Experience you notice at home
Your child receives care that fits their age, personality and your family habits. I am Chaima, 25, born and raised in Amsterdam.
What my experience brings your familyWhat you notice at home
Care that fits your child, with calm, structure and warmth at home.
My childcare qualification and experience at CompaNanny, day nurseries, preschools and after-school programmes help me connect with your child. Inspired by Montessori and Pikler, I give children room to explore at their own pace.
When a child needs additional support, I first look at what does work for them. At a specialised day centre, I supported children with Down syndrome, autism and developmental language disorders. That experience taught me to quickly recognise individual needs and adapt my guidance with care.

How parents experience babysitting at home
“Chaima is a kind and capable babysitter. The children love her cheerful, positive approach. You can tell she has experience with different ages and understands what each child needs. I leave them with her feeling completely at ease.”
Chantal · parent of children aged 4 and 2“She is wonderful. She plans fun activities, sends updates without being asked and had even prepared things for dinner.”
13 July 2026 · children aged 1.5 and 3“So caring with the children. Very experienced and a strong communicator.”
12 July 2026 · children aged 5 months and 3 years“Everything went really well. Chaima was so sweet with our daughter and even did the laundry without us asking.”
10 July 2026 · child aged 1“Wonderful and experienced with young babies. She was very helpful and also helped around the house.”
18 June 2026 · child aged 5 months“Lovely babysitter. Our daughter had a great time.”
13 June 2026 · child aged 6“Our children loved spending time with Chaima. She even helped around the house on her own initiative. We happily recommend her.”
30 June 2026 · children aged 2 and 6“Our son felt comfortable straight away. They ate, played and read stories together, and bedtime went very smoothly.”
18 November 2023 · child aged 7“Chaima is an incredibly kind, reliable and dedicated babysitter. Even when things are hectic with three young children, she remains patient and keeps an overview. She is confident, notices what is needed and helps where appropriate, for example with preparing food or tidying up. I would recommend her to anyone. If I still lived in the Netherlands, I would ask her to babysit very often.”
Desiree · children aged 4 years, 2 years and 3 months“Chaima came across as a very warm and caring person. She is experienced and flexible, and looked after my two boys very often from when they were still babies. They adore her, and I always left them with her feeling completely at ease. Now that they are at school, we no longer need a babysitter as often, but I wholeheartedly recommend her and would always trust her with my children.”
Yazmin · parent of two boys · from ages 8 months and 3.5 years“Chaima was absolutely fantastic! It was only our second time ever using a babysitter, so we felt quite nervous. Chaima clearly knows what she is doing and has a great deal of experience. She is also very kind and an excellent communicator. We highly recommend her!”

You can cancel free of charge until one hour before the agreed start time. If you cancel within that final hour, you pay for one hour at the agreed hourly rate instead of the full appointment. If I cancel within one hour of the start time, the first hour of your next babysitting appointment lasting more than four hours is on me.
There is a €10 travel charge per visit for the round trip within my usual service area. If the appointment ends at 23:00 or later, you also pay for my taxi home. A paid taxi home is a condition for these appointments, agreed in advance. For other locations, I confirm travel costs beforehand.
We speak briefly by video or phone. You can ask questions, we discuss your family routine and you know in advance who will be at home with your child.
