Nanny or Family Assistant in Amstelveen and the surrounding area
Amstelveen, Amsterdam Zuid and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel are just a stone's throw from the Zuidas business district and Schiphol. That makes the area attractive to families in which one or both parents have an international career, travel often or work long days. That is exactly when it matters that everything at home keeps running. The Family Assistant matches families in this area with carefully screened Nannies and Family Assistants who work for one family, from 30 hours a week.
International families between the Zuidas and Schiphol
Amstelveen is home to families from all over the world. Many are here for a number of years because of work, with children at an international or bilingual school. If you have just moved, you do not yet know the Dutch childcare system, you are not sure what to look out for when screening a Nanny yourself, and you have no local network to fall back on. We take all of this off your hands, from the first conversation to the evaluations. Read more about TFA for expats.
A Nanny who speaks English and knows the area
A Nanny or Family Assistant can also help you find your way in practical matters, such as finding the right school, municipality procedures or healthcare registrations.
A Family Assistant for parents who travel
When one parent travels regularly, running the family often falls to one person. A Family Assistant then becomes the right hand who keeps everything in view. Think of:
- Managing the family diary and scheduling appointments, both business and private.
- Booking travel, restaurants and concerts.
- Taking children to and from school and sports clubs.
- Handling deliveries and keeping the household well stocked.
- Coordinating other staff and the maintenance of the house.
- Organising children's parties, dinners and birthdays.
A Nanny through TFA is also willing to travel with the family when that suits your situation. Read the difference between a Nanny and a Family Assistant.
From first conversation to evaluation
After an introductory phone call, we schedule an intake meeting at a time that suits you. Our candidates are thoroughly screened, with at least two references, a certificate of good conduct (VOG), diplomas and first aid, and have completed the TFA Academy. Within six weeks of confirming the search, you receive the CVs of suitable candidates. TFA schedules the interviews, after which we evaluate together and arrange a trial session. When the connection is right, you offer an employment contract, and we are happy to help. We get in touch one week after the start and evaluate again after three weeks, six months and ten months.

A Nanny without a spare room
Our Nannies live in their own homes and come at agreed times, for example full time or 32 hours a week. That makes a dedicated Nanny possible in an apartment too, without giving up a room.
