Making it a success!

The main reason you become an au pair in the Netherlands is because you have a passion for children. You love being around them and caring for them with the best of intentions. You are a role model for the children. In addition, you would like to learn more about Dutch culture and customs. You make the most of the cultural experience!

 

Some tasks are 'common sense' tasks because you are part of the host family. You live in their house, use their kitchen etc. Counting hours preparing dinner or (un)unpacking the dishwasher is something you wouldn't do.
