3 experiences of families with a Family Assistant or Nanny

What are the experiences of families who have started working with a Family Assistant or Nanny? What benefits do they experience? And how do they find it to combine family and career in this way? We share three real-life experiences with you.

  1. Complete relief and peace of mind for the whole family 

From the moment we go into the selection process together, our families feel incredibly taken care of. Once the Nanny or Family Assistant has started, they quickly notice how much peace it brings to their family life. ''We should have done this much earlier,'' we often hear. The parents can give more quality attention to their children and the children do not have to go to a different babysitter, daycare or BSO all the time. With a Nanny or Family Assistant at home, they can play at home with their friends. And the household? That just keeps running thanks to the Nanny or Family Assistant, so you suddenly have lots of time to spare.

Anne describes working with TFA as follows:

''We recently got a fantastic Nanny/Assistant through The Family Assistant. TFA listened carefully to what we needed and found a very suitable candidate based on that. We have been greatly relieved throughout the placement process and the start of our Assistant. Really highly recommended!''

2. Happy kids thanks to a Nanny or Family Assistant 

We often hear that the kids love their Nanny or Family Assistant. They suddenly have a playmate in addition to feeling that the parents are more relaxed when they are at home. The Nanny or Family Assistant has time to do fun things with the kids, helps them with homework and picks them up from school. A familiar face and a fixed structure is something children really like. And a Nanny or Family Assistant takes care of that!

Louise describes working with TFA as follows:

''It's fantastic, I can't miss her already! She is tremendously hands-on, sees work that I also see without having to ask, she is so sweet, so helpful. Most important: the kids love her. I am SO happy to have partnered with you and to have found her.''

3. Better career opportunities and better work-life balance thanks to a Nanny or Family Assistant 

We see that parents can make better use of career opportunities when they work with a Nanny or Family Assistant. After all, running a family alongside a career is top sport. As a result, many parents work less than they would like to and sometimes have to let go of a nice project or a new client. Because a Nanny or Family Assistant takes the care for the children and a lot of organizational work off their hands, both parents feel free to tackle new opportunities. They have more energy and this is also noticed on the work floor. It is therefore not surprising that many of our parents indicate a better work-life balance since the arrival of their Nanny or Family Assistant.

Bianca described working with TFA as follows:

''We are super satisfied with TFA's service! Through them, we have a super nice lady at work taking care of our 2 young children. As a result, I can go to work with peace of mind and have the flexibility to take on opportunities that I might otherwise have to pass up. I highly recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to get in touch with them and explore the opportunities TFA can provide.''
