Frequently asked questions about Babysitting in the Netherlands

Enter your postal code in the Nina.care app and use the filters to find babysitters who match your needs. We show the closest sitters first. You can then chat, get to know each other and arrange a first cup of tea. Save your favourite sitters so we can invite them first when you place a booking.

Start with a relaxed cup of tea, video call or phone call. An introductory interview is free; if you arrange a trial involving childcare, agree on payment beforehand.
Get to know who they are, what they enjoy and their plans for the future. Discuss their availability, experience and expectations, and ask for examples of activities they like doing with children. Share your family’s routines and what matters most to you, too.

Babysitting rates vary by location, experience and responsibilities. Check the rate guidance in the Nina.care app and the hourly rates shown on sitter profiles. Always agree on the rate together before the first booking.

Average: €9–15/h

Nina.care helps you find care that fits your family:

  1. Occasional babysitters: Ideal for a night out or help now and then. Place a booking or chat with sitters whose profiles show they offer occasional care.
  2. Regular babysitters: A good fit for recurring care, such as school pickups or one or more afternoons a week. Some also help with cooking and light household tasks, by agreement. Every-other-week arrangements can work well for parents sharing custody.
  3. Au pairs: Live with your family as part of a cultural exchange and help with childcare, breakfast routines and light household tasks, within the rules of your country.

Nina.care also offers senior care for older adults who need companionship or everyday support.

Nina.care makes profile information transparent so parents can make an informed choice. Members can complete identity verification and upload documents such as a criminal record certificate, medical forms and a first aid qualification. Profiles can also display reviews.
The information available varies by member, so check each profile carefully. We recommend interviewing candidates, asking for references and contacting those references before arranging care.
