Ron Lamoreaux has found a Netherlands probate file for Jacomijntje and Arent Reddinger. See the search results list that he posted in the research notes. From that file, it appears that she died in the Netherlands in 1696 (or maybe 1690). This would make her a Dutch person for her whole life, not a New Netherlander.

This profile claims, however, that she married Arie De Langet and had children Willemtje (who married Teunis Kool) and Marritje (who married Jacob Keyser) in New Netherland. Profiles for those children are, however, connected to a different mother. Also, the profiles shows that she married Arie De Langet in 1668, when she was old enough to marry, but he was not. Is there any evidence that supports this marriage or those children (or at least shows how confusion might have arisen? Perhaps another girl of same name?)??

I have found an answer to my own question.

This information seems to have come from Pat Wardell, who cited Chris Brooks in New Netherland Connections in 2006. Brooks observed that the two oldest children of Arie Fransen possibly were not the children of Rachel Pier, and he looked for evidence of another mother who might have died after the birth of the second child. He noted that Roelof Swartwout had witnessed teh baptism of a later child, and speculated that Roelof might have been related to the hypothetical first wife. According to the article by Brooks, Tomys Swartwout and Henderkje Barents emigrated to New Netherland in 1652 and lived at Kingston, but later returned to the Netherlands. Jacomeyna Swartwouts was witness to a baptism in the Kingston church in 1671 for a child of her brother Roelof Swartwout. Brooks speculated that Jacomyntje might have been the first wife, and that she died in New Netherland after the birth of the second child, Marritje. This speculation is contradicted by the evidence that Jacomyntje married Arent Reddinger in the Netherlands in 1672. So we can confidently disconnect Jacomijnte from her supposed first husband.

The Chris Brooks article is at New Netherland Connections. Berkeley, CA: Dorothy A. Koenig, 1996-2010. (Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2008.) https://www.americanancestors.org/DB203/i/7482/1/0 . See page 8.

TEXT REMOVED FROM BIOGRAPHY: She married Arie De Langet (?). Their children were Willemtje (who married Teunis Kool) and Marritje (who married Jacob Keyser). Jacomyntje died about 1678 at 32 years of age.
