I decided to become " ............ "

      It has been a month that I stayed at home after I decided to resign from my job. My job is so boring so that is why I need something to recharge my soul and to fill my life with a great stories. It was long processed until  I had found something. I had spent almost a year to search a lot of information. Well, I would like to say when I start thinking about that then the hardest parts are coming through. So this is when my story has just begun.

         Firstly, it came from the Au-pairs agency which it sent me a message. A woman who has her own business called bright Au-pairs, she contacted me through my Facebook. She told everything about the Au-pair program. She handled Au-pair in the Netherlands and in Belgium. She explained about the regulations to become an Au-pair. I just do not let myself trust to somebody who I have never met before. As a smart way, I searched, red, and compiled all the information regarding the Au-pair program. To be honest, the information from Bright Au-pair is totally weird. Why? Just because she is telling a lot of lies. She even cannot explained if her agency has a relation to somebody, and legal agencies which is taking a responsibility to us when we were neither in the Netherlands nor in in Belgium.

     On the other hand, I got a lot of information about her. I do not want to tell about the details but I am totally sure that I do not want to join and start my application with her. So I decided to not contacted her anymore. So now, my priority is to find the right agency from Indonesia which is they have a legacy relation with some agency in both country, the Netherlands and Belgium. There were a lot of options on that moment and also a lot of money I had to spend. I looked really carefully and closely. My choices were in two agencies which is the Au-pair world and Fitzeman. Both are the most responsible agencies. However, I found odd with Au-pair world because it just a website and no body was taking care all of the rules and start to make an application. So finally, I had chosen Fitzeman for helping me to start my application.

      On the next Saturday, I met him and he was a really good person. He explained about Fitzeman Au-pair program and of course the steps to start until I will be positively go. Unfortunately, in Fitzeman were they only provided an Au-pair program to the Netherlands or Germany. You also must know that the rules are really strict specially if you want to be an Au-pair in German. You have to had at least Beginner Level of Deutsche Language. Well I do not think I am interested to be an Au-pair in German so I had decided to go to the Netherlands. Afterwards, He was explaining about the preparation files, fee agency, language test both English and Dutch (I never study about Dutch language anyways) and if everything is going to be good then I am ready to go. I am not doubt anymore. I had chosen it and had decided what I like in my life. I thought it is challenges that I must take and handle it. I know it is not going to be an easy-journey but I believe I am going to make it through. I believe that my dreams; such as: travelling and living abroad, to be an independent woman, responsible to myself, learn other languages and cultures; will come true as soon as possible.

      Finally, today my visa had just confirmed and I am ready to go. On 13th, March 2013 will I always remember for the whole of my life. Can you imagine what is like and can you feel the atmosphere? I am so excited!. It was a year waiting for this long journey and now that dreams will be coming true in just a few days. I can only say to God to bless me with His love and guide me by Your eyes. I am really happy and of course feel nervous just because I decided to become an AU-PAIR.

Wacht voor mijn, de nederlandse - Ik hou van Oranje.

Greeting from the Netherlands.
