The other boys also learned a lot from her, including a glimpse into how the school system works in South Africa, which added such a valuable perspective.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"1102\">During her time with us, we built a truly lovely bond.

She did not yet know how to manage things on her own and often seemed a bit overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. I had the impression she\u2019d been quite sheltered and perhaps a little pampered by her mother- as an only child from her mom side;-).<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"924\">That said, Karla arrived with a lot of energy and genuine enthusiasm. She was super sweet and eager to be part of our family, and she built a lovely connection with Viggo. She also really really\u00a0 enjoyed hanging out with the older boys and was always up for joining in.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"1289\">Although I do think she learned a lot during her time with us, I often found myself stepping into a motherly role \u2014 more than I had anticipated or really wanted. Still, I hope the experience gave her valuable insights and tools for her future. I know I wasn\u2019t always the most patient and nicest version of myself, but I truly tried to offer her something solid to grow from.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1538\">Karla began her study Nutrition, she had a lot of interest in that area, she\u2019s doing really well in South Africa. She is very much in love.

She was feeling emotional and ready to return home, certain she wanted to leave the program. I invited her over to my home to talk through her options, and that evening she stayed for dinner\u2026 and never really left.

Janneke is a beautifully creative, warm, emotional, and intelligent soul. Her free spirit occasionally led to a few little hiccups, but they were honestly part of her charm and often gave us something to laugh about.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"967\">We shared so many wonderful moments together.

She was originally meant to come earlier, but then COVID hit and everything changed. We stayed in touch throughout that uncertain time, and after about six months, once Paola could leave, Jannette finally arrived. Although the pandemic was still ongoing, it created a unique space for us to grow close \u2014 and we really did.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"882\">At first, I was a little concerned about her age \u2014 she seemed so young \u2014 but she completely proved me wrong. From the start, she owned it. Despite the strange circumstances, she handled everything with calm and confidence. The way she connected with Viggo was just beautiful \u2014 nurturing, present, and truly effective.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1199\">Jannette is such a special person: open, honest, kind, intelligent, and a lot of fun. She brought light into the house, and it was a joy to watch her grow during her time with us. She had initially hoped to study here, but when that turned out to be complicated, she decided to continue her studies in South Africa.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1565\">A few months later, we were reunited during our family trip to South Africa \u2014 such a wonderful full-circle moment. With Jannette, it always felt like I was a very close older friend \u2014 someone she could talk to, share her thoughts and doubts with. We laughed a lot, shared stories about life, love, her insecurities, Bumble dates, and her impressions of Dutch boys.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1567\" data-end=\"1616\">We have stayed\u00a0 in close contact and connected. She has been planning to come back to the Netherlands and I (we) would really love to see her again!

She was quiet, not super outgoing at first. She was one of those persons who slowly really grows on you.<\/p><p>She built the most amazing connection with Viggo and actually with all the boys separately in their own way. She built many friendships who became her best friends, still are. She took the time for the boys, to really understand their characters and what their interests were. She has this very comforting and relaxed, sweet aura that . She also travelled a lot, every weekend she was away, which made it a little bit more difficult for Arnaud and I to build a bond with her.<\/p><p>But Corona came and so we spend far more time together and this is where I really got to know Paola more and appreciate her even more. It was not easy for everyone but I also look back on a very special period with her. Paola had a whole program for Viggo starting with Yoga in the morning, doing the excersizes from school, crafting, baking with Vali. It was amazing. She just came to visit us again and it again felt so natural having her around.

such a stronged willed baby. Changing diapers and me leaving gave him a real tantrum. I tought her to be really firm when changing diapers and it worked. She was a party lover and we had conversations about 2 nights in the weekend coming home at 6 in the morning definitely also affects your mood and energy during the week. We openly discussed this and it was not easy and at first it was difficult cause Palesa also was quite introverted and reallt needed and wanted her privacy which was difficult for me being an open personallity, sharing and asking everything \ud83d\ude09 . We had a bit of a tough start but really grew together. Boys\u00a0 loved &#8220;Paisha&#8221;. She educated them well to behave well mannered. We had a nice musical connection, loved all her playlists, she had a great vintage fashion styled, loved how her style.\u00a0 She was well read and we could have really meaningfull discussions, so Arnaud an I also really loved her and build a great connection. She fell in love with Marcus and he would also come over and stay over. He would play football with the boys and also build a connection with us. It was so nice seeing her again in South Africa, I really hope to see her again soon and spend some time with her again.<\/p><hr class=\"\" data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1077\" \/><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1171\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3036cbf elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3036cbf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8527814\" data-id=\"8527814\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc82681 elementor-icon-list--layout-inline elementor-align-start elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"bc82681\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items elementor-inline-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b10dc8 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7b10dc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Alua Azevedo , Brazil <br>2014-2015<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07bf4d8 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"07bf4d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98dca1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98dca1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"737\"><strong data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"290\">Alua was like an angel.<\/strong><br data-start=\"290\" data-end=\"293\" \/>She came into our lives during one of the most turbulent times \u2014 I was pregnant with Viggo, we were moving houses, and in the midst of renovations. At first, I was a bit concerned \u2014 her English wasn\u2019t very strong, and I thought, \u201cOh oh, this might be difficult.\u201d But any doubts quickly disappeared. Alua had such a loving personality. She truly cared \u2014 and still does. She was open, eager to learn, and a bit of a perfectionist in the best way.<\/p><p data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"1168\">I\u2019ll never forget her second week with us. I came home and found her crying. I was alarmed and asked if something had happened with the kids. She said, \u201cNo, but I was too late for swimming. I didn\u2019t manage the kids in time.\u201d I was so relieved, and reassured her: \u201cDon\u2019t worry. It takes time to get used to them \u2014 and for them to get used to you.\u201d It didn\u2019t take long at all. She quickly built a unique bond with each of the boys.<\/p><p data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1480\">She helped me so much \u2014 we were a real team. We had fun together, and she always enjoyed her free time too, meeting up with friends every weekend. When Viggo was born \u2014 the day after our big move \u2014 she was incredible. She was there through it all and felt like a true part of our family in that magical moment.<\/p><p data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1852\">And then, life brought more surprises. During her year with us, Alua fell in love with a Dutchie \u2014 now her husband. They have two beautiful children and live in Heiloo. We just saw each other recently, and she said to me, \u201cEm, I always wanted four kids, but omg\u2026 I don\u2019t know how you did it, I feel 2 is already so hectic!\u201d I told her, \u201cIf you want it, I know you can \u2014 and you\u2019ll be the best mother .\u201d<\/p><p data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1950\">My eldest now asks me, \u201cAlua really needs to teach me how to make her amazing salty pancakes.\u201d<\/p><p data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"1983\">Our bond stays strong \u2014

She taught the boys to put their dishes in the dishwasher, hang their coats etc. Cuddled them crazy, had fun with them, played with them but also gave them good boundaries and manners. Since Romi still stayed in the Netherlands, Lucia and Romi also became friends.<\/p><p>We had an amazing time with her such a special creative ,warm-hearted person. She moved back to Spain with her Dutch boyfriend. But she always kept contact and visited us regularly. Lucia stayed with us a few days on a holiday a couple of years later in Tarifa when Viggo was born and we had an amazing memorable time.

class=\"\" data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"594\">Over the years, with all the wonderful experiences we&#8217;ve had, there were of course a few mismatches too. Saying &#8220;mismatch&#8221; might sound harsh \u2014 but the truth is, it happens. Living with eachother is something else than having a nanny who comes and goes. It really has to CLICK. Of course as a Host and as an Au Pair you need to put energy and effort, because there are cultural differences to overcome. In 20 years of hosting au pairs, we&#8217;ve had about four experiences that didn\u2019t quite work out as hoped.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"1101\">Sometimes it\u2019s about timing or life circumstances. Sometimes expectations simply don\u2019t align. We\u2019ve learned time and again how important it is to manage those expectations from the beginning. Communication, flexibility, and mutual give-and-take are key \u2014 but even then, things don\u2019t always click. After each re-match, I would always feel a bit insecure and reflect on what we could\u2019ve done differently. That self-reflection feels really important to me, because every experience brings something to learn.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1401\">Our very first re-match happened during an emotionally heavy period in our lives. We were young, overwhelmed, and probably not as open or attentive as we should have been. She, in turn, couldn&#8217;t really open up to us \u2014 and looking back, we were all just doing our best under difficult circumstances.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1570\">We also once hosted someone who, in hindsight, joined for the wrong reasons. That experience didn\u2019t feel genuine or balanced, and the connection never really took off.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3181\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f07a388\" data-id=\"f07a388\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab69cfc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab69cfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"2078\">Another time, we matched with a very young girl from South Africa \u2014 and since we\u2019d had such a positive experience with Jannette, who was also young, we thought it would be fine. But this au pair needed constant attention and was very used to being the center of it all. While I always give a lot of support, especially in the beginning, it became clear that I had no time left for my own kids. After just a month, she decided to return to South Africa. I felt guilty and sad \u2014 but it simply wasn\u2019t flowing.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2080\" data-end=\"2641\">In response, I matched quickly with an older au pair \u2014 the only one we\u2019ve had who had au paired before. Unfortunately, that didn&#8217;t work out either. She didn\u2019t want to do certain tasks, like ironing, which I respected and worked around. She also felt the boys weren\u2019t doing enough \u2014 a fair observation, which we discussed openly. But still, she wasn\u2019t happy. I tried to build a bond, asked about her weekends, tried to connect, but she saw it as a job and preferred to keep her private life to herself. And that\u2019s where it ended \u2014 a mutual sense of misalignment.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2643\" data-end=\"3021\">Even from these re-matches, we\u2019ve learned so much. If anything, they reminded us that every au pair is different, and even if you think you &#8220;know how it works,&#8221; each situation brings new dynamics. As hosts, we also need to stay flexible and remember that for many au pairs, this is their first time abroad \u2014 a huge change, full of new people, expectations, and responsibilities.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3181\">So my advice? Keep being patient, stay open, and give attention. Even when it\u2019s hard. Because that\u2019s what really makes the difference \u2014 for them, and for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a0937fd\" data-id=\"a0937fd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7e2a32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a7e2a32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1945\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-19561\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-scaled.jpg 1945w, https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-778x1024.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-768x1011.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-1167x1536.jpg 1167w, https:\/\/www.hbnaupair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/JannekeViggo-upsidedown-1-3-1556x2048.jpg 1556w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1945px) 100vw, 1945px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emeline&#8217;s Au Pair Stories As the owner of the agency, I felt that after everything we\u2019ve experienced as a family with our own Au Pairs, it was time to start sharing some of those moments with you.
