Frequently asked questions about finding a babysitter
How do I find a babysitter near me?
+Type your postcode or town in the search bar. You then see babysitters near you and can filter by distance, rate and availability. Prefer to browse by town? On babysitters by town you will find every town with babysitters.
Think first about what you need: a regular babysitter, someone for an evening out, or care after school. Does a babysitter seem right? Send a contact request with a free parent account. If you both agree, your email addresses are shared and you make your own arrangements.
What does a babysitter cost per hour?
+There is no fixed hourly rate: you agree it together. It depends on things like age, experience, number of children and travel time. Of the babysitters on Oppass.nl who list a rate, half charge €12 per hour or less in november 2026. Each profile shows what the babysitter charges.
Extra tasks, such as homework help or cooking, and more children are reasons to agree a higher rate. Read more in the guide what a babysitter costs per hour (in Dutch).
How do I run a good first meeting?
+Ask about earlier experience with children of the same age, references and a VOG (certificate of conduct). If you can, call a family the babysitter has worked for. Also discuss availability, house rules and what the babysitter does if something goes wrong.
You will find a list of questions in the guide first meeting with a babysitter (in Dutch). More tips are on choosing a babysitter safely.
Babysitter, childminder or daycare: what suits me?
+A babysitter usually comes to your home and is flexible: an evening, an afternoon after school or now and then at the weekend. A childminder (gastouder) often looks after children on a few fixed days a week, usually at their own home. A daycare centre or after-school care offers the most structure, with less flexibility.
Oppass.nl is not a childminder agency or childcare organisation: here you find babysitters who created their own profile. Read about the differences in babysitter or childminder (in Dutch).
Does Oppass.nl check the babysitters?
+No. Oppass.nl does not run identity checks, VOG checks or reference checks, and does not select or approve babysitters. We are an online platform where parents and babysitters find each other, not a babysitting or employment agency.
So you decide for yourself who you meet. Check identity and references, ask for a VOG and meet beforehand. See something that is not right? Report it to us. We review every report. In an emergency always call 112.
Is Oppass.nl free?
+Yes, Oppass.nl is currently a free babysitting site. Searching, viewing profiles, creating an account and sending a contact request cost nothing. You agree the babysitting rate directly with the babysitter; Oppass.nl is not involved in that.
I want to babysit. How do I find work?
+Are you 16 or older? Create a free profile with your experience, availability and rate. Parents near you find you through their postcode and send you a contact request. You choose whether to accept. You can also respond to babysitting requests from families. Read how finding work on Oppass.nl works.
