Many Dutch people just ask neighbors or students to babysit their children when they go out for the evening. By the age of 14, children normally start looking for babysitting jobs in the area. Ask your neighbors for a recommendation. Babysitters normally get paid between €4-7 an hour, depending on the age, the number of children and the amount of time your babysitter needs to be present. Information boards in supermarkets often announce private babysitting services.
