At Gastouderbureau Joekie, parents find a second home for their child during work or study days. The agency mediates small-scale, homely childminder care (gastouderopvang) where children from 0 to 13 years are welcome. Parents receive personal guidance in finding a childminder (gastouder) who fits their family situation and parenting wishes. Joekie arranges all administration, invoicing and helps with childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), so parents can focus on their work with the confidence that their child is well cared for.

Gastouderbureau Joekie mediates childminder care (gastouderopvang) in South Limburg with childminders (gastouders) spread across multiple municipalities. The agency has childminders (gastouders) in towns and villages around Geleen, where the head office is located. Parents can search by distance from their place of residence with filters for age categories. The care can take place at the childminder's (gastouder) home or as in-home care at the parents' home.

Gastouderbureau Joekie is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRKP number: 46 20 92 252) and meets all legal requirements. The agency has a GGD report, dispute-free certificate and works according to protocols for child abuse, privacy and complaints handling. An independent parent committee safeguards the quality of care. Childminders (gastouders) are only registered if they meet the requirements of the Childcare Act, including diplomas, first aid certificate and Certificate of Good Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag).

At Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje, we value personal contact. Parents are assigned a fixed placement coordinator per region who guides them in finding the right childminder (gastouder) and with all questions regarding childcare. We offer high-quality childcare at an attractive price and work with some of the lowest agency fees in the region. Parents can count on adequate support with questions about childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), contracts, and any issues. We aim to respond to questions within 24 hours (on working days).

Our childminders (gastouders) must meet legal requirements such as a suitable diploma, Paediatric First Aid certificate, Certificate of Conduct (VOG), and registration in the Childcare Personnel Register.
