Dear families,

The role of grandparents in the family is not to be underestimated: they support, cover absences, help, educate and are always at your side with help and advice. They are often much loved by the children, and the parents rely on them. But job requirements or just life itself often ensure that the grandparents live too far away – sometimes even in another country – or cannot be there (anymore) due to other reasons, so many families would be glad of some support by an experienced pair of hands. This applies even more for expats abroad, who often do not have a circle of friends to step in at short notice. 

For families abroad a Granny Aupair also brings along a "bit of home", for example, the language, traditions, recipes and much more. Due to their life experience, our temporary grannies are experts in childcare. You know your children in good hands with an au pair Granny! 

Today we want to introduce you to three Grannies, who would like to help you as a temporary grandmother in the near future. At the moment more than 70 Grannies, among others from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Finland are looking for a meaningful task in a nice family – not only for this but for next year as well! We would also like to draw your attention to our additional service for families.

Best wishes from 

 

Michaela Hansen und your Granny Aupair-Team

P.S.: Granny Aupair is now also available on Instagram at @Granny_Aupair and if you like, please  follow us and feel free to use our hashtag #grannyaupair

Tips: 

• Please keep your profile up-to-date at all times, like checking if your preferred „Granny arrival date“ is still valid and not in the past. You can change this under “My Profile". The same applies if you have found a Granny and are maybe looking for a “follow up” Granny. You can also de- and reactivate your profile anytime during your membership.

• Send many contact requests! If you like the look of certain Grannies but their dates for instance length of stay and date of possible arrival do not match your expectations then send a contact request anyway, as often something has changed with the Grannies or they are looking for several families “back to back”. Many things are negotiable and asking questions is free! 

• If you receive contact requests and you already have a Granny or are not quite convinced then just write back a few words even if it is a refusal. Thus the Granny is not waiting for an answer all the time and is not irritated. 

• And very important: If you have found a Granny Aupair please let us know per mail or by phone, who is coming to you and from when. This helps us keep our website up-to-date for you.
