Dear Reader, dear Grannies,

Anyone who thinks that 60 plus is all about knitting and watching television is completely wrong. There is so much more to every Granny! Life experience, heart, humour - and above all:  full of enthusiasm.

Typical boomers have all kinds of qualities - from life experience to patience and social skills. Our Grannies are real superwomen who have both feet firmly on the ground and are far from being relegated to the retirement home.

Whether as a loving child carer, empathetic companion for older people, creative language teacher or simply as a cosmopolitan new family member - as a Granny Aupair you will bring people together, help where help is needed and enrich families worldwide

A few of our families who would like to welcome a loving temporary grandma or companion as welcome support sooner or later are presented below. You can find many more on our online community

Best wishes from

Your Michaela Hansen and Your Granny Aupair-Team

 

At the foot of the Rocky Mountains 

In the east of the USA, in the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado, you can find the town of Boulder in a picturesque valley near the iconic Flatirons foothills. Surrounded by beautiful nature and  miles of hiking and cycling trails and close to numerous ski and mountain sports centres, the town also offers numerous restaurants, cafés, galleries and shopping opportunities.

As from beginning of August, a family of four (user name CJSGo) with son, 4, and daughter, 2, plus dog, who are now relocating to Boulder, are looking for a loving, flexible temporary grandma to provide some support for the parents during the time of moving in. Little George will be going to school until 2:30 p.m. as from end of August and little Hazel to kindergarten from October.

A nice room in a spacious house in the city centre on the outskirts of the city awaits the Granny. The travelling expenses will be taken over in part.

It is important that the relationship is based on mutual trust and not on an employment contract. The host family and temporary grandma discuss the tasks involved together, ideally in advance.

When getting to know each other for the first time on the portal, you should therefore clearly outline your own ideas and ask specifically if anything is unclear, e.g. working hours, exact tasks, daily routine.
