Dear Reader, dear Ladies,

„Je ne regrette rien“ – I have no regrets – a statement that has been sung in many languages and said in interviews by actresses like Katharine Hepburn or fashion designer Coco Chanel. Many wish they could say the same about their lives. If you ask people at the end of their lives what they regret, they tend to list things they didn't do. For example, many regret not having done what they dreamed of doing when they were young. But even at an advanced age, dreams can still come true.

For example, those who were not able to be an au pair in their younger years or who were not able to travel as much as they would have liked, have the opportunity to experience this adventure again through Granny Aupair. Maybe starting right in the new year!

Due to their life experience, our Grannies have already proven themselves in many situations and are not afraid to take on new challenges. Below we present four families who would like to experience the Granny Aupair adventure with you. You can find many more families from near and far on our online community.

The best pre-Christmassy wishes from  

from Michaela Hansen and your Granny Aupair-Team

 

Island in the Pacific North-West

The Space Needle, Pike Place Market and a breathtaking coastal landscape are just some of the advantages that Seattle on Puget Sound in the US state of Washington has to offer. The lively metropolis on the north-west Pacific coast of the USA offers plenty of opportunities to explore the city and its surroundings. Directly opposite the city you can find the beautiful island of Bainbridge Island with the small town of the same name.

Here, a small family (user name Julias) with a 6-year-old son is looking for a loving, conscientious, positive and nature-loving temporary grandma with a driving licence to help look after the little boy after kindergarten and also during the holidays.

The little boy goes to kindergarten until 15:30, so the Granny would have enough time to discover the wonderful surroundings and/or attend a language course. A nice big room in a house in a rural surroundings awaits the Granny. The travelling expenses will be covered in part.

In the heart of Europe

The small kingdom of Belgium on the North Sea coast delights visitors from all over the world with delicious waffles and chocolate as well as medieval churches and inspires with its mix of dynamic, cultural diversity. The capital Brussels offers many sights - including the Grande Place, Atomium, Manneken Pis and many beautiful streets to stroll through.

In the municipality of La Hulpe, south-east of Brussels, on the Silver River in Walloon Brabant, an English-Swiss family of five (user name Sebastien) with two boys (7 and 3) and a girl (5) is looking for an experienced, empathic temporary granny, ideally English-speaking,  to give the parents a helping hand. The two older ones go to school until the afternoon and help is mostly needed for the youngest.

A nice large room in a spacious house in a rural setting will be made available to the Granny. All travelling expenses will be covered.

Beautiful heath region in Northern Germany  

The Lüneburger Heath in Northern Germany has many wonderful places to discover. The mystical landscape of  the nature reserve is home to a mass of heather and juniper. Horse-drawn carriages trundle along the sandy paths, the grey-horned heath sheep graze on the heath and the fragrant smell of warm blossom lies over the entire region in summer. Between the city of Hamburg, the river Elbe and the historic town of Lüneburg you can find the village of Barum.

Here a single father of two girls (15 and 10) with the user name Maik would like to welcome an experienced and flexible Granny with a driving license, ideally Englishspeaking and who also does not mind cooking from time to time. The girls go to school until the afternoon, so the Granny would have enough time to explore the picturesque surroundings. The father is also on short business trips from time to time, so a bit more support would be needed then.

A nice room in a large house in a rural setting is available for the Granny. The travel costs will be taken over in part.

Think carefully about what would suit you as a Granny Aupair: 

Are you good at keeping yourself busy on your own (important if the family lives further out or in the countryside) or do you prefer a lively environment? Do you prefer city or country life or do you simply want to try something completely new? These circumstances should also be taken into account before making a final decision.
