Mission & vision
KINOP is a family business founded from our own childcare needs. Our mission is to relieve parents as much as possible by offering high-quality childminder (gastouder) care. We set high standards for our childminders and nannies because we know how important good care is. Our vision is based on spontaneity, hospitality and professionalism — a blend of our Dutch and Chilean roots. We operate on the principle that we only work with childminders where we would send our own children.
