have realized that I have a lot of empathy with them.

I want to be an au pair because I mainly want to work with children and because I want to know the culture and customs of the United States and it is the best opportunity to improve my English. I consider myself a perfect candidate because I have the preparation and experience in child care. I have basic knowledge of first aid, I can teach children how to swim, how to do crafts, paint, dance, and sing.
