The benefits of finding a Nanny through TFA
Nannies working through TFA are carefully screened, pedagogically skilled and hold a related degree. They have extensive experience working with children and provide a safe and trusted environment in which the children grow up. This allows children to develop at their own pace and level. We find it important that our Nannies are given the opportunity to develop themselves. Following our master classes ensures that they provide a high quality service from day one. In doing so, we continue to coach and guide the Nannies where necessary. Our Nannies basically live in their own home and work about 30-40 hours for a family. We work with Dutch Nannies, but also with Nannies who speak a second language in addition to Dutch. Also to expats or parents with multiple nationalities who are pursuing a multilingual upbringing, we can match suitable candidates.
Our Nannies have the following qualities:
- Discreet and reliable
- Passion for working with growing children
- Flexible and deployable at any time
- Great sense of responsibility
- Creative and open-minded
- Proactive and always thinks one step ahead
- Representative and possesses good manners
- Role model for the children and the family's calling card
- Stress resistant and always have a positive attitude
