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.

I highly recommend Nikita for your kraamzorg. My husband and I are expats (German & American) and the kraamzorg system is new to us. Welcoming our first child into the world was exciting yet daunting in a “foreign” country. The minute Nikita came into the house she was helpful and compassionate yet firm and direct. I had complications early on (both mastitis and a bladder infection) and she made me feel at ease with her competence and quick follow-up to coordinate care with the midwife. She massaged my boob for more than an hour more than once to work out the the hard spots which reduced my pain substantially. She proactively cooked, cleaned, and kept the house together. She also brought a kraamzorg who was in training (Cassiana) who was excellent and added an additional layer of help during this vital time. By the time Nikita left, we felt like we were ready and had the confidence to care for our daughter. Thank you, Nikita!! Caitlin. Thomas, Fiona and Schnitzel

Lamyae was amazing – from the very first moment she arrived we felt supported, reassured & very well looked after. She has such a kind nature & as a first time mother she made me feel so much calmer. She is highly experienced & my partner & I were so grateful to receive all of her guidance & advice. Highly recommended!

We waren heel blij met tatsjana en cassiana. Tatsjana weet een heleboel en heeft ons erg prettig op weg geholpen met de tweede. Naast alle praktische dingen met de baby ontzorgde ze ons ook volledig in het huishouden. We hadden verder het geluk dat we Cassiana als stagiair erbij hadden waardoor we eigenlijk dubbele zorg kregen!
