Not just anyone gets to work for Maurice & Nora. And that is exactly the point.

You do not let just anyone into your parents' home, your children's home or your own. That is why we thoroughly screen every student before they can take on a single assignment, and why we keep following up on quality after every visit.

4,500+ screened students
4,000+ telephone application interviews
Insurance always included

An application that takes effort

Every student starts with a detailed application: motivation, experience, CV. We dig into what they have already done (babysitting, cooking, garden work, companionship, …) and where and when they can work.

This is deliberately not a two-minute form. Anyone who is not all in already drops out here.

A student who ticks "experience with children" also tells us concretely where that experience comes from: years of babysitting nearby, working as a playground animator, or growing up with a younger sibling.

A thorough screening conversation - equally deep for everyone

Every candidate then has a personal screening conversation of 20 to 30 minutes. Not a standard questionnaire: the interview is prepared from their own application, with targeted questions about experience, responsibility and real situations.

To be clear: this conversation is run by our smart voice assistant. That means it is available 24/7 (a student can also call in the evening after class) and every candidate gets exactly the same thorough interview, without rush. Our team then reviews every conversation. More than 4,000 candidates have already gone through it.

"Imagine: you are at an elderly woman's home and she suddenly says she does not feel well. You are alone with her. What do you do?" We are not looking for a perfect textbook answer: we want to hear that someone stays calm, takes responsibility and knows when calling for help matters more than solving it alone.

Every student who visits you has first gone through our selection and our team.

A human decides

After the conversation, our team reviews every candidate personally. We select on what really matters in this work. Only ~ 43% of starters are ultimately accepted.

MotivationWanting to mean something for others. Anyone who only wants a quick side income does not get in.
Sense of responsibilityBeing reliable, keeping appointments, knowing what to do when things go unexpectedly.
WarmthRespect and patience for seniors and children.

Insured and prepared to start

Accepted students are fully set up before their first assignment.

InsuranceFor student and client - always included in the rate, no extra cost.
Correct contract and payLegally in order, handled automatically.
Briefing per assignmentThe student knows in advance what is expected: who you are, what needs doing, what to watch for.
Extra guidanceNew students never start completely in the deep end.

And for you as a client: you always know in advance who is coming. For recurring help you get a fixed student (including an optional introduction): the same trusted face, every week.

Quality does not stop after screening

A good first impression is not enough. That is why we follow up on every visit.

Review after every visitFrom you and from the student.
Active follow-up callsEspecially after a first visit: did it click? Did everything go as expected?
Rematch if it does not clickThen we find another student right away. You do not have to start over.
Keep the bar highAnyone who does not meet our standard leaves the community.
