Family Visser
Family Description
We're a beach-town family through and through — Daan runs a small surf school right on the sand, Fem works shifts as a nurse, and our two kids (5 and 9) can practically swim before they can read. We're looking for an energetic, water-confident au pair for the summer season, someone who'll happily spend afternoons at the beach and doesn't mind sand tracked through the house on a daily basis.
Summers here are full but relaxed — beach mornings, ice cream, and Daan's surf school buzzing with tourists. We eat outside most evenings, and the kids would love an au pair who's up for learning to surf alongside them. It's a seasonal, high-energy household, and a brilliant placement if you love the coast.
Family Unique Experience
Zandvoort is the Netherlands' liveliest seaside town, 30 minutes from Amsterdam by train, with a long sandy beach, beach clubs, and a genuine surf culture that's unusual for the Netherlands. Free surf lessons from Daan's school and easy access to Amsterdam and Haarlem make this a fantastic summer placement.
