The family. I used a really simple, put-up-your-profile style, website called Au Pair World and they seemed like the best fit.
The location. Whilst not many people have heard of Wassenaar it boasts a perfect proximity to the beautiful Dutch coastline. It is on the doorstep of The Hague and nestles conveniently between Rotterdam and Amsterdam- perfect for the tourist in me! Also, perhaps most importantly, it is within reaching distance of my family and friends.
The opportunities. Among other things there is a language course, an International Church and other Au Pairs nearby :)
So whilst I am nervous about my Dutch departure I am also very excited :)
