Nina Care, described by AD.nl as the largest au pair agency in the Netherlands, has been declared bankrupt. The ruling was reported on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, by AD.nl and confirmed in coverage from NU, NOS, RTL.nl and quotenet.nl.
According to quotenet.nl, the bankruptcy followed a conflict with a former employee over an outstanding amount. The agency had also drawn criticism before the ruling; RTL.nl reports that it went bankrupt despite earlier promises of improvement, and NOS and NU both refer to the business as controversial.
The reports did not specify how many au pairs or host families are affected, what will happen to placements already in progress, or how the outstanding payment dispute will be handled in the bankruptcy.
What to watch next: whether a trustee is appointed and publishes details on the agency's financial position and the status of current au pair placements.
