Family life in Het Gooi: space to live, a full diary
Het Gooi is green and peaceful, but the days of busy parents rarely are. For many families the A1 and A27 motorways set the pace: leaving early, coming home late and traffic that is hard to plan around. Children go to school in the village or further afield, and after school there is training at the sports club, music lessons and play dates. Parents who work at the Media Park in Hilversum or run their own company also know how difficult changing hours are to combine with standard childcare.
A Nanny in Het Gooi: calm and routine for your children
A Nanny through TFA focuses entirely on your children. She handles the school and sports club runs, prepares a healthy evening meal, helps with homework and keeps routines steady, even when one of you gets home later than planned. Our Nannies hold a childcare related diploma, a first aid certificate for children and babies and proven work experience. They live in their own home and arrive at the agreed times, so there is no need to give up a room. Read more about a Nanny through TFA.
A Family Assistant in Het Gooi: the parents' right hand
In a larger household there is often more to organise than childcare alone. A Family Assistant manages the family diary, books appointments with the dentist and GP, arranges maintenance of the house, coordinates other staff and organises birthdays and dinners. If one of the parents runs a business, the Family Assistant can also take on part of the PA work. Read more about a Family Assistant or see the difference with a Nanny.
