Family Description

Hello! We are a warm and welcoming family from the Netherlands looking for a kind and enthusiastic au pair to become part of our family. We have two wonderful boys, aged 2 and 5, who are curious, energetic, and love playing, exploring, and spending time outdoors. We are looking for someone who is reliable, caring, responsible, cheerful, and truly enjoys being around children. It would be wonderful if you are creative, enjoy going for walks, and like coming up with fun activities for young children. We hope to find someone who will feel like a big sister to our boys and enjoy being part of our daily family life. We live in a comfortable house with a large garden, where the children love to play. As our au pair, you will have your own private bedroom and share a bathroom with the children. We hope to welcome someone who enjoys family life, and is excited to experience Dutch culture while creating happy memories with us. We believe good communication, mutual respect, and kindness are the foundation of a great au pair experience. If this sounds like the right family for you, we would love to hear from you and get to know you better!

Living with our family means you can enjoy life in a small, friendly town with lots of green spaces and nature. It is a safe and peaceful place where you can feel at home. There is always something to do in the surrounding area. You can visit nearby cities, go shopping, enjoy cafés and restaurants, explore parks, go cycling, or take beautiful walks in nature. Public transport is good, making it easy to discover more of the Netherlands in your free time. As part of our family, you will have the chance to experience Dutch culture, improve your English or Dutch, and create wonderful memories while spending time with our children. We hope you will feel like a true member of our family and enjoy a fun and rewarding year with us.

A Day in the Life of an Au Pair with Our Family. A typical day starts with helping the children (ages 2 and 5) get ready for the day and enjoying breakfast together. After breakfast, you will take our oldest child to school. Then you and our youngest can spend the morning together. You might go into town to do some grocery shopping, enjoy a walk, visit a playground, or play together at home. Around lunchtime, you'll have lunch with our youngest before heading to school to pick up our oldest child. Back at home, you can enjoy a drink and a snack together and spend some time playing or doing a fun activity. Later in the afternoon, you'll help prepare dinner. We enjoy eating together as a family whenever possible. After dinner, you'll help with the children's bedtime routine, such as getting them ready for bed, reading a story, and tucking them in. Once the children are asleep, you'll do some light tidying up related to the children. After that, the evening is yours to relax and enjoy your free time.

We are looking for a kind, calm, and enthusiastic au pair who enjoys spending time with young children. Someone who is independent, takes initiative, and is reliable is a great fit for our family. We appreciate an au pair who enjoys cooking simple meals and is happy to help with everyday family life. It is important to us that you are responsible, easy-going, and feel comfortable managing daily tasks on your own. Most of all, we hope to welcome someone who will become part of our family. We would love to spend time together, enjoy fun outings, share meals, and create wonderful memories during your stay with us.

Family Unique Experience

We live in a lovely town, close to the town centre and surrounded by beautiful green spaces and water. Our home is in a peaceful area where you can enjoy walks, cycling, and relaxing by the water, while still being close to shops, cafés, and everything you need. One of the best things about our location is that it is easy to travel by train to some of the Netherlands' biggest and most beautiful cities, such as Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, and The Hague. This makes it easy to explore the country during your free time. As part of our family, you will experience everyday Dutch life and have the opportunity to improve your English and, if you like, learn some Dutch. We also enjoy doing fun activities together as a family, such as visiting playgrounds, going on day trips, exploring nature, and spending time outdoors. We hope you'll create wonderful memories with us while developing new skills and experiencing a new culture.
