Host parents

Becoming a host parent at Home from Home

At Thuis van Huis, you'll receive personalized guidance, and we're committed to you as a childminder and everything that entails. We take your work seriously and ensure you can do what you do best: provide children with safe, warm, and loving care.

We help with administration (invoicing, collections, and annual statements) and your registration in the National Childcare Register (LKR). Then we find the right match with children and parent(s) who are a good fit for you. You focus on the children, and we'll take care of the rest.

Why become a host parent through Thuis van Huis?

As a childminder with us, you benefit from advantages that make work enjoyable and organized:

Personal guidance

We are always ready to provide advice, personal guidance and support in all phases of childcare.

Professional certainty

We manage your contracts, administrative processes, registration in the LRK and monitor quality, so you can work without worries.

Flexibility

You determine your care times and working methods within the legal framework, and we tailor the support to your personal situation.

Financially well arranged

We use a simple registration system and ensure you receive invoices and payments at a fixed time each month. It's so easy!

Network & involvement

We connect you with families and maintain close involvement through evaluations, regular visits, and clear communication. We value easy accessibility and maintain short lines of communication.

Extras & support

You will receive a starter pack with pedagogical and practical information, can take advantage of free courses/first aid, and we will support you with replacements and provide annual risk assessments and evaluations.

Our working method: step-by-step guidance

We will guide you step by step, so you can start or continue as a childminder without any worries.

1. Registration

You register with us as a (future) childminder. We'll contact you for a personal introductory meeting.

2. Introduction and preparation

We'll discuss your needs, experience, and options. Together, we'll determine what suits you best and whether you already meet the (legal) requirements.

3. Registration & control

We'll work with you to conduct a risk assessment, ensure all documentation is in order, and submit the application for registration with the municipality. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) will then visit your home for an inspection and interview. After approval, your location will be registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). This will be followed by an annual Risk Assessment and Evaluation (RIE) and, if necessary, an inspection by the GGD.

4. We look for the right match!

We're looking for families that match your childcare style. As soon as we find a good match, we can begin caregiving.

5. Guidance and evaluation

Even after the initial start, we remain involved. You can always contact us for questions, consultations, or support. We strive to maintain high quality and believe it's important that our host parents continue to develop. That's why we offer various theme evenings, online training courses, and pediatric first aid. We conduct an annual evaluation and are always available to assist you.
