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 would like to join EurAupair, because I think it is such a great experience to deal with children and care for them. I also think it's a good opportunity to go to another country to learn and understand their culture. I love kids, I love to play and teach them, that's why I am graduating as a kindergarten teacher. As an older sister I know how to take care of children and how to talk to them. I understand their needs and I try to deal with them in the best way I can.
Child Care Experience
I babysat Emma (4) and Henco (11mths) in January of this year on school holiday, during birthdays, and on date nights, as needed. I started taking care of Emma at birthday parties and babysitting her at home when her parents had plans. Once Henco was born, I started taking care of him as well. I play with them, gave them baths, changed their diapers, fed them, and played various games with them. From April 2016 to August 2018, I babysat Haley (4) and Gabby (4) once or twice and also had to entertain them at birthday parties. This mainly included changing their clothes, feeding them, playing with them, and putting them to bed. From June to July 2018, I worked at a kindergarten every day for two weeks. The children here were 3 to 5 years old and I assisted them with classroom work, taking them for "potty time," helping feed them, entertaining them, overseeing naptime, reading to them, and watching them while they played outside. Finally, I have babysat Coco (4) since February 2018, occasionally when he was on campus with her mom and she had to attend class. This included entertaining him, coloring with him, and keeping him safe.

Comments
Being an au pair means taking on new responsibilities, experiencing new highs and lows, and doing all kinds of things for the first time. For me, these experiences will let me grow and allow me to learn a bit more about myself. I would like to accomplish an advancement of myself. I hope to become more independent and more mature, gain confidence in my decisions, and gain the security and independence that I need for my life. I consider myself experienced as I know how much I love children and how many hours I have put into babysitting.
