What is it like for families who have started working with a Family Assistant or Nanny? What benefits do they notice? And how do they find combining family and career in this way? We share three experiences from real life.
- Completely taken care of, and calm for the whole family
From the moment we begin the selection process together, our families feel wonderfully taken care of. Once the Nanny or Family Assistant has started, they soon notice how much calm this brings to their family life. “We should have done this much sooner” is something we hear often. Parents can give their children more quality attention, and the children no longer have to go to a different babysitter, childcare or after school care time and again. With a Nanny or Family Assistant at home, they can simply play at home with their friends. And the household? That keeps running smoothly thanks to the Nanny or Family Assistant, so suddenly you have oceans of time.
Anne describes working with TFA as follows:
“We recently found a fantastic Nanny/Assistant through The Family Assistant. TFA listened carefully to what we needed and, based on that, found a very suitable candidate. We were completely taken care of throughout the entire placement process and the start of our Assistant. Highly recommended!”
2. Happy children thanks to a Nanny or Family Assistant
We often hear that children adore their Nanny or Family Assistant. Suddenly they have a new playmate, and they also sense that their parents are more relaxed when they are at home. The Nanny or Family Assistant has time to do fun things with the children, helps them with homework and collects them from school. A familiar face and a steady routine are things children truly love. And that is exactly what a Nanny or Family Assistant provides!
Louise describes working with TFA as follows:
“It is fantastic, I already cannot do without her! She is so practical, she sees the same jobs I see without me having to ask, she is so kind and so helpful. Most important: the children are crazy about her. I am SO glad we chose to work with you and that you found her.”

3. Better career opportunities and a better work life balance thanks to a Nanny or Family Assistant
We see that parents are better able to seize career opportunities once they start working with a Nanny or Family Assistant. Running a family alongside a career is, after all, a demanding feat. As a result, many parents work less than they would actually like and sometimes have to let an exciting project or a new client pass them by. Because a Nanny or Family Assistant takes over the care of the children and a great deal of organising, both parents feel they have room to take on new opportunities. They have more energy, and that is noticed at work too. It is no surprise, then, that many of our parents say they have a better work life balance since their Nanny or Family Assistant arrived.
Bianca described working with TFA as follows:
“We are extremely happy with TFA’s service! Through them we have a lovely lady working for us who cares for our 2 young children. This means I can go to work with peace of mind and I have the flexibility to take up opportunities I might otherwise have had to turn down. I would recommend anyone who has the chance to get in touch with them and discover what TFA can offer.”
