About

Young Expat Services was founded in 2014 by Eline Hausel. After starting Expatkamp (language and sports camp for Dutch children living abroad) Booking.com approached her if she could help Booking.com with their hires to find a local Dutch school.

This grew into an organization of 10 people, working for different companies, schools and private clients.

All employees are educational consultants and experts in education. On daily basis our educational consultants place children into the Dutch and international education throughout the Netherlands. We place around 500 children annually in pre-schools, primary & secondary schools, and day cares.

We are THE experts for internationals to find the right place in a school in The Netherlands.
