Newsletter Grannies - Who dares wins - with good preparation

Dear Reader, dear Grannies,

Becoming a Granny Aupair also requires a little flexibility and a sense of adventure to make the project a success - after all, strangers are meeting for the first time. The host family is taking an unknown person into their home - in other words, into their very private environment.

Newsletter Grannies - Grandma is great….

Dear Reader, dear Grannies,

„Grandma is great, but she's so far away" – this is a common phrase heard among many families these days. In the past, people simply had more contact with the older generation. Families often lived close to each other, and older children did not move to another city immediately after school. Regular visits to the grandparents were simply part of family life then.

Newsletter Grannies - What to expect as a Granny Aupair

Dear Reader, dear Grannies,

Today we would like to give you a few tips to ensure that your expectations of being a Granny Aupair are fully met.
The family profiles already provide a lot of information. If you don't want so much hustle and bustle, then a family with three small children and possibly pets is probably not for you. It's better to look for families with one (older) child.
