Do you want to contribute to a child's first 1000 days?

As a volunteer (mom) you will support expectant mothers and fathers with a balanced pregnancy and upbringing, so that the future child can grow up healthy and in a stable environment.

The first thousand days of the child begin with pregnancy. As Mamamaat you are linked to the family. You will then discuss various topics with the (future) parent(s), including health, attachment and nutrition.

What we can offer you:

• Valuable personal contact
• You work together in a fun and diverse team
• You will receive a personal introduction / follow-up program, guidance and an organization you can fall back on
• Intervision
• You get access to a range of training and workshops for volunteers

What we (preferably) ask of you:

• Ability to work in a culturally sensitive manner. You are creative in entering into and maintaining a conversation, in making contact. This is because we support parents with diverse cultural backgrounds (including from Somalia, Eritrea, Morocco, Syria, the Netherlands, etc..) and many mothers do not or only moderately know the Dutch language.
• Pedagogical experience
• You can collaborate with other healthcare providers
• Preferably a commitment of 2.5 years on average 4 hours per week.
• You master the Dutch language
• You are empathetic, you take initiative, you are independent, patient and flexible, you work on the basis of equality and trust
