Many Dutch people just ask neighbours 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 neighbours if they know a nice babysitter. Babysitters normally get paid between €4 - €7 an hour, depending on the age, the number of children and the time your babysitter needs to be present. Information boards in supermarkets often offer private babysitting.
