NederlandsAre you looking for the right nanny agency but feel overwhelmed by the choices? Perhaps I can tell you more about the different working methods of nanny agencies so you can make an informed choice.
Nanny Agency Fees
What you may have already noticed are the significant differences in fees charged by nanny agencies. It’s perfectly understandable that you’d prefer to pay as little as possible for the nanny agency. But have you considered that very inexpensive nanny agencies might only do what is legally required for you and the nanny? From my experience over the past years, there is little to no flexibility with the cheapest nanny agencies. Appointments are automatically scheduled, and you’re expected to be present even if it’s not a childcare day. Every time you call, you get a different person who can’t answer your questions. And because I work as a self-employed professional, I want a nanny agency that is proactive and supportive. And certainly doesn’t want to take over all my tasks, as I prefer to arrange as much as possible directly with the parents. The nanny agency must also check the childcare location for safety and hygiene. This is very important, and you surely want it to be done properly, don’t you? That’s why I believe the fee is certainly not the most important factor, but rather the quality of service provided. After all, it’s about your own child, and you want the best for them, don’t you?
Gastouderbureau Dolfijntjes (Nanny Agency)
The nanny agency I have a good working relationship with is Nanny Agency Dolfijntjes from Ede. This nanny agency always works as agreed, and I’ve only had good experiences with them. The great thing about Dolfijntjes is that they are located in Ede.
Childminder Agency ViaViela
I also have a good working relationship with Childminder Agency ViaViela and can always turn to them with questions. They also offer many opportunities for further training, ensuring my knowledge remains up to date.
