Pinar

I am Pinar, the founder of Kraamzorg De Helpende Hand. I am 27 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.

My name is Najoua, I am 26 years old and I am a mother of 2 children. I am of Moroccan descent. During my maternity period I saw how important the work as a maternity nurse is. I then realized that I also wanted to go in that direction, it is a special and important profession! During the maternity week I will support you where necessary, so that you can enjoy your little miracle. If there are other children present, I will of course also pay attention to them. I know how to keep the peace in the family and will ensure that healthy meals are ready every day. I would be happy to contribute to breastfeeding if you wish to breastfeed, of course.

Monienke

Monienke

My name is Monienke and I am 26 years old. I became a maternity nurse because it is a special and rewarding profession, helping and supporting a family during this wonderful period gives me great satisfaction. My goal is to be able to relieve the family of the less important things at that time, such as the household. Cooking and baking is something I love to do, so in addition to all the tools and support for the care of the new family member and mom, I will also be happy to provide you with a delicious meal. The qualities of caring and patience come in handy in my work as a maternity nurse. I am aware that I will participate in a special moment in your life as (expectant) parents and will therefore do my utmost to allow you as a family to enjoy the postpartum period as much as possible. Besides Dutch I also speak English. It would be nice to meet you! Love Monique

I have discovered what a beautiful and important profession this is and it gives me a good feeling to support other families during this special period. During the maternity week I will respect your wishes and assist you to ensure breastfeeding is successful. I also provide nutritious, hot meals and I like to involve the whole family during the maternity week. I know how to keep calm during this hectic week and am happy to be there for you. Who knows, see you soon!

Shanesia

Shanesia

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 like to adapt and offer as much peace and quiet as possible. With professional care and personal attention, I ensure that you can fully enjoy the first special days with your baby. 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!

Cherina

Cherina

My name is Cherina, 35 years old and born in Amsterdam. I am a mother of 2 children aged 10 and 12 and have been living in Zaandam for 11 years now. 15 years ago I started training as a maternity nurse. I took a few years off and then worked at a primary school as a teaching assistant. That is why I also have a lot of experience with children. Because maternity care gives me more satisfaction and appreciation and I enjoy taking care of people, I went back into maternity care. I know from my experiences that no birth is the same and that is why everyone experiences the maternity week differently. My goal is therefore to create peace and help you where needed. I will support you, give you useful tips and help ensure that your first days together are relaxed. I understand all too well that some of you find it exciting to have a stranger in your house, especially the first week after giving birth when you are still discovering each other. To remove this feeling from you, I would also like to get to know you, first see if it clicks so that there will be no worries about it later and we will make it a nice maternity week with beautiful memories. I look forward to that. I wish you a very happy pregnancy for now, enjoy it and hopefully see you soon Greetings, Cherina

Simone

Simone

Dear (future) parents, I am Simone and I am 24 years young. I am a social and cheerful person but know how to keep the peace when necessary. Being a maternity nurse gives me a good feeling, every week I support a different family with different needs and wishes. I like it when there is a good atmosphere and that everyone feels comfortable. During the maternity week, I think it is important that parents who want to breastfeed are guided as well as possible so that there is a good start with breastfeeding, I also think it is important to involve brothers and sisters in the maternity week, but also to spare the parents from the bustle of the family. During the maternity week I will ensure that you are provided with a good lunch and I will also take care of the household chores so that you can fully focus on the recovery and getting to know the baby. I think it would be nice to get to know you during an introductory meeting! Hope to see you soon.

What I like most about my profession is the feeling of satisfaction after completing a maternity week. My aim is to make breastfeeding a success and to ensure that you can enjoy the maternity week carefree. I will spoil you with delicious meals and take care of the household chores so that you can enjoy your miracle in peace. If there are several children, I like to play with them. I speak Dutch, English and Berber. If you want to know more about me, please indicate me as a preference so that we can have an introductory meeting and get to know each other better. Hope to see you soon!

Eleni

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.

Dear expectant parents, I am Sade and mother of 3 girls. I am 30 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!
