Amsterdam · permanent support for expat families
The permanent support system for busy expat families in Amsterdam.
You've set up the house. What you don't have is a local support system — just a high-pressure job, a school gate full of strangers, and family logistics causing constant friction. We manage the ongoing admin, local systems, and household logistics, so you can finally enjoy your weekends.
Ongoing, hands-on support for your household. Start with a free 30-minute chat — no obligation.
You've mastered your career. Running an international household inside a foreign system — the daily admin, the medical logistics, the school calendar — is a different job entirely, and it's quietly draining your best hours.
What's included
Four ways we lighten the load
Every family's mix is different — these are the areas we most often step into, and there's always more depending on what you need.
Kid-friendly holidays, fully researched
Tailored family holiday planning — flights, accommodation, and the local logistics that actually matter, from equipment hire to a trusted nanny on the ground.
The daily rhythm, quietly optimised
Smart meal planning, seasonal wardrobe audits for the kids, and daily routines reworked so they actually fit your family.
Nothing slips through the cracks
Subscription audits, passport and ID renewal alerts before they become emergencies, and a family budget that's realistic instead of aspirational.
Time for each other, actually protected
Date nights and self-care activities planned end to end — booked, arranged, and handled, so they happen instead of staying on the to-do list.
…and plenty more, depending on what your family needs.
Because you matter too
Your wellbeing, not just everyone else's
Mums are so often the ones holding it all together — the schedules, the small emergencies, everyone else's wellbeing. It's easy to put your own needs last, or not even know where to start.
This is a service just for you: finding pockets of time that are actually yours, and activities tailored to what genuinely recharges you — not a generic self-care checklist, but something built around your life and what you actually enjoy.
Because a family runs on you. You deserve looking after too.
Tell me what would recharge you →How it works
No sales pitch. A conversation.
We start every relationship with a real conversation, so what we take on actually fits your family — not a generic package.
Say hello
A short message about what's currently weighing on you — no forms, just a conversation starter.
A free 30-minute chat
We talk through your family's specific pressure points together, and map out what ongoing support would actually cover.
We take it from there
Once we're working together, the admin, appointments, and logistics run quietly in the background — every month, without you having to ask.
About me
Hi, I'm Claire
I'm a mum of two, married to another expat, and most days I'm the only line of defence between our family and total chaos.
We moved to Amsterdam over a decade ago. No parents nearby for a last-minute Tuesday rescue, no old friend who already knows a good dentist, nobody to just turn up with soup when the whole house is sick at once. You figure it all out yourself, slowly, one appointment at a time.
The Family Concierge is what I wish someone had handed me on day one. I bring the same care to your household that I bring to my own — the school forms, the doctor's appointments, the birthday party nobody had time to plan — so you get a little of that support system back, even without family down the road.
