Nina.care: Affordable, flexible childcare for expats in the Netherlands

As an expat living in the Netherlands, raising children far from your home country can feel overwhelming. Without nearby family or long-time friends to help out, you may struggle to find reliable, flexible, and affordable childcare.

That’s where Nina.care comes in, offering a warm, trusted solution that fits your international lifestyle: welcoming an au pair into your home.

What is an au pair?

An au pair is a young person from another country who joins a family for up to a year to assist with childcare and light household tasks in exchange for room, board, and a stipend. It’s a cultural exchange — but also a very practical, everyday support system for your family. Your au pair can assist with school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing simple meals, tidying up, and keeping your children entertained and safe for up to 30 hours per week.

All you need to become a host family is a spare room and an open heart.

The most affordable childcare option for expats

One of the biggest advantages of choosing an au pair is the cost. Traditional childcare options in the Netherlands can be expensive, especially when you’re juggling after-school care, babysitters, or daycare with long waiting lists. With Nina.care, hosting an au pair starts from only €500 per month, making it one of the most affordable and flexible childcare solutions available.

This fixed monthly cost covers up to 30 hours of weekly help. And because your au pair lives with you, there’s no stressful commuting or strict pick-up times to manage.

Build a cultural bridge for your children

Beyond the practical benefits, having an au pair also enriches your children's lives. Whether your au pair comes from a different part of the world or your own home country, your children are exposed to new languages, traditions, and perspectives — right inside your own home!

Some families choose an au pair who speaks their native language to help their children stay connected to their roots. Others enjoy the excitement of discovering a new culture together. Either way, it’s an incredible way to foster cultural curiosity and global awareness at an early age.
