ViaViela region Sittard helps parents find a suitable childminder (gastouder) in a homely environment. The agency listens to your specific wishes and puts you in touch with professional childminders in your neighbourhood. With experience since 2007 and as parents themselves, Marion and Etiënne Devens know what good childminder care should provide. The 'click' between parent and childminder is central to the matching process.
