The key point

Evenings, weekends, holidays, changing hours and a need to stay at home are strong reasons. For daily group care, daycare may fit better.

  • Choose based on need
  • Check real availability
  • Compare total service, not only hourly price
2

Start with the real care need

Write down the hours you need to cover, where care takes place and the routine your child knows. This lets you compare solutions by substance, not only by a search term.

  • Date, start and finish time
  • Age and number of children
  • Language, allergies and emergency contact

Questions for a suitable match

A reliable care session starts with precise information from both sides. Check relevant experience and record expectations before confirmation.

  • Experience with the right age group
  • Availability for the full duration
  • Boundaries for meals, screens, outings and bedtime
4

Prepare the first ten minutes

Plan a short handover while the children are present. Show important spaces, repeat the emergency contact and confirm the sitter understands the key instructions.

  • Phone contact and house key
  • Medication only under the agreed policy
  • Leave only after handover is complete
5

Price and confirmation

The online estimate shows rate and minimum duration. Your request then moves to matching. It is confirmed only after a suitable sitter accepts and the team reviews the match.

  • Four-hour minimum for standard care
  • No availability guarantee before matching
  • Payment and status kept in the platform
6

The boundary of this solution

Babysitter Aan Huis is not a daycare centre or group childcare setting. The sitter travels to one family home for the agreed care session.

  • No physical childcare centre
  • No standard school transport
  • No live video or child tracking at launch
