There is so much to discover in the Netherlands! A small country but full of art and history. If you are wondering why you should spend your year as an Au pair, read on to learn why being a HBN Au pair in the Netherlands is the best choice!
The Dutch Au Pair Program:
The Au pair program in the Netherlands is regulated by the IND (Immigratie en Naturalisatiedienst). That means there are rules in place for you and your host family. Our agency makes sure that all of these rules are followed. Some of the many things we check on is that you aren’t working more than 8 hours per day or 30 hours per week, that you have your own private bedroom and that you receive your weekly stipend. We will also give you support during your entire experience.
Another reason to choose the Netherlands is flexibility. You can become an Au pair all year round! So, find a time that works best for your schedule. We count on local agents’ support that make the process easier.
HBN Au Pairs:
At HBN we have a lot of fun! In addition to providing childcare, we want you to gain a new family and make new friends in the Netherlands. We encourage that with our events, meetings and lots of HBN outings for all the au pairs living in the same community as you. For that we have our HBN ambassadors who get au pairs together to connect with each other and to build friendship.
From the time you land in the Netherlands you can expect to have an experience you’ll always remember. It’s easy to apply to our program, get started today!
