Au Pair Events 2024
EVENTS
The au pair program is essentially a cultural exchange program and as Au Pair International we believe it is important that au pairs learn and see the important things about our country. In addition, it is of course very nice for au pairs to get to know other au pairs upon arrival in the Netherlands. This is the ideal recipe against homesickness!
Of all agencies in the Netherlands, Au Pair International has the largest range of fun and enjoyable au pair events. Your au pair can participate in our events without any restrictions; the more the better as far as we are concerned! With often more than 100 other participants, new friends are easily made. If you are curious about our events, we share an impression on our Social Media channels.
Training
We organize a ‘Welcome training’ four times a year for au pairs who have just arrived in the Netherlands. During this day we interactively discuss topics such as effective communication with the host family, giving and receiving feedback, caring for and raising children and fun activities you can do with children. We also discuss daily life and culture in the Netherlands. The au pairs also receive a presentation from a nurse about first aid for babies and children. In short, the ‘Welcome training’ gives your au pair a flying start for the au pair year.
We also offer the option, at an additional cost, for your au pair to follow an extensive first aid course from the Red Cross. It is a great reassurance that your au pair knows how to act in case of the ten most common accidents among children.
DUTCH LANGUAGE COURSE
Our introductory course ‘Dutch for au pairs’ is specially tailored for participants in the au pair program in the Netherlands. In this compact course with two on-site lessons and eight online lessons, the au pair is taken into a unique story: the journey of an au pair.
