Granny Aupair Experiences

"Their courage keeps on impressing us!"

Family A. writes from Abu Dhabi

We really appreciate our lovely Grannies and their help to improve our kids’ German language. We stay in touch with almost all of them. The Granny experience is not only a cultural encounter but a unique human encounter that is warm and full courageous exploration.

"An enormous enrichment"

The K. family reports on their experiences

My family has already had three wonderful Granny Au Pair experiences and are thrilled about the experienced help to raise children together.
We can only recommend it to all parents, an enormous enrichment.

"I don't want to miss a second of it "

Granny M. Elisabeth on the question if she has the Wanderlust Gene

Hello Granny Au Pair,
but for sure I have this gene!!!; but again, after 4x granny and at 80 it doesn't do me quite so much good anymore!
But to all the other young women over 60 or 70, I wish you as much joy as I had in India, Bolivia, South Africa and Peru.

"The contact to the family came from you, of course"

Granny Anni writes from Tyrol

Hello Mrs Hansen and team,
I would like to get in touch with you again.
As this is the 4th time I have stayed with the K. family in Innichen - South Tyrol, I don't think I need many words to explain why I have been there so often.

"It was lovely!"

Alessandra and Helena send greetings from Italy

Dear Granny Au-pair Team,

after almost 3 months of living together very well, we are happy to share our positive experiences with you in the following pictures.

"It was a powerful experience"

Granny Andrea Maria reports from Cairo

Dear Ms Hansen, dear staff,

a few days ago I said goodbye to my host family in Cairo and arrived back in "Good old Germany".

"During the first conversation I already realised that this is my family"

Granny Sigrid tells about her stay in Atlanta

Sehr geehrtes Granny-Aupair Team,

Seit vergangenem Donnerstag bin ich von einem Granny-Einsatz wieder zuhause.

Mitte/Ende Juli diesen Jahres flatterte wieder mal ein Newsletter von Granny-Au-pair in meinen Posteingang mit der Überschrift: Familie in Atlanta wartet auf Sie! Es war wie ein Ruf, dem ich mich nicht entziehen konnte.

Dear Granny-Aupair Team,

Since last Thursday I am back home from a Granny placement.

In the middle/end of July this year, another newsletter from Granny-Au-pair fluttered into my inbox with the headline: Family in Atlanta is waiting for you! It was like a call I couldn't resist. I went to the Granny-Aupair site and registered without further ado and created my profile.

A day or two later I wrote to the family in Atlanta and got a lovely reply straight away. We arranged a phone call and a video call about 3 days later and already during the conversation it was clear to me that this is my family. The family also didn't hesitate for long to tell me that they had chosen me.

A few more phone calls and emails followed to discuss a couple of formalities, such as

- who pays for the flight

- who pays the insurance

- do I have liability insurance

- Covid vaccinations

- references

and a few more questions that wanted to be clarified.

I booked the flight and was even allowed to book a very good one! I booked my flight and was even allowed to book a very good! class, organised my ESTA visa and took out health insurance for 3 months in the USA. Five weeks later I landed in Atlanta with a lovely young family with a 1 -year-old child and I felt at home from the first moment.

The baby accepted me the very next day and on the 2nd day it was as if I had always been there. I am someone who doesn't hesitate, but just does, doesn't think long about something, but reacts.

The family lives in the African-American neighbourhood, in the south of Atlanta, and I was the only white person in a large radius, the only white person in the shopping centre, on the bus and very often on the train that took me downtown.

Yes, being part of a minority for once really sharpens one's tolerance! In all that time, I always felt safe outside and only met nice, polite people.

The time passed far too quickly and I had to get back on the plane to Germany all too soon with a very tearful farewell on all sides.

I am already looking forward to Christmas when "my family" comes to Germany to visit me.

Will I go back to another family as a Granny?

YES!!! I have some enquiries and am leaning towards Switzerland.... Let's see...

Thank you dear Granny team for this opportunity!

Yours

Sigrid

"I have a lot of fun with my borrowed grandkids"

Granny Eva writes from Tyrol

Hello everybody,
Before my stay in Tyrol comes to an end, I would like to report briefly that I am having a good time here, experiencing a lot and having a lot of fun with my borrowed dogs. I'll be going home again on the weekend and I'm a bit sad because I've grown very fond of the boys.

"The friendliness of the people is amazing"

Granny Marion sends an update from Kigali

Muraho (Hello) to Hamburg,

I have now been in Kigali and the surrounding area for 8 weeks and have to say: A dream!!!!!!

Everything worked out. The family was very pleasant and helpful. Despite the challenging tasks, they supported me very sensitively and gave me time to settle in.
