Pinar
I am Pinar, the founder of Kraamzorg De Helpende Hand. I am 30 years young and live in Amsterdam. I am half Dutch, half Turkish and because of this I can adapt to multicultural families easily. I really enjoy learning about every culture during my work.
Why did I become a maternity nurse? I really enjoy the satisfied feeling I get when I have completed a maternity week. The maternity week is so intense, you are so close to the life of another family for 1 week. You share beautiful, but sometimes difficult moments with each other. I think it’s important that there is a good connection between us, so that this maternity week will be a very nice and good experience and for me to make a difference this way.
I realize very well that having a baby is very special and certainly not obvious. I am therefore very grateful that I am given the confidence to help families in a vulnerable period such as the maternity week. My goal is to give you as a family a good start and to give you the tools to take care of your baby, so at the end of the week we can look back on beautiful memories.

Hi expectant parents, my name is Shanesia & I am the mother of a beautiful son. After a not pleasant maternity week, I have decided that I want to change this. Maternity care is really great support for new parents. From caring for the baby, recovering the mother to providing emotional support to the entire family.

I am ready to support and guide you through breastfeeding, so that you and your baby can get off to a good start. Together we ensure that you have a wonderful breastfeeding experience. In addition to my specialty in breastfeeding, I am also available to care for the other children in the family. I understand how important it is to pay attention to the needs of all children, so that you as a parent can take some extra time for yourself and the baby. I make sure that all children feel loved during this special period. Let me relieve you of your worries during this special period!
Judjeny
Hello expectant parents! My name is Judjeny and I am 26 years old. From a young age I always knew that I wanted to work with children. I worked at the daycare for 3 full years, mainly in the baby group and I enjoyed it immensely. With the amount of babies that are made in my family, I always found maternity care the most special job ever and I also watched the process very carefully. After the last baby in the family I knew immediately that I had to share my passion with this work! What I want is that you enjoy your little miracle with confidence and peace during the maternity week. With my support and valuable advice I help you understand how your most meaningful period is structured. Breastfeeding can sometimes be challenging for new mothers, that is why I am here to help develop the technique and build up self-confidence to successfully breastfeed. In addition, because of my work experience I also know how important it is to pay attention to other children, so if there are other children present, I would also like to include them in the process! With my cultural background I like to provide you with delicious meals and support you in the household. I speak Dutch, English and Papiamentu. If you have any questions, I would like to hear from you & hope to see you soon!
Maria
I am Maria, I am 30 years old and proud mother of a daughter (2023). I started as a pedagogical employee, after working for the company for 5 years, I needed a new challenge. I still wanted to continue working with children. This is where the love for maternity care started and when I started to delve deeper into this work, the greater the passion became. What I like so much about this profession is to be able to guide and support families in this beautiful period of their lives in their maternity week. A new life is and remains very special. This therefore deserves a good and special maternity week. In which the best care, love and trust are paramount. And with a touch of coziness of course. Nothing is too much and I do everything with passion and pleasure!

Eleni
Hello, I am Eleni, mother of 3 children, 2 boys aged 12 and a boy aged 2. In the past I have worked in various industries, all of which were super fun and educational, but it was not what I really wanted. The thought that I wanted to become a maternity nurse came my way before, but I was pregnant with my 3rd child so it was not the right time or moment to change course. Fortunately, now the moment has arrived! The helping hand came with the advertisement and I immediately dove into it with all my heart and soul. I am proud of myself that I took the step and can now be part of the great team of the helping hand. Every time it is wonderful to be present at the most special moment of the parents' lives: the arrival of the baby. With my patience and calm personality, I pay full attention to you as a brand new family and we create a fun, educational week together. Hope to meet you soon.

My name is Kimberley, I am 36 years old and the mother of three daughters. I live in Amsterdam North. I come from a warm and loving family, where caring for others comes first. I have been working in healthcare with different target groups for over 15 years. But my end goal is to help and care for new parents and their newborn babies. My mother's heart is big and loving and I want to share that with you. During the maternity week I will lovingly help and support where necessary so that you as a family can enjoy and look back on your maternity time with a good feeling.

Dear expectant parents, I am Sade and mother of 3 girls. I am 31 years old and I live in Amsterdam. My origins are South American/African, born in Tilburg and raised in Twente. I had a wonderful maternity week with all 3 of my daughters, which motivated me to also work in maternity care and to support and help expectant parents so that they can also look back on it fondly. A good start with your little one is important! I would like to support breastfeeding and I believe healthy food is essential. I enjoy being in the kitchen making delicious, nutritious dishes. During the maternity week it is also nice to be able to eat well without mother or father having to worry about it. I like to maintain peace in the family and support the entire family during the maternity week. If you would like to know more, I would love to see you in a zoom meeting!
Patricia
Hi, My name is Patricia! I am 29 years old and proud mother of a daughter. After gaining experience in various sectors, I was ready for a challenge that really suits me. My passion for children started at a young age, partly because my mother has been a childminder for years and there were always children at home. Maternity care is a wonderful and rewarding profession. I love supporting, guiding and helping new parents. I tailor my care to your needs and ensure that you can enjoy this special time to the fullest. With my passion for cooking, I like to prepare the most delicious dishes for you. If there are already older children in the family, I think it is important that they also feel involved during the maternity week. I like to take a walk with them or visit the playground. In addition, I make sure that everything in the house runs smoothly, so that you do not have to worry about anything. Do you have any questions? I will be happy to answer them during the introductory meeting. See you then!

I am Samira, a single mother of 5 children, the oldest son of 24 and the youngest of 5 years old. In addition to the loving care for my family, I want to pursue my dream of being there for other families and to transfer some of my knowledge as a maternity nurse... through my experience as a mother, I would like to lend a hand in my care to mothers and expectant babies by helping with the household and practicing my cooking skills. I stand strong in my shoes and know how to tackle what is necessary when it comes to caring for mother and family by sharing my experience here, to guide the family and to think along in this beautiful maternity period so that we can make it an educational and loving maternity period.
