ViaViela helps parents find a reliable childminder (gastouder) for small-scale childcare in a home environment. With a national network of more than 4,500 childminders and dedicated contact persons in every region, the agency offers personal guidance throughout the entire process: from searching and matching to ongoing support during the care arrangement. Parents can search for childminders themselves via the online platform or be assisted by a local contact person. ViaViela ensures careful screening of childminders, pedagogical support, and quality monitoring, so parents can be certain their child is in good hands.
