AU PAIR program in HOLLAND AU-PAIR in Netherlands Netherlands is a country where South Africans feel very much at home. Amsterdam has the most ‘museum per square inch’ of the world, filled with modern art, Dutch design, paintings from famous Dutch painters such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Mondriaan, etc. Of all the monuments in Holland the castles may be the most impressive. Step inside the gates of the Muiderslot or visit the majestic Het Loo Palace. Holland has plenty of windmills, tulips and cheese too! It is a requirement of the Dutch work permit that you study their language and the language school is required to provide a certificate of attendance and competency. If Netherlands is your choice, you MUST plan ahead. Many of the documents required for the visa take two months to get, and the visa itself can take three to four months from the time of application. Your complete application must reach us six months before your planned travel date! YOU AND YOUR HOST PARENTS Dutch value three things above all: their children, their homes and their gardens. The Netherlands is a family-centred country. The Dutch have created a special kind of domestic life, which they call gezellig, a home that feels cosy and enjoyable.. You may be responsible for bathing and feeding the children, playing games, taking them to school and fetching them, supervising homework and taking them to extra mural activities such as, swimming lessons, art, karate, ballet; arranging play dates with friends and taking them on suitable outings. You will be responsible for ironing, general housework, meal preparation, help with grocery shopping and other family chores. Family life is warm, cosy and affectionate. We provide you with information about your host family and they will call you for an interview. Often you will choose a family based on mutual expectations and hobbies and interests, or they may just sound right. Should the unlikely case of an exploitative situation occur, JCR will remove you and arrange for you to stay in a safe house and where possible place you with another family.
