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 bringing an unknown person into their home - in other words, into their very private environment. For Granny Aupairs, too, many uncertainty factors come together in unfamiliar surroundings. Dreams and reality don't always match up. Anyone who leaves their comfort zone should definitely be open to new things and adaptable!

In any case, it is helpful to discuss mutual expectations thoroughly before making a firm commitment to a family. That way, you are somewhat forearmed against unwelcome surprises.

Below we are introducing you to four families from all over the world who are looking for the support of the life experience and expertise from a temporary grandma soon or a little later in the year. In addition to these, you can many other families from near and far on our online community

Best wishes from

Your Michaela Hansen and your Granny Aupair-Team

 

Australia’s Gold Coast

Located south of Brisbane, Australia's Gold Coast is famous for its long sandy beaches, excellent surfing spots and intricate network of inland canals and waterways. Inland, the mountains and valleys of Lamington National Park are home to rainforests and rare bird species.

In the small town of Coomera in the region, a international family of three (sometimes five), with the user name Jantje plus 2 dogs, are looking forward to a loving, active temporary ideally Spanish-speaking grandma. The two eldest children (son 18 and daughter 10) live with their biological mother and are only  at the home every two weeks or weekends, so care is mainly sought for the youngest son Javier, 2. The Granny will be provided with a nice room in a large house on the outskirts of the city. Travel expenses will be covered in part.

Beach Town near the Big Apple

Still within sight of New York City, but with a slightly more rural feel, the historic small town of Mamaroneck is located around 40 minutes north of the metropolis. The town is idyllically situated on the beach on Long Island Sound.

Here a French-German-American family of four (user name srieben) with two sons (4 and 2) and a cat are looking for a toddler experienced nature-loving Granny Aupair to join them from the end of May. The Granny should have a driver's license and a safe driving style, possibly also like to cook. Maxi and Lenny go to kindergarten during the week until 15:00 (the little one only two days), but in the summer months only "summer camp" is planned for a few days a week for the big one.

A nice large room with its own bathroom in a spacious house on the water awaits Granny. Travel costs will be covered part.

England’s famous Fen landscape 

A vast moorland landscape "The great Fen", historic cathedral cities with medieval markets and of course the city of Cambridge with one of the oldest and largest educational centers in the world characterize the county of Cambridgeshire in the east of England.

In the small town of Huntingdon, a Portuguese family of four (username JALmeida) with two children (girl 5 and boy 1) would soon like to welcome a loving, experienced temporary grandma as an additional family member. The father mainly works in Austria, so the mother would be very happy about additional support especially for the youngest in the afternoons. The daughter goes to school until late afternoon, the little boy is slowly being introduced to nursery.  The Granny will be provided with a nice room in a house in the city center.

Picturesque Mosel Valley in France 

The ancient town of Metz at the mouth of the river Mosel is spread out among various small islands on the Mosel, which are connected by a network of bridges. The town has a very rich historical, cultural and ecclesiastical heritage to be seen across the various districts of the city, each with its own identity.

Here help is needed by a family of four (user name Famille_Ours) with boy, nearly 6, and girl, nearly 4, who are searching for an experienced, communicative Granny Aupair. Leon and Lison go to pre-school until the afternoon (except Wednesdays which is usual in France), so the Granny would have enough time to explore the magnificent surroundings and/or visit a language course. A own little suite with living room, bedroom and private bath is waiting for the Granny. Travel costs will be taken over completely.

As many of our families are international and may not speak your mother tongue well or at all, it would be very helpful if you could enter the text in the free fields in your profile in English (or for example in German, French etc.).

The internet translators from Google or Deepl can help you with this.
