Congratulations on your

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.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful first week, helping us to bond with Zoe extra and a wonderful story to tell. We really didn’t know what to expect with Zoe being our first baby and when we arrived home from hospital we were experiencing all different emotions including being overwhelmed with happiness, not knowing what to do and nervous at the same time. We are so grateful to have benefited from your experience, positivity, confidence, warm and kind presence with techniques we are still using now Zoe is 5 weeks old, we still think of you and I’m sure we will continue to. It’s quite an intense week, words cannot express how grateful we are and also for putting up with our different emotions! We hope to keep in touch from time to time and wish you all the best always… please do contact me if you would like to visit Cyprus, With Love & Best Wishes, Andrea & Robbie Xx kraamzorg Haarlem… Collapse
