Dear Sunshine Au Pair Team,
I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done to help make my EU dream come true. Your support, care, and guidance have made a world of difference. From helping with all the paperwork and matching me with a host family, to making me feel welcomed and at ease — you’ve been there every step of the way.
Because of you, I’ve had the chance to live, learn and grow in a new country, to experience a new culture, and to meet people who have become like family. I am deeply grateful for your kindness, your patience, and your professionalism.
Thank you also for believing in me, for investing your time and energy, and for making sure that this journey is so much more than just “moving abroad” — it’s been a life-changing, beautiful experience.
It's been a very good year! And that's also thanks to the Sunshine Agency.
A very good and efficient agency! And I had the best program manager, Bruna Cunha❤️. If you want to have an incredible experience, join the Sunshine family.

As an au pair working through Sunshine, I can say with utmost honesty that they have been nothing shy of helpful in every way that they can. The program managers make sure to handle every single situation swiftly and with the utmost care, and really make sure that the au pairs feel safe and supported throughout their year’s stay. Cannot recommend them enough!

I had the best experience with Sunshine. When I needed to go through a rematch, I received all the support I could ask for, which made the whole process much easier. Bruna, who was responsible for my process, was amazing and had my back all the time. The agency was always there for me, especially helping with family matters I didn’t want to deal with on my own, which gave me a lot of security. I’m really grateful and for sure recommend them!

Sunshine Agency does not provide real support to host families. Your rights will not be respected if you are a host family! While the au pair’s perspective is taken as fact without proper investigation. Even when the au pairs end up working in ways that are not legal under the Dutch au pair visa, yet the agency ignores this. Host families are left without fair treatment or protection.

Sunshine Aupair is such a big help in my journey of coming here in The Netherlands and becoming an aupair myself. They help me in every step of processing my papers and patiently look for a host family that would match me. All the staff are very kind, welcoming, accommodating and helpful. They are always open and ready to answer all my questions when I don't understand something or when I'm not sure of something. They also organize events for au pairs to mingle with each other as well as events for au pairs to explore different cities and countries. Sunshine really becomes a ray of sunshine in my life because they light up the pathway for me to discover new things, experience different culture, meet new people and visit new places. I learn to discover a different version of myself and become a bit independent and confident about myself and all of these is because I take the risk of applying as an aupair at Sunshine. They are one of the reasons why I can explore the places that I never imagined to visit and experience. I am very grateful that I become an aupair of Sunshine. One of the events that I won't forget that Sunshine organized is the First aid event for new au pairs because I met a lot of my fellow au pairs and made friends with them. I also learned first aid and ate lots of Filipino food.

The best agency if you are applying as an Au Pair in Netherlands. I am now in Netherlands now. I am from the Philippines, and I am grateful to Sunshine with all the help they gave.

Reply from Sunshine Au Pair
it’s my first time attending this First aid and I’ve learned a lot. The first aid instructor was very great and very detailed, experienced also how to do the CPR for adults and Kids which was very great for emergencies. I have now the knowledge on how to handle kids specially in emergency times on the correct way of handling them. The food that prepared by the Agency was very yummy! I miss asian food so much! The event organizers where very awesome! Meet new friends from different countries and they were very kind! Thank you for making my 1st month stay in the Netherlands more memorable Sunshine Au Pair!
