My name is Noa, I am 33 years old and have been working as a nanny since 2024. I love this job because I can guide children in their own home environment while supporting their long-term development. It gives me great satisfaction to see them grow and discover new things.
Before joining Kroost Nannies, I worked at a daycare center. Although I learned a lot there, I found working with large groups of children, with a daily changing composition, very hectic. It was difficult to build a real bond with the children, something I now greatly appreciate as a nanny.
The contact with the parents is always pleasant. We coordinate the daily routine and activities together, but I also have the freedom to bring in my own ideas and creativity. This way, we create a warm and stable environment for the children.
I now work in Noordwijk, conveniently close to the beach. I enjoy spending time outside with the children, playing in the garden, or going for walks along the shore. On rainy days, I like to organize creative indoor activities, such as crafts or baking together.
I also greatly appreciate the contact with the team at Kroost Nannies. They always provide advice, helpful tips, and interesting training courses that enrich my work. It feels great to be part of a dedicated and enthusiastic team.
My name is Liesbeth, I am 48 years old and have been working for Kroost Nannies since 2020. I really enjoy my work. Before joining this agency, I worked for two other childcare agencies and also have two years of experience at a daycare center. I find the contact with the Kroost Nannies coordinators much more pleasant. They are easy to reach and always ready to help when I have a question or need advice. This gives me a very comfortable and trusted feeling.
I have been working for over three years for a family in Haarlem with three lovely children.
My dog, Boris, happily comes along to the family’s home. The children really enjoy having a pet around since they don’t have one themselves. I like going on walks with the children and my dog, and I am very creative; on rainy days, I enjoy spending time in the kitchen with the children.
I would never want another job. I have the freedom to organize my day and can give plenty of attention to the children.
I enjoy working as a nanny because I get to guide children in their own home environment. You develop a close bond with them and can follow their development over time. Coordinating with the parents happens naturally, and you can put your own spin on things, always in consultation with them.
This type of childcare provides both parents and children with a safe foundation. With mutual trust and respect, a nanny can work closely with the parents to coordinate everything smoothly. Being present in or around the house is a great advantage, especially when a child is unwell. In my case, the parents’ good relationships with several neighbors are an extra support.
Kroost Nannies is an organization where I truly feel at home. They provide high-quality support through advice, engaging courses, and workshops. They also offer a wealth of information on various topics. The team consists of enthusiastic, skilled, and friendly people.
After working in childcare for a long time, it’s great to work as a nanny. You still have set days and hours, without the meetings and other distractions.
Working with one family (or more) also gives you plenty of one-on-one time with the children. You can structure your day however you like: trips to the playground, baking, crafts on rainy days, running errands, and more. You build a strong bond with both the children and the parents.
Still unsure? I’d say get in touch with Christina from Kroost Nannies—maybe it’s the perfect fit for you too.
Margo really enjoys working as an in-home nanny for a family with a 4-year-old girl and a boy who is almost 6. It’s a lovely location, right in the city near Wilhelminapark. The care and guidance of the children are truly central. Margo also appreciates the conditions of in-home childcare provided by Kroost Nannies.
The contact with the children and the parents is intensive and one-on-one, which makes the work relaxed. Margo loves going on outings during school holidays. Recently, the Verkeerstuin in Amersfoort and the botanical garden in Utrecht were on the agenda.
Margo will soon be saying goodbye to the family. She has recently become a grandmother, and caring for her own grandchildren a few days a week unfortunately doesn’t allow her to continue working as a nanny. Margo recommends working as a nanny to everyone: it offers freedom and minimal administrative pressure.
My name is Jolanda, I am 38 years old and have been working for Kroost Nannies for some time. Before this, I also worked for five years as an in-home nanny for another agency. I chose to work as a nanny because this type of childcare allows you to build a really close bond with the family.
You become an important part of the family, and that feels great. I also have complete freedom to organize fun outings with the children. I really enjoy working independently.
I am also very satisfied with Kroost Nannies because the employment conditions are excellent compared to other childcare agencies. My contact person, Monique, is a friendly professional who thinks along with me and is truly there when I need her. Very reassuring!
