I can totally understand your statement "I am the only American, the only au pair choosing to work in the Netherlands for enrichment versus necessity. This makes me feel guilty and grateful.” Great to hear that other people's stories are as colored and enriching as the adventures my friends and I shared! And I still get to remember my Dutch from time to time.....so fun! I, too, was an American living in The Netherlands (Amstelveen) as an au pair.
