Dear family,

If both parents are working and there are no grandparents or other relatives to take care of the children and a place in a nursery or pre school is currently unavailable, a Granny Aupair can be a welcome alternative. With her life experience and composure, a granny takes the pressure off everyday family life and brings a little more ease into the lives of young families.

Dear Ladies,
the older you are, the less willing to change? This is certainly not the case for most of the 50 to 75 generation.

Newsletter Families - It takes a whole Village...

Dear Families,

an African proverb says: "It takes a whole village to raise a child." Unfortunately, this principle has been largely lost in our Western world, as author Michaeleen Douclef notes.

Children thus learn to take over a role and responsibility at an early age.
