Connected via agency
At SharedCare, we believe it's important that parents and childminders really get to know each other and work well together. We find a childminder who truly fits your family and arrange extensive intake interviews where all wishes are discussed. In case of illness, we immediately look for a replacement, and all agreements are carefully documented. Parents receive a clear quote in advance, and we're happy to help with questions about childcare benefit (kindertoeslag).
