“Through Granny Aupair I have the unique opportunity to live in Canada for a year. Every day I can spend in this wonderful country fills me with great thanks and pleasure. It is such a great pleasure to see little Mattis, who is now 20 months old, grow up. He is learning something new every day. We have a lot of fun together and the parents can go to work totally reassured, until we meet again in the evening and eat together. I wasn’t able to experience the phase of life between the first and second year so intensively with my own children and grandchildren as I was very tied up with work and family. Now I have the time and patience to see Mattis grow up. That makes me very happy and contented. With this in mind the financial part I paid to Granny Aupair is so little and not worth mentioning. Additionally the host family’s benefit is very large, as their children are looked after optimally and the Grannies’ life experience is worth its weight in gold.”
