German grandma went abroad to be a nanny.

During short-term travel or study abroad, foreign young people can exchange free accommodation and the opportunity to learn a certain language for "live-in nannies". Now there are more and more grandma-level live-in nannies in Germany.

Good reputation

Michella Hansen, 50, runs an agency called Grandma's Live-in Nurse in the northern German city of Hamburg. Agence France-Presse quoted her as saying on June 5438+05: "Older women aged 50 to 70 are usually more popular than young people because they have more life experience."

Hansen said that German nannies have a high reputation all over the world, and they are called "Happy People" in Germany. Joy on Earth comes from a series of fairy tales written by P. L. Travers, a British woman writer. She is an amazing nanny. She is educated, independent and unique, dignified, unsmiling, strict with children, a little eccentric, but mysterious and fashionable, and her magical power makes her full of charm.

"Foreign families are willing to find such a serious and trustworthy woman to be a nanny. They know how to take care of their children and when to be strict with them, "Hansen said.

Waste heat emission

Ankfonte 6 1 year old. Before retiring, he worked in a shipbuilding company and had deep feelings for the harbor. After hearing that a German family living in southern Spain wanted a live-in nanny, she immediately agreed.

Her main task is to take care of two children for one year. After the contract expired, she returned to her home in Hamburg. Recalling that experience, she said, "I had a great time. I am mainly responsible for taking care of two boys, one is 13 years old and the other is 16 years old. I will send them to school in the morning and pick them up after school. "

Fent gets along well with that family. Now, although her contract has expired, she often flies to Spain to help look after the children when the adults there are on business trips.

Anbi Joerg elster lived in southern Bavaria and retired as a flight attendant at the age of 55. Elster's two daughters were brought up by her, but they had already left home and lived alone.

Elster likes to see the snow scene, but it seldom snows in winter in Bavaria, so she applied to a family in Hamburg to be a nanny and look after four children.

"At first, it was a little difficult to get used to the noise made by four children," she said with a smile. "However, what I like is the feeling of' I am still useful'."

There is a market

You need to pay 35 euros to register with Hansen's agency, and the agency charges 250 euros for each nanny introduced. The length and content of the service are jointly decided by the nanny and the employer's family.

In addition to exerting the waste heat, Fent also regards being a nanny as another form of broadening his horizons. "This is another form of tourism, a way to explore a country," she said. "Avoid the tiring routine tourist routes and get to know the local people." To this end, she also tried to teach herself Spanish.

Now the demand for grandma's nanny is higher than that of young nanny. In German newspapers, you can often see such job advertisements: "An Australian family has two children, one is 4 years old and the other is 2 years old. They want to find a German grandmother nanny and can stay for 3 months to 6 months."

Hansen said: "Compared with the cost of living abroad for three months, being a live-in nanny can get free accommodation and spend only a little money, which is worth a try."
