Peace of mind for you, attention for your child

Your child follows the familiar routine at home, while you stay informed during and after the babysitting.

Home routines stay familiar

As a mother of two, I know how much safety, recognition and familiar habits matter.

You stay connected

I create a group chat with both parents and share a brief update during and after the babysitting.

Practical calm around your childPractical calm

I think ahead around meals, play and bedtime while following what works for your family at home.

What my experience brings your familyWhat you notice at home

Care that fits your child, with calm, structure and warmth at home.

No two children need exactly the same approach. My childcare qualification and experience at CompaNanny, day nurseries, preschools and after-school programmes help me connect quickly with children from birth to age 12. Montessori means giving your child room to discover independently; Pikler means respecting their own pace and development.

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.

Small-scale babysitting at home gives your family room for personal attention. Whether you need a few hours of support during the day or want to enjoy an evening out, I follow the routines your child already knows.

You always know where you stand with me. I communicate openly, keep my promises and calmly update you during and after the babysitting. My training, professional experience and motherhood form the foundation for that.

You know where you stand

Arrangements, updates and the handover remain clear for both parents.

Practical calm

When needed, I help with child-related tasks and I am happy to cook if requested.

Attention to what your child needs at home

“Your family rhythm remains the starting point, from playtime to bedtime.”

“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.”

“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!”
