After her studies, Marjet held various positions in the field of communications and consultancy. When she became a mother, she noticed that there were many discussions about work and family life in the Netherlands. When she discovered there was no one who was committed to this in a broad sense, she started an organization herself that represents the interests of parents in the Netherlands. They now participate in discussions about childcare, leave, mental health of parents and children, poverty and education. One of Marjet’s personal goals is to get children to play outside more. Marjet, her husband and her twins live in the centre of the Netherlands.
