Motivation

“I work for DelftMama because I know how difficult it can be to live in a foreign country where one does not speak the language, and is not familiar with the culture. In the Netherlands there is a good infrastructure in place around pregnancy and birthing. I think it is important to help mothers by giving them advice about their options. In this way we can give a positive contribution to a good start for a mother and her small child.”
