We are super proud and happy to introduce our Certified Childcare Consultant Course! 🎓👶 You say what now? We know it's a mouthful, but it deserves to be! It was a loooot of work! Yes, aside from growing and expanding to other countries, we have worked our socks off to develop an 8-module course that's all set to give our au pairs an amazing upgrade in the childcare department. Think of childhood development stages and milestones, safe and healthy environments, planning activities and routines, different parenting and discipline styles and how to settle on behavioural agreements and house rules. Pretty important, am I right? Oh and no long and boring lectures by the way – we're giving real-life case scenarios and examples to bring all those theories to life! We end the course with a live feedback and review session to improve and make sure there are no questions left. With this course, our au pairs elevate their knowledge and our parents gain a little extra confidence knowing their kids are in the safest, most caring and capable hands. Big shout out to Holland Page, Shereen Faye Kollmann, MSc. and Brenda Ribó Sterk for all the hard work! What do you think of our new addition to the program? ✨ #ninacare #aupair #aupairagency #aupairtraining #childcare #training #scaleup #startup

Why a Workation in Ibiza is a Valuable Investment for My Startup Yes, we went to Ibiza - but it's not just for fun in the sun. While it might sound extravagant, both for our company, Lyla, and for me personally, it's an investment that we firmly believe in. With 37 team members and a revenue of 2.7 million last year, here's why we're planning to do it again for sure next year. But first, let's talk numbers, shall we? I'll reveal the budget for our 4-day workation in Ibiza at the end of this post, and then you can decide whether you think it's worth it. 1. Communication and Information Efficiency Just imagine the immense value of our various departments connecting and communicating more effectively now that they know each other on a deeper level. Instead of relying on chance encounters, we proactively encouraged team members to sit next to colleagues they didn't know well. Those rental car rides led to some fantastic unplanned "coffee small talk" moments that can't be quantified in terms of value. 2. Team Vibes – Ready for Any Challenge Building a startup is a tough endeavor. Elon Musk once vividly described it as "like eating glass and liking the taste of blood." While that might be a tad extreme, our team operates under considerable pressure. Developing technology, serving customers who use it, and achieving rapid growth are not for the faint of heart. Lyla and I strongly believe that in a safe and cohesive environment, where colleagues trust and enjoy each other's company, we can tackle any challenge that comes our way. 3. Recruitment and Brand Building We encouraged our colleagues to tag us and post about the trip, showcasing it as a workation. Sure, it's true that corporate jobs often come with fatter paychecks, but there's something money can't buy: a close-knit group that collaborates on building innovative, adventurous, and exciting projects. Think about the cost of hiring a recruiter, and then you'll see the value in our budget. Budget Now, let's dive into the budget. But before that, let's give a loud round of applause to Romana, our meticulous HR manager. She managed the trip's program and budget down to the smallest detail, ensuring that everyone had an amazing time. Sure, we shared desserts, went glamping instead of 5* hotels and limited the choice of certain drinks ( cocktails are €18 on Ibiza my goodness) Romana kept a close eye on the budget, and that was perfect you need to place the money where the value is! And now, the moment you've been waiting for - the budget was... drumroll... 450 euros per person. I'll let you do the math and decide if it's a sound investment. Jasmijn

Did you spot us on the NOS news last night? 📺✨ Oh yes, we're trending! More and more families in the Netherlands are swapping traditional childcare for a cultural exchange with an au pair. The interviewer wondered why this is happening. Why are families increasingly choosing to host an au pair? Well, who could answer that better than us?! Living costs keep on rising, and childcare spots are nearly impossible to find... especially in big cities! That's why families need to find an alternative. An au pair can be the perfect solution! Hosting an au pair means flexible, high-quality care for your kids. Not to mention, it's a unique cultural experience that your family will cherish forever. You'll broaden your children's world... How amazing is that?! The fact that it's also more cost-effective than regular childcare is just the cherry on top. So, it's no wonder more and more families are choosing an au pair! Want to know more? Check out the NOS news item here: https://lnkd.in/eJyh7dBw or read the NOS article right here: https://lnkd.in/eHHKNMCb or check-out

BAM! ✨🎉 Dit artikel van de Volkskrant slaat de spijker op zijn kop! De manier waarop de kinderopvang in Nederland is georganiseerd, moet veranderen. Dat is iets wat we bij Nina.care al jaren zien. We probeerden eerst een oplossing te vinden door ons gastouderbureau op te richten, maar realiseerden ons al snel dat er een tekort is aan gastouders. Het opzetten van een officiële gastouderopleiding leek de perfecte aanpak: zo konden we onze geliefde oppassers tot gastouders opleiden. Ideaal, toch? Helaas bleek dit geen succes; de taaie, ouderwetse wetgeving en hoge kosten maakten een einde aan ons gastouderbureau.Maar wij hebben een belangrijke missie binnen ons bedrijf: wij willen ouders helpen. Dus, we moesten op zoek naar een andere oplossing. Gelukkig hebben we die gevonden. Als erkend au pair bureau, koppen we iedere dag hardwerkende ouders aan toegewijde, zorgzame en super flexibele au pairs. Dit blijkt dé oplossing te zijn voor het opvangprobleem. Een au pair is niet zomaar een 'nanny', hoewel de meesten van ons onmiddellijk denken aan Tippy van Gooische Vrouwen, klopt dit beeld niet. Au pairs zijn toegewijd en liefdevo en staan altijd klaar om je kinderen op te vangen na een lange schooldag. Ze leren je kids over nieuwe culturen, helpen hen om vloeiend Engels te spreken en ondersteunen onze ouders met 30 uur zorg per week. Het mooiste hieraan? In Nederland hebben we geweldige regels voor au pairs. Wij volgen strikt de IND-wetgeving, niet alleen omdat het moet, maar omdat we er echt om geven. We willen dat het een fantastische ervaring is voor onze au pairs, naast dat het ouders een ideale opvangmogelijkheid biedt. Hoe we dat doen? We begeleiden onze au pairs en families intensief tijdens hun au pair avontuur. We organiseren events, bieden EHBO-en taalcursussen aan en nemen al het papierwerk uit handen. Want als ouder heb je immers al genoeg aan je hoofd. Ik zie je denken, hoe zit het met mijn privacy? Zit ik straks iedere avond met mijn au pair op de bank! Laat ik daar even duidelijk over zijn. Nee, je zit niet elke avond met je au pair op de bank. Daar zit je au pair namelijk helemaal niet op te wachten! Ook je au pair heeft behoefte aan haar eigen leven. Ze gaat eropuit, ontmoet vrienden die ze kent via onze events, of trekt zich even lekker terug in haar eigen kamer. Een extra kamer is overigens ongeveer het enige wat je nodig hebt om in aanmerking te komen voor een au pair uitwisseling. ( badkamer mag he delen! ) En geloof me, de meeste ouders vinden het meer dan de moeite waard om hun kinderen een kamer te laten delen, zodat ze een extra kamer over hebben. Dus, wat denk jij? Is dit de oplossing voor het kinderopvang probleem? Want als we op de overheid moeten wachten… *wordt langzaam grijs* https://lnkd.in/eqbypqVc
Opinie: Wat het cynische kinderopvangsysteem mijn vriendin en mij heeft geleerd: werken is iets voor de rijken
