About đź‘‹

Hello there, I'm Elodie and I am Germany’s first baby paperwork expert for international families.

My mission is to help international families in Germany during pregnancy, birth and the early family years by offering assistance with questions around pregnancy, paperwork, and childcare with individual guidance and validated contacts for a happy and stress-free start as a family in Germany!

I'm originally from France and lived in the UK before moving to Berlin in 2007. When I got pregnant with my first child, I remember feeling lonely and lost in the maze of paperwork that needs to be done when a baby is born. I made all the rookie mistakes, losing significant amount of benefits, and I struggled to find childcare for my baby, resulting in almost losing my job.

Over the past 7 years, I have assisted thousands of families through the complex application process for Elterngeld, Kindergeld, Kitavoucher and helped them find midwives, notaries, and Kita spots.

What makes me unique is the experience I've gathered from all kind of different scenarios from helping thousands of customers all the way through to the completion of their application process. I just care about your paperwork as if it was my own.

I would be delighted to assist you with your paperwork, so you can focus on the most important: spending time as a family.
