Nanny or Family Assistant in Knokke and on the Belgian coast
For many families, Knokke is much more than a seaside resort. Among the villas of Het Zoute, the dunes of Duinbergen and the coastline towards De Haan live parents who run businesses, work internationally or divide their time between the coast and the city. The Family Assistant already matches Nannies and Family Assistants in Knokke, with the same personal attention we give throughout Belgium and the Netherlands.
Our Nannies and Family Assistants work for one family from 30 hours a week. That gives you a familiar face at home: someone who knows your children, your routines and your wishes inside out.
Two homes, one clear overview
Many families in Knokke Heist combine a house by the sea with a home in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent or across the border in the Netherlands. That means two diaries, travel back and forth and a household that has to run smoothly in two places. A Family Assistant keeps it all together. She makes sure supplies are stocked before the family arrives, arranges maintenance of the house, handles deliveries, coordinates other staff and books travel and restaurants.
A Nanny for children who love the outdoors
On the coast, children play on the beach, cycle through the dunes and head to their sports club after school. A Nanny through TFA takes them there and picks them up, keeps a watchful eye and provides a safe and stable environment, even on busy summer days. At home she keeps routines steady, helps with homework and puts a healthy evening meal on the table. Our Nannies hold a childcare related diploma, a first aid certificate for children and babies and proven experience with children.
Entertaining in Het Zoute
Knokke is a place where people love to entertain: a birthday with family, a dinner with business contacts or a summer party in the garden. A Family Assistant organises private events from start to finish and makes sure living and reception rooms always look their best. Meanwhile the family diary stays on track, with dentist appointments, sports lessons and school activities all at the right moment. Read the difference between a Nanny and a Family Assistant.
Discretion on the coast
In a small, close knit community like Knokke, people get to know each other quickly. That is exactly why private matters should stay private. Discretion is one of our three core values, alongside anticipating and taking care of things for you. We treat all information confidentially, and our Nannies and Family Assistants are trained to work professionally and with restraint.
