What kinds of childcare are available in the Netherlands?

I am in need of a nanny/babysitter/childminder/au pair for my children. Can you suggest some options for me?

How much does baby-sitting cost in the Netherlands?

Fees depend on several aspects such as:

  • age (teenager or adult)
  • experience of the child minder
  • geographic region
  • number of children
  • daytime, evening or after midnight. Usually during daytime and after midnight the fees are higher than in the evening.

If housekeeping duties are also required, a higher fee is common.
