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 first-aid certified. To me, taking care of kids is more than just a job, it is part of my life. I am getting into this program because I love kids, I want to learn a different language, and because I want to meet different places and get to know a different way of life in your family, which will also become part of my life. I am absolutely sure that we have a lot of good ideas and experiences to exchange. I have a lot of patience to teach children things that I know, such as swimming, playing the guitar, and doing arts and crafts, etc.
Child Care Experience
From August 2018 until April 2019, I took care of a group of children between the ages 5 to 12 years. I evaluated and designed activities for them in order to promote their development and did certain kinds of exercises and sport with them. I also did arts and crafts with them. In another group, I was responsible for kids between 0 and 3 years old and took care of them from January until April 2019. I simulated their development and did light playing with them since they were still very young. From August 2018 until June 2019, I was responsible for a 3-year old child. I provided him with activities, played with him in- and outdoors and also did arts and crafts with him. From July 2019 until April 2020, I took care of his brother, who is 5 years and did similar activities with him. From Aug 2018 until April 2020, I took care of a small group of children between the ages 3 and 5. I provided activities and games for their healthy development in a playful manner and encouraged them to use their language and to start talking.

The reasons I want to join in an Au Pair program are because, firstly, I enjoy being with kids. It’s always fun and relaxing to spend time with them. Secondly, I'm a person who loves challenges and who likes to try new things. I really love seeing myself becoming even more mature from any situation I experienced. Lastly, I want to improve my English and learn more about the US culture. So being an pair is a wonderful chance to improve my communication skills and to learn from an authentic US family. I’m a patient person, kind, positive, and also understanding when it comes to kids' physical and emotional development. I am certain that I will be a great au pair for you because I can handle several situations and I will be able to take very good care of your children.

I want to be an au pair because I want to work with children, love to travel, improve my English skills and explore the world. I always wanted to work with people, especially with children, in my future. When I once worked in a primary school I realized that I would really like to work with children in my future because I like to influence children in the best possible way and help them to grow. I think the au pair program is an excellent chance to help children and to be a friend or sister to them. Furthermore, I hope that I can support the American host family in their daily life. I love to explore new cultures, the English language and I have always been interested in the USA, witch is the reason why I think that being an au pair is the best way to combine those aspects.
Child Care Experience
In December 2019, I took care of a 2-year old and played with her, put her to bed for naps, and prepared food as well for her. From February until November 2019, I took care of a group of children between the ages 3 and 6 years. I read stories with them, taught them general things, and played with them. From January 2019 until today, I am taking care of another 2-year old. I feed him, bath him, and play with him. Since January 2020, I am responsible for two kids (both age 7): I prepare their lunches with and for them, help them with school, and generally take care of them when their parents are gone.

Comments
I love children and I love spending time with them, and because of the love I have for kids, I would be more than happy to spend an eventful year taking care of them. From my past experiences with children I've learned to understand that how you behave towards children will definitely have direct impact on how they behave towards you, and understanding that is one of my strengths. My calm, patient, loving, caring, and understanding nature will make me a great au pair because I enjoy helping children grow and develop by listening to their opinions on things and their ideas.

I would like to be an au pair because I love to work with children and I’m also looking to participate in an exchange program abroad, which will provide me a unique experience, not just for improving my English but also for my personal and professional life and I believe the au pair program fits perfectly within my goals. I consider myself qualified because I was always an easy going person that loves to listen and help people, had studied psychology for about 1 year. I have had experience with children for a long time, with many different ways like taking care of them, teaching, playing and this always made me happy. In my family, we always learned to respect the others and consider what they have to say, being aware of our differences and working together with our strenghts.

In the summer of 2018 and 2019, I volunteered in a summer course taking care of children ages 4 to 12 years old. It included meal preparation, supervising children, planning their activities.

I did their laundry, supervised them, planned their activities, helped handicapped children. Between 2016 - 2019 I helped to babysit a group of children ages 3 years old. It included meal preparation, housekeeping, supervising them. I volunteered in a nursery school working with children ages 5 months to 3 years old from August 2015 to June 2016. It included supervising children and their activities, lifting children and caring for them. Between 2017 and 2019, I babysat Mateo ( from the time he was 6 months old) and Maribel (newborn). I bathed them, drove them, prepared meals for them.

I want to be an au pair because I think it is a unique experience that will help me to grow a lot as a person and to know a new culture from another country. also to meet new people and share experiences with them, something that also excites me a lot is the idea of being able to help in the growth of the children that I will take care of. I feel qualified for this program because I like children very much, apart from the fact that I know how to treat and care for them, I consider myself a very mature person.

I want to participate in the au pair program because I love to share with children, I have experience working with them, and there will always be something to learn from them. I also love taking care of them and I get along well with them very well. I have many skills that I would like to teach them. My strengths would are: knowing another language (French) but I can also teach them Spanish. In addition to keeping them active doing some sport or practicing some dancing, I could also teach them to play some of the instruments I know. I am a responsible, fun, and organized person. I love to discover new places, cultures, and to make new friends.

One of my main child care experiences is helping children at pony camps. I love horses! I am also a good swimmer and have taught some friends how to swim when I was young. At my Ultimate Frisbee club I helped teach the new-comers. I enjoy helping children, entertaining them and I learn so much from them, which makes au pairing in America the optimal choice! I have child care experience, I enjoy coming up with new ways of entertaining them, I am a little older and have more life experience and I am able to take proper care of children whilst understanding the responsibility. I believe that is what makes me qualified to participate in the EurAupair program. I am also well educated and am able to help the children with their school work - which is especially important in the current times (not knowing when kids will be able to go back to school full time).
