Looking for a Nanny, Family Assistant or Personal Assistant for your family?
The Family Assistant brings experienced Nannies and Family Assistants together with families and entrepreneurs who need support they can rely on. Someone who thinks ahead, takes work off your hands and creates calm and overview, at home and at the office. We start with a personal conversation, so that we understand who you are and which support suits you.
We look beyond experience and availability. It is personality, talents and energy that determine whether someone truly fits. That is why we select every candidate personally and only introduce people we are fully convinced of.

What drives us
My vision for TFA has been shaped by years of experience on both sides. After ten years as a Nanny and later as a Family Assistant, I know the substance, the responsibility and the value of this profession. As an entrepreneur and a mother of three, I know from my own experience how much it means to have someone at home you can trust completely.
I believe the right person in your home brings more than calm. It brings trust, continuity and the space to grow, both as a family and in your career. That belief is why we are building a professional standard at TFA, with personal attention, quality, development and good employment practice at its heart.
Naomi Plijnaar, Founder TFA
