Congratulations on your
pregnancy!

Kraamzorg Professionals is a partnership of enthusiastic and experienced maternity caregivers who provide care during the special period of childbirth and the following postpartum period. Our service area is Amsterdam and Haarlem.

We provide high-quality customized care and strive to tailor the care as much as possible to your personal situation and needs.

Our goal is to provide one consistent maternity caregiver throughout the postnatal period. If unforeseen circumstances arise and a change is necessary, we will handle it and ensure a smooth transition by facilitating effective communication and information transfer among our team.

During labor and in the postnatal period, we work together with midwives.

We are all registered with KCKZ (Knowledge Center for Maternity Care) where we can take various courses and training. We are also affiliated with the industry organization BO.

In our organization, we have maternity nurses who speak multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, and Arabic.

All

Dutch health insurance companies reimburse our healthcare services.

Naadje was incredible. She was so kind, patient, and understanding with us. She took her time to teach us new things, answered all of our questions, and provided a lot of support. She gave us the confidence we needed to be able to take care of our first baby on our own. She is fantastic. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I had the wonderful support of Monique and Nikita during my postpartum period, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were so professional, caring, and close, making me feel completely supported every step of the way. As an expat in Amsterdam, this kind of help felt truly special. Every woman deserves this level of care during such an important and delicate moment in life. Monique and Nikita understood me perfectly — they showed deep empathy, took amazing care of both me and my baby, and even cooked delicious meals for us. Their kindness and dedication made all the difference. I have no words to express how grateful I am. I will never forget this experience. Thank you, Monique and Nikita — your work has an incredible impact on families. We wish you all the best! With love and gratitude, Russell, Mercedes, Leon & baby Axel

Wij zijn ontzettend blij met de kraamzorg die Nadia ons heeft geboden. Ze brengt rust in huis en helpt en ondersteunt je waar nodig. Ondanks dat het mijn tweede kindje is waren sommige dingen toch weer even wennen en hierbij heeft Nadia mij goed begeleid. Dik pluspunt is ook dat ze heerlijk kan koken. We zullen haar missen hier in huis!
