Job description

We are looking for an experienced, calm, and dedicated nanny for a warm and loving family in Amsterdam (IJburg) who is interested in a long-term commitment to the family. The family consists of a father, mother, and two young children: a curious 2-year-old boy and a calm baby girl who is just a few months old.

The parents describe themselves as open-minded, flexible, and involved. Calmness, routine, and loving attention form an important foundation within the family, without everything having to follow a strict schedule. They enjoy spending quality time together, eating healthy food, going to the market, and leading an active family life. Within the family, there is a strong emphasis on connection, respectful communication, and an open-minded upbringing.

About the children

The oldest is a sociable, smart, and energetic boy who loves playing outside, reading, and discovering new things. He enjoys activities like dance class, playing soccer, and visiting museums. He is curious, quick to make connections, and thrives on explanations, structure, and challenges. He is also currently seeking a little extra attention as he adjusts to life with a baby sister.

Her younger sister is a content and calm baby who is in the midst of her first few months. Experience with newborns is therefore a major plus for this position.

The position

The focus of this role is entirely on caring for and guiding the children. The family is looking for someone who brings a sense of calm, is sensitive, and takes the time to truly connect with the children—a nanny who not only provides care but also contributes ideas, encourages the children, and becomes part of the family as a co-parent.

In addition to caring for the children, parents appreciate it when the nanny keeps the house tidy and organized throughout the day. It would also be nice if she could prepare simple, healthy meals for the family.

Work

• Daily care of both children
• Undertake development-oriented activities
• Providing structure and calm throughout the day
• Playing outside, going for walks, and getting out and about
• Assisting with appointments and activities
• Light household chores related to the children
• Preparing simple, healthy meals
• Contributing ideas regarding the children’s upbringing and development

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a calm, warm, and professional nanny with a natural sensitivity for this family. Someone who is patient, communicates clearly, and feels comfortable within a young, dynamic family.

The ideal candidate:

• Has experience with both toddlers and newborns
• Is calm, organized, and well-groomed
• Takes the initiative and thinks ahead
• Is loving, patient, and consistent
• Speaks Dutch fluently
• Considers healthy food and a clean living environment to be important
• Is flexible and open to occasional travel or evening work, subject to mutual agreement
• Preferably has a driver's license and feels comfortable riding a cargo bike

A background in education is a plus, but not required.

Practical Information

• Start date: Fall 2026
• Hours: approximately 30 hours per week
• Workdays: 3 days a week, to be arranged (preference: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday)

What is on offer?

• A warm, professional, and long-standing partnership within a close-knit family
• A salary between €3,500 and €4,500 gross per month based on a 40-hour workweek, depending on experience and background
• Professional guidance from TFA throughout the entire process
• An independent role that involves a great deal of trust and responsibility
• Working in an open and respectful family environment where communication and cooperation are key
