At YourKidZ at Home, we believe it's important that your child feels at home in a safe and familiar environment. We offer small-scale childminder (gastouder) care with personal attention at its heart. Our childminders create a homely atmosphere where your child can build a bond with a consistent caregiver.
We understand that every parent has different wishes for their child's care. That's why we take the time for an extensive intake conversation at your home to learn about your specific needs. We then carefully search for a childminder who is the best fit for your family, both in terms of personality and practical requirements.
Our childminder agency mainly operates in the Land van Heusden en Altena, Bommelerwaard and the area around Gorinchem. We serve this region from our branch in Werkendam.
