We're here to help.
Flexible assistance in your home: mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights.
We'll be your lifeline during this chaotic time, because the fourth trimester is already hard enough, especially when you're missing your extended family around you.

When an expat family is expecting a child, sudden changes can make them feel unsettled. We ensure the entire family is prepared and supported, so your employee can focus on their work while we take care of everything else.
You invested in the relocation and brought your employee to the Netherlands. But somewhere along the way, their partner, who followed to support the move, is starting to feel the absence of a home base, and loneliness quietly sets in… and so starts the distraction at work.
Without familiar faces nearby, the days grow quiet and heavy, and that isolation follows the whole family home. Then a child arrives, or someone falls ill, and they realise they can no longer lean on the support of extended family, exactly when they need it most. That weight travels to work, focus slips, and eventually the whole family reconsiders staying.
The relocation and settling-in package is completed. But who is there for them after this period, when help is needed?
When one partner wants to leave, the whole family follows.

Warm, practical, in-home support for mothers and families, fully tailored to each family's needs.
Family First is here for mothers who, temporarily or otherwise, need or simply want an extra helping hand. We provide warm, practical, in-home support without judgment, fully tailored to each family's needs. No rushed, clock-watching care, but genuine attention, calm, and flexibility. We believe that caring for mothers is not a luxury, but a basic necessity.
As a Family Support Helper, you will support families in their homes, focusing on creating calm, structure, and relief for mothers.
We are looking for warm, reliable, and caring individuals who naturally understand the needs of families.
You understand what a new mother needs. You recognise the impact of hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, stress, and emotional sensitivity after childbirth. You intuitively sense when rest, emotional support, or practical help is most important, and you know how to offer support without taking over.
The one who notices what others only see when it's too late, and keeps a remarkable family running effortlessly.
Are you the one who notices what others only see when it's too late?
A full calendar. Two children. Demanding careers. A wonderful family where everything keeps moving, but behind the scenes, someone is needed to make sure everything runs effortlessly. Not by doing everything yourself, but by organising everything perfectly.
We are looking for a High-End Family Manager who thinks ahead, keeps the overview, and runs a household with the same professionalism as a well-managed business. You are the one who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. Not because someone tells you what needs to be done, but because you had already foreseen it.
You drive past the house and think: "that wall could do with a fresh coat of paint soon." You notice the temperature dropping and, before anyone else has thought of it, the winter coats are washed, sorted and ready. You know exactly when the car needs servicing and schedule it without anyone having to ask. You glance into the pantry and immediately see what needs restocking. The cleaning professional, gardener and other suppliers are booked before anyone wonders when they're due again. And when the children have a day off school, there's a basket ready with fun activities and the day runs as if it organised itself. That's what you do, and it's what gives you energy.
As High-End Family Manager, you are responsible for the full day-to-day running of the family. You are the central point of contact and make sure everything runs smoothly. Your responsibilities include:
You are present, proactive, engaged and forward-thinking. You don't wait for instructions. You create calm.
You naturally keep an overview. You are proactive, you notice details, you are discreet, you think three steps ahead, and you find satisfaction in a perfectly organised environment.
You also bring:
You work independently within the family, but report periodically to the Head of People. Together you discuss progress, priorities and possible improvements, so the service remains at the highest level.
Do you always see what's needed, before anyone else does? Then we'd love to hear from you. Don't just tell us what you've done. Above all, tell us how you create calm, keep the overview, and make sure a family can enjoy life, because behind the scenes you make everything fall into place.
We're always glad to meet people who share our care for families. Send us an open application and tell us your story.

Let's talk about how Family First can support your relocated employees and the people who matter most to them.
Get in touchFamily First was born from a simple truth: life changes fastest exactly when a family has the least support around them. A new baby arrives. Someone falls ill. A move upends everything. And suddenly the network of friends and family that once carried the load simply isn't there.
We built Family First for the moments that ask more of a family than they can carry alone. Not just any help, but someone who truly understands what a family is going through, and who can adapt to exactly what they need, whether that's a new baby, an illness, a move, or simply a season that has become too heavy.
This is for families who want quality: not a stranger who fills a gap, but a familiar, trusted face who knows what they're doing and becomes part of the rhythm of the home. Practical help, a listening ear, and a steady hand through whatever life brings.
"When the people you'd normally lean on aren't there, we are. That's what Family First means."
