Newsletter Families - It takes a whole village...

Dear Families,

After a long, stressful day, do you sometimes think how much easier it would be if several loving people would take care of your child or children? An African proverb says: "It takes a village to raise a child." It doesn't have to be a whole village, but a few helping hands would be nice. Even today in Africa, the majority of children grow up in large multi-generation households, their upbringing is shared. Thus children learn to take on a role and responsibility early.  

Granny Aupair is also based on this principle of reciprocity - as the term "au pair" already says: Families thus receive the support they so urgently need, and the temporary grannies receive a task in which they are already experienced and which gives them pleasure. Many grannies state that they feel rejuvenated and energetic through this task. Both sides broaden their horizons when strangers become friends. 

At the moment around 90 Grannies, amongst others from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Panama and Brazil are looking for a meaningful task in a nice family! We want to introduce you to two of them below. We also want to call your attention to our additional service for busy families. 

Best wishes from Michaela Hansen and your Granny Aupair-Team

 

Cheerful and open-minded – Granny Ursula

Granny Ursula (User name: Ursula_munich) would like to help a family in English-speaking countries for two to three months from September onwards, or would also like to support an elderly lady as a companion. The 63 year old former secretary is very fit (trekking, skiing, cross-country skiing, yoga) and also loves reading and creative writing. The travel-loving mother of two adult sons is looking forward to expanding her knowledge of languages as well as getting to know the country and its people. In her profile she writes: I would like to teach the kids some German, tell them something about Germany and our traditions and read stories and fairy tales to them.“

ClIck here to find your Granny

 

 

Tips:  

  • Send many contact requests! If you like the look of Grannies but their details such as length of stay and date of arrival do not tally with your preferences, then contact the anyway, because often something has changed with the Grannies’ plans or they are looking for two families "one after the other". A lot of things are negotiable and asking questions is free!
  • If you receive contact requests and already have a Granny or the Granny does not seem to be the right fit, then still write a few words back, even it is a refusal. Thus the Granny will not wait in vain for an answer and is not confused.
