We are a small-scale maternity care organization from Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. Founded by Marjolein Vermeij-Stevelmans.
Our message is clear: Maternity care with a smile!
Marjolein started as a maternity nurse in the Apeldoorn region in 2009. She has lived in Ouderkerk a/d Amstel since 2014 and started working for two larger organizations. Her love for the profession showed that there were a number of things she wanted to do differently. Quality of care is paramount.
Why have a telephone intake interview if it is so nice to talk to each other beforehand? That is why we only do home intakes, even if the health insurance may not reimburse this. Then that is immediately our first gift :)
We take the time for every intake and care! If it all takes a bit longer, there will be a need for it. Of course we have learned to watch the clock, but we try to do as little as possible during our visits
We even do the entire intake and maternity week in English if one of the future parents does not speak Dutch. If necessary, your maternity week and intake will even be in German.
We really offer tailor-made care. After the intake, we can even make an appointment to go shopping together to complete the baby supplies!
If you want to give birth at home, we are available for you 24 hours a day. We also provide maternity care during home births. We assist the midwife with this.
Who is Marjolein?
Marjolein Vermeij-Stevelmans is 37 years old and has lived in Ouderkerk a/d Amstel since 2014. Marjolein is a mother of four children herself. She completed the "Nursing IG" training. During this training she of course learned everything about maternity care, pregnant women and newborn babies. This makes her an official maternity nurse!
Marjolein is registered with the Knowledge Center for Maternity Care and this organization ensures that all additional training courses are completed on time and in full. Marjolein also followed the specialization Incubator Aftercare out of her own interest. So we can also provide maternity care for the smallest premature babies. This can also be maternity care after your child comes out of the hospital after a long stay there. After having had 3 premature babies herself, she knows exactly what it is like to care for these premature babies.
Breastfeeding is the most important source of nutrition for a newborn baby. You can contact Marjolein for questions and help during the breastfeeding period. If you have experienced it as difficult before or if it did not quite work out, we can draw up a plan together so that it might work out this time.
No, her partner does the administrative side. So it could be that you suddenly receive an email from my partner. She takes care of the declarations and forwards important information. If you have any questions about the insurance, you can simply send an email to info@kraamzorgaandeamstel.nl. Don't be surprised if you receive a response from my partner.
Because we would like the babies we give a good start to have a planet to live on later, we have chosen to invest exclusively in sustainable means of transport. All new cars and other means of transport are electric.
If you are looking for someone who is open to sustainable solutions during the maternity period, you have come to the right place. Challenge us with your ideas about sustainability during pregnancy and the maternity period. We are happy to learn!
PS: we do love nice cars!
Brothers and Sisters?
Especially with brothers and sisters we also do a lot together, how nice is it to help out with your favorite cuddly toy. Maybe your cuddly toy wants to be weighed? Or can it also wear a diaper or clothes! This way you can practice well to help care for the little baby!
Do you also love cookies and cupcakes? Maybe we can make mommy and daddy or mommy and mommy or maybe even daddy and daddy smile. Will you also help to decorate them nicely for all the visitors?
Making your first drawing for your little brother or sister? Let's color together and write something nice. Maybe you'll see his or her first Smile!
