A dream come true

Rachel Pietersma turned her passion into her own business 10 years ago and is the proud owner of Kids Party Planner, a high-end agency that delivers unforgettable children's parties on an international level. She turns every children's party into a dream, for both children and parents. Nothing is too crazy for Rachel and everything is pulled out of the closet. From sweet sixteen parties to 80 different party themes and custom children's parties. Kids Party Planner also caters weddings, family parties and corporate events where children are on the guest list.

A few years later, she set up her second business: High End Nanny Service. Rachel: "In a nutshell, I provide nannies in the hospitality, event and corporate world from High End Nanny Service. From private nannies to mobile kids clubs for high-end hotels, fairs & events and corporate parties. Parents are completely unburdened and kids are optimally entertained."

Always (re)member

Rachel joined MASTERS Member in 2019. "The different beautiful locations and activities on a high end level really appeals to me. From golfing and dinners to cruising the beautiful canals of Amsterdam with the most delicious snacks and drinks. Naturally, I got to know many people from different industries. The MASTERS Members are mostly entrepreneurs and directors who have years of experience. After 10 years in business, this is fitting for the steps and growth you go through at this level," said Rachel.

Rachel's networking tip

"Networking is very important as an independent entrepreneur. The people I work with are people I've met mainly from networking events. Of course, networking is more than going to events. It also means putting on your courage and walking in somewhere 'cold'. Networking gives me a lot of positive energy. You are infected by what you deal with and if they are successful people, then you can benefit from that too. My networking tip would be to enjoy all the entrepreneurs around you and their great stories. Be yourself because that makes you a beautiful and unique entrepreneur."
