A new beginning in the Netherlands: Diana’s Story
Friday 24 October 2025
At Uitzendbureau Flexibel, we believe everyone deserves a fresh start. For Diana (22) from Ukraine, her new life began in 2022 when she decided to move to the Netherlands in search of safety and new opportunities.
“The move was a big challenge for me because I had to leave everything familiar behind. But I was convinced I could make it,” says Diana.
The first months were not easy. Without Dutch or English, communication was difficult, and arranging documents and housing took time. Yet Diana never gave up. With the support of people around her, she found her place in Dutch society.
“Despite all the difficulties, I felt that Dutch society is open and willing to help.” When Diana started working with Uitzendbureau Flexibel, everything changed. We arranged her transport and supported her fully during her first working days.
“From that moment on, my life changed because they provided comfortable transport and 100% support at work.” Over the next two years, Diana continued working through us. Her coordinator Tunc was always there to help.
“Whenever I had questions or problems, my coordinator Tunc was ready to help.”
Even when she travelled back to Ukraine, we made sure her job was waiting for her upon return.
After two years, Diana received a permanent contract, a moment of pride and achievement. When transport became an issue again, her former coordinator offered help immediately. “I didn’t expect a positive answer, but he kindly agreed to keep helping me with transport. I’m very grateful.”
Today, Diana looks back with pride. What started as a challenge became a journey of growth, strength, and trust. “Now I see this experience not only as a challenge but as an important part of my personal development.”
We at Uitzendbureau Flexibel are proud to have been part of Diana’s journey — one of many stories of new beginnings in the Netherlands.
