Dear Au Pair,

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We put lots of effort in the details, trying to give you as many insights about us, our life and what we are looking for.

We are a happy and fun family of 6 with 4 boys, 11, 9 and identical twin boys, who are 6 years old!

We have been hosting au pairs for years since the twins were born and really enjoy having you girls stay with us. Sports, music, friends, a camper on the beach and our dog Zuri. We are quite busy, there is always something going on in our house!

So if you think, a family with 4 boys is challenging, I

First, we are very organized, which gives us and all of our kids the necessary structure for the day. This way everybody is quite relaxed and there is no major "chaos".

Second, you are not alone - Ann-Kristin is an entrepreneur with flexible working hours and we have support from Renée, Flos Mom, who is truely an angel for our family, always helping and supporting as well.

Third, we are a whole lot of fun, we do see the au pair as an addition to the family, try to make everything work and everyone who lived with us, really blended in well, had a great personal growth experience and a very good time.

And fourth, Hamburg is one of the nicest cities in Germany with a huge international community, lots of cool places, things to do and all of our international girls made great friends!

Hamburg is in the North of Germany, we live about 30 minutes from downtown in a very green and nice neighbourhood. We have a nice and comfortably big home and we love our house a lot.

Both of us, my husband and I, are very open and fun to be around with. We both work a lot, but try to manage around the kids to make them feel important and seen. We enjoy our big family, which consumes most of our free time ;) but whenever time allows it, travelling, sports, good food, wine in any colour and meeting with friends is what we like to do - we can say, we enjoy life and live it to the fullest as much as we can.

Ann-Kristin has spent several years in the US, starting out as a highschool exchange student and still has a very close connection to her former host family, so she knows how it feels to be somewhere else, having a cultural shock, but remembers these times as one of the best in teenage and college years and a journey like this is not only an aupair experience, it is a journey to yourself (really!) finding out where you want to go in life!

So why don't you get in touch and maybe stay with us?! We are very excited to hear from you and to get to know you!
