Events
All Sunshine events are free for our Au Pairs. Sunshine Au Pair holds several activities each year to give the Au Pairs a unique Dutch cultural exchange experience. These events can help them connect with their fellow Au Pairs, especially the newcomers in the country. Besides connecting the Au Pairs with each other, these events and programs can also help improve their other skills and let them discover more about themselves.
To help the Au Pairs gain more connections, we have a Sunshine Au Pair WhatsApp group to connect them with all the Au Pairs within the agency. We will also help them join the Amsterdam Au Pair WhatsApp group and the Den Haag Au Pair WhatsApp group, etc., where they may connect with all the other Au Pairs in the Netherlands.
Experiential approach (Au Pair Training)
This training is an online introduction to our Au Pairs who have found their families and are waiting for departure. We introduce our Au Pairs to Dutch family dynamics, parenting values, and culture. We point out practical elements of living in the Netherlands and help kick-start their self-discovery journey to get the most out of their au pair year.
Welcome and Culture Coaching Event
This is an interactive introductory session to Dutch culture, values, and principles of society and family. Here, future Au Pairs will learn about personal skills useful in multicultural environments, such as the Au Pair program, which will enable them to navigate positively through each stage of their year in The Netherlands.
Welcome Event with First-Aid Knowledge Presentation
Our Au Pairs will be provided with a First-Aid Knowledge presentation to help them with the basic information during their Au Pair Year. The first-aid presentation will be done by certified First Aid Instructors. Topics in the presentation include head injuries, poisoning, minor cuts and bruises, nosebleeds, burns, choking, and many more! Snacks or meals will also be provided during/after the event!
This is Holland – 5D Flight Experience
THIS IS HOLLAND is a unique 5D experience that lets you experience the Netherlands with its windmills, wetlands, and flower fields, and learn about its history while suspended under a huge domed screen. With its special effects and the breathtakingly beautiful filming of different UNESCO Dutch World Heritage Sites, the THIS IS HOLLAND flight experience will make you feel like you’re really flying over the Dutch landscape for nine minutes.
