Frequently asked questions about babysitting work
From what age can you babysit?
+On Oppass.nl you can create a profile from age 16. Are you 16 or 17? Talk to your parents or guardians first.
Are you 13, 14 or 15? You cannot create a profile here yet. Babysitting for family, neighbours or friends of your parents is a good way to gain experience. Read more in the guide becoming a babysitter (in Dutch).
How much can you earn babysitting?
+You agree that with the parents. It depends on your age, your experience, the number of children and any extra tasks. In the rate guide (in Dutch) you can see what babysitters on Oppass.nl charge by age and what the legal minimum wage is.
How do I find a family to babysit for near me?
+Families post babysitting requests on Oppass.nl. Respond with your profile: if the parent chooses you, you both receive each other's email address. Parents can also find you when they search by postcode. From age 18 you also appear on your town's page.
A clear photo, a personal text and up-to-date availability improve your chances. Also share your profile link with people around you, for example on WhatsApp or Instagram.
How do I create a good babysitter profile?
+Say in your own words who you are, which ages you have experience with and what you like doing with children. Add a friendly, clear photo and say which parts of the day you are free. Do not put a phone number, email address or link in your text: they will be hidden.
Are you 18 or older and does your profile have a photo and a good amount of text? Then it can also appear in Google, so parents find you even more easily. Have you babysat through Oppass.nl? Ask the family for a review.
Do I pay tax on what I earn babysitting?
+That depends on your situation, for example how many days a week you babysit for the same family. Read the guide paying a babysitter: domestic services scheme and tax (in Dutch) and if in doubt check the website of the Dutch Tax Administration.
Is Oppass.nl a babysitting agency?
+No. Oppass.nl is a platform where parents and babysitters find each other. We are not an employer or a babysitting or employment agency. You make your own arrangements with the parents about times, tasks and rate.
