All depends a lot on your nationality. Most western countries a short tourist visit to other schengen countries will be no problem.

If you want to work as au pair in the Netherlands you will need to get a Dutch Temporary Residence Permit (unless you are a European Union citizen). A long stay visa or a residence permit issued by one Schengen country enables the border-less travel to the other Schengen countries for a stay of up to 90 days per semester without the need to get another visa. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/111&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en .. â—‹-â—‹-â—‹ Added (based on the next answer): The Dutch "Verblijfsdocument" will only enable the travel to the other Schengen countries, not to all of Europe. Bulgaria, Ireland, Romania, or the United Kingdom cannot be visited since they do not apply to the Schengen agreement although they are member countries of the European Union (EU). http://dc.the-netherlands.org/Services/Consular_services/Visa/US_citizens/Traveling_to_the_Netherlands/Tourist_and_Business_Visa_for_the_Netherlands_Schengen/See_also/Map_of_Schengen_countries .. Non-EU countries will not accept Schengen visa with some exceptions (Albania, Montenegro). It will depend on the passport of your home country whether you can travel without visa to other European countries out of the Schengen zone. http://www.skyteam.com/about/travelhelp/travelinfo.html ..

Yes, if you have a job you will get a residence permit. This permit will enable you to travel around Europe.
