From doing the dishes and changing diapers to caring for your other children while you bond with your newborn, or making time for the things you love, no task is too great or too small. 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.

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."
