Our mission

Personal

At Amsternannies, personal attention for families and Nannies comes first.

Our personal service makes Amsternannies unique among babysitting agencies. Do you need a Nanny? With one message we ensure that a good match is ready, so you don't have to make a selection yourself and wait for responses from the Nannies. Our account managers ensure that a Nanny is ready, even at the last minute, so that the planning is completely taken off your hands.

How it works

We schedule an (online) intake interview with each family, during which we would like to hear everything about your family. This way we can create an extensive family profile.

After the intake interview, we will look for the perfect match for you. If her profile appeals to you, we will schedule an introduction.
When both parties are enthusiastic, the Nanny can get to work.

We have regular contact with both the family and the Nanny, so that we continue to monitor whether everything is as desired.

We are available (almost) 24/7 for additional babysitting requests. We will arrange a replacement if a Nanny is ill or if you need a Nanny at the last minute. We ensure that there is a nice Nanny at all times.

  • Fixed Service (weekly recurring day)

Find your perfect Nanny!

A good Nanny is worth gold. At Amsternannies we do everything we can to find the perfect match for you. We do this personally and do not outsource it to a platform. We think it is very important that you close the door behind you with a good feeling and know that the children have a good time with the Nanny. Personal contact with both the families and the Nannies is not only our starting point when making the match, this is an important part during the entire period at Amsternannies. We would love to meet you soon during an intake interview!

Become a Nanny

Get started with the nicest families in Amsterdam!

As an Amsternanny you can babysit for a fixed (midday) day per week or on a more flexible basis.
If you are still studying, it is sometimes more difficult to commit to a family for a longer period of time. We therefore also make a distinction between Nannies and Premium Nannies. In both cases, you have a lot of experience with babysitting and you really enjoy it. You are enterprising, proactive, flexible and also enjoy helping out around the house.

To become a Premium Nanny, follow the Nanny Academy program.

Register and we will ensure that you can get started quickly!

  • Every Friday Manny picks up Tim, Helmer from school. They often go to the skate park together or play with Lego at home. Helmer really enjoys getting 1 on 1 attention from Tim, he really feels like a big brother.

  • I have been babysitting three children in Amsterdam Center for 2.5 years. I pick them up from school with the cargo bike at 2:45 PM. We usually stay in the schoolyard to play for a while or take friends home with us. On Thursday afternoon I have to go to football training with them. At the end of the afternoon I cook for the children and eat with them. For me it is easy to combine with my working groups in the morning and I like that the days always look different with children.

  • As a self-employed person, I work three days a week and I find it ideal to also babysit for two days. Every Thursday and Friday I look after Max (3) and Loek (1). During the day we go outside together a lot, we often do some shopping and at the end of the afternoon I often give them a bath and we eat together. I think it's great fun to build such a good bond with the boys, but also with the parents. The ideal change from my office job!

Our story

We, Evelien Hunink and Dorine van Lith, set up our babysitting agency Amsternannies in 2014 because we are both convinced of the benefits of childcare at home. After more than 10 years of babysitting experience, setting up a babysitting agency was a logical choice for us at the time. Amsternannies is a young and fast-growing babysitting agency, with a large reliable network of Nannies. “The combination of our fields (business administration & orthopedagogy), our experience and our network, makes Amsternannies the babysitting agency in Amsterdam.” We are now mothers ourselves, Evelien of Hugo ('18), Emilie ('21) and Bella ('24) and Dorine of Julian ('19) and Cato ('21).

As a Nanny, they were happy to take care of baby twins, a toddler and the household at the same time, but as a mother with three children, you run out of time. We are so grateful for all those fantastic Nannies who make it happen every day!

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for parents

Can I request additional services with both subscriptions?2023-09-12T13:55:11+00:00

Yes, it is possible to request an extra (mid) day or evening in addition to the regular babysitting services. The mediation costs are €13.95 per additional babysitting service, in addition to the costs of your VAST subscription. There is no maximum purchase amount for this.

With the FLEX subscription you can purchase unlimited items and the mediation costs per additional babysitting service are €14.95. At the end of the month you will receive an invoice with the total number of babysitting services that have been purchased.

Are Amsternannies' babysitting services eligible for Childcare Allowance?2023-07-13T12:44:41+00:00

No, childcare allowance cannot be claimed for the services of Amsternannies.

FAQ for Nannies

When I have completed the Nanny Academy, can I start working as a Premium Nanny with certainty? Will I always get €15.00 - €20.00 per hour?2024-09-05T13:17:51+00:00

In principle, we deploy the Premium Nannies to families who need them and also pay that hourly rate. It may happen that at a certain time there is a demand for a Nanny, but not specifically for a Premium Nanny. We will then present this to you, whether you want to start somewhere or whether you would rather wait for another request.

What additional tasks can parents expect when I start working as a Premium Nanny?2023-09-12T13:40:15+00:00

As a Premium Nanny, you are expected to cook for the whole family, but also to think proactively about the household chores. For example, if you see that the diapers are gone, go get them. If the children are dirty after a day of playing outside; give them a nice bath and throw the clothes in the wash. As a Premium Nanny you really go the extra mile.
