Dear family,

The school year has hardly started, then its break-time again: Half-term-holidays, Christmas break, Easter holidays, Inset-Days and not to forget six weeks to sometimes even three months of summer holidays hold massive challenges for parents, who do not work as teachers (and even for them). Even if both parents pack their entire annual leave into the school holidays, there is still a lot of time left over where the children have to be cared for otherwise – and this is still not including the family holidays!

Dear family,

A grandmother is a wonderful asset for family life. She cooks lunch for the children, while their parents are at work. She reads them interesting stories. And she comforts them when they have small ailments or even their first broken heart. Grandmothers are the heart and soul in many families - difficult to imagine how daily life can function without them. And this is also true for our Granny Aupairs!

True to the motto „Wanderlust knows no age“ Granny Aupair also offers younger, life experienced women the opportunity to participate in our program. You do not have to be actually over 50 or a grandmother.

Dear family, dear Granny,
Granny Aupair is celebrating its birthday – celebrate with us! Open-minded, visionary, adventurous, constructive and restless – according to numerology these are the characteristics of the number 5. We think they are a perfect fit for our birthday child: Nearly exactly five years ago Michaela Hansen implemented her visionary idea to send women over fifty abroad as au pairs. She is a pioneer in this field, as at that time no agency of this kind existed. Her appeal: „Get off the couch and off into the world!“ has now been followed by over 1,000 women.
