About Expat Nannies
We connect international families in the Netherlands with childcare professionals. We are a small platform with a few firm beliefs.
Childcare is personal
Trusting someone with your children is one of the most personal decisions a family makes. It is even harder in a country that is not yet home. So we built this platform to feel calm and unhurried. No algorithm decides for you. There is no pressure and no noise.
Nannies deserve professional treatment
Nannies present their own rates and availability, choose which introductions to accept and keep everything families pay them. We never take a cut of their work. The actual arrangement and Dutch law determine each party's obligations.
Trust is earned, not claimed
We review every profile before we publish it: identity, through ID photos or a short video call, and the experience the nanny describes. References are the nanny's own account, and we do not contact referees, so we ask every family to meet the nanny in person, call the references and do their own checks. We would rather have a small directory we can stand behind than a large one we cannot. See exactly what we check on the How-it-works page.
Both sides, protected
Contact details are only exchanged when a nanny accepts an introduction. So nannies stay in control of who can reach them, and families know that a real person said yes. What happens after the introduction is between the two of you.
