I have a passionate experience

Aupair Experience Review: Hello! My name is Awa Boye, and I am a 24-year-old from Senegal. I come from a large polygamous family where my father has three wives and 18 children, and my mother is the first wife with 10 children. Growing up in such a large family, I’ve always been surrounded by children and I absolutely adore them. I have several nieces and nephews, and I know how to care for children of all ages. I’ve always felt that being part of a family is essential, and that’s what I value most in life. I have more than 500 hours of experience caring for children. I’ve looked after my younger siblings, nieces, and nephews, especially when their mothers are working. I truly enjoy spending time with children, teaching them, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved and safe. I understand that every child has their own needs, and I am fully committed to creating a positive, supportive environment for them to thrive in. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m very family-oriented. I believe that being a part of a family is not just about looking after the children; it's about becoming a member of that family, contributing to the household, and sharing love and care with everyone. I want to be more than just an aupair—I want to be like an older sister or aunt to the children, building a real bond with them. I am eager to improve my English and experience life in a different culture, which is why I am excited about the opportunity to join a family where I can both help with childcare and continue my personal growth. I am open to traveling and starting my journey as soon as possible. *Aupair Experience:* - More than 500 hours of childcare experience - Passion for working with children and making sure they are happy and healthy - Willing to be a part of a family, not just an aupair, and help in all areas of daily life - Looking forward to enhancing my English and learning more about other cultures I would be delighted to join your family as an aupair and contribute to creating a warm and positive home environment.

A Guide to Working Abroad in the Netherlands

Locations

Made infamous for its daring cultural traditions, wooden shoes, and flowing, flowery meadows, among other things, the Netherlands offers much more than job opportunities. Nestled between some of Europe’s most prominent economies, both Belgium and Germany, working in the Netherlands will surely be a beneficial career move and the chance to experience the European marketplace and business world.

Amsterdam. The capital of the Netherlands is a city full of contrasts. While those looking to party will find their home here, more importantly, there is a place in Amsterdam for those looking to keep it classy. The misunderstood, yet stereotypical, raunchy side of Amsterdam is kept under wraps near the train station while the real “Dutch” Amsterdam keeps to itself along the beautiful canals. If you’re looking for a home in one of the world’s greatest art hubs, Amsterdam is home to not only the Van Gogh museum, but also Vermeers and Rembrandts at the brilliant Rijksmuseum. So whether you’re looking for a job in the Netherlands that supports a bit of letting loose on the weekends or even one that allows for more of a quiet lifestyle, Amsterdam offers job opportunities for both types of people.

Rotterdam. Home to the biggest port in Europe, Rotterdam, known as the second city of the Netherlands and the Manhattan of the Maas, is one amazing place to live and work in the Netherlands. Bombed brutally during World War II, this Dutch coastal city is a testament to Dutch engineering and resiliency. Having been restored with a modern touch, Rotterdam is a city of steel and glass skyscrapers that gives off a definitive 21st century feel that is aesthetically pleasing. Those looking to work in the Netherlands in a modern city with access to the ocean, Rotterdam is the place for you.

Maastricht. One of the most quaint cities in the Netherlands, living and working in Maastricht will be a big contrast to Rotterdam or Amsterdam. Those who choose to work in Maastricht will learn that biking beats driving and walking beats biking, which is also true in other cities in the Netherlands. Known historically as the birthplace of the European Union, created in the Maastricht Treaty, Maastricht is an incredibly beautiful place to live. Home to Roman ruins, food from all over the world, and a surprising French influence, the crown jewel of the southern Netherlands is a great place for those seeking a place that is quiet, picturesque, and literally a short walk away from Belgium and Germany.
