Meetups in Munich for nannies and au pairs

Hey all,

I am new here and working as an aupair/nannie. I was wondering if there is anything happening around Munich in the weekdays for children so that i can take my child that i look after along as he does not get to socialise with other children. If no body knows of anything, is there any other nannies/aupairs with this problem and would like to arrange meeting up?

Marie

hey i don't have problems with my kids, but if you ever want to meet up without kids let me know.

Hey,

It don't have to be with the kids...I need friends too How sad does that sound? But its true!

hi i am also an au apair just outside of munich. I don't think u sound sad because i am also desperate to meet some english people just to relax and talk normally with. where are u from? and where are u in munich?

okay. there are a few other aupairs around. some of them have only been here a month or so. why don't we organize something for this week or next?

are people generally available mid-late morning (so 10ish or so) or afternoons or evenings?

i know, generally, but it varies daily, i'm free from 10-1 then again in the evening 7pmish.

Good plan! I'm available evenings except on thursdays. I'm free after 7 on tuesdays and fridays and after 8 on mondays and wednesdays. Does anyone want to meet up this friday to do something?

Hey,

This is Marie1985...i've changed my username...sorry to confuse you all!

But i'm free pretty much all of the time...So i'm definately up for meeting some of ya'll one day

Marie x

Me too!!! I'm free from about 10-1 too then after about 8. Although if we do something with the kids I can come out between 2-5 too

we could always try a cafe or coffee place tomo (wed) around 8pm...

Sounds good to me...What about everyone else?

By the way...I tend to get lost VERY easily so people directions would be great lol

Marie x

okay where would you like to meet? or which parts of town do you know (since you get lost )

can't come tomoro caus im moving in with my new family.

Hmm...difficult one...

I can get to pretty much any train station...lol Maybe someone could meet me somewhere? I know i'm being a right pain in the a**e but i know absolutely nothing at the moment as only been here 2 weeks!?! Sorry

Marie x

no worries. i'll defo meet you some place. hmm.. just trying to figure out where to go. i'll drag one of my friends along with us
so... do we feel like a beer or coffee (or not coffe, but rather coffee shop and choose what you want. i guess same for beer- doesn't have to be beer, but you get the picture. more of a coffee shop/cafe of the sorts or bar type place...)

Can you read a map? No, I'm not being sarcastic, with a good map you should be all right because in central Munich at least the general layout and street signs are clear and easy to follow.

Hmm...Lets just say that i got lost in Marienplatz looking for the station on Thurseday until 5.15 am!?!? I think that will answear your question on if i can read a map What can i say...I'm welsh!!! All i know is fields and fields...o and fields

I'm up for whatever really...so what you decide will be good!

Marie x

Come to think of it, shortly after our arrival in Munich my husband also got lost at Marienplatz - he took the first U-Bahn exit he saw but once above ground had no idea where he was. Good thing that the Frauenkirche was in its usual spot to help him get his bearings!

Lost until 5.15??? Might have found it easier if you were looking

So, I was right on Sun. evening - you're only used to fields and sheep not streets & people

I'm used to some form of streets...if you include the one i live on...

okay so about tonight. i'm absolutely clueless when i'll be free

(may i add that today is a crap day? grr!)

HEY...

IF ITS DIFFICULT FOR TONIGHT DONT WORRY AS MY HOST MUM HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO HOSPITAL SO I DONT KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH WHEN ILL BE FREE MYSELF.

HOW ABOUT ARRANGING IT FOR ANOTHER NIGHT? UPTO YA'LL...

MARIE X

Hey so whats the plans now? I will also need a simple place to get to, am from up north so cities are a bit complex for me too!

okay. how about we'll try for some evening next week, okay? i'm not sure when... or where, but we'll try.

any favorites people want to hit? or new places to try?

i have a few in mind, just not sure if you want a more coffeehouse quiet sit and talk or louder and go and drink type place.

Hey there,

Well...im free pretty much any evening next week. Err...i have no ideas on where to go as ive only been here 2 and half weeks so anywhere will be fine. I don't mind either where we go so you guys can decided on what sort of surrounding you want I'm not fussy at all

Marie x

Okey Dokey,

So i'm still up for meeting up one evening this week if anybody else is? I'm free from 6pm every evening and all days on Saturdays and Sundays.

Marie x

fri/sat/sun is best for me x

What sort of times are people free? Like i said...On weekends im off completely...or weekdays im off from 6pm!

Marie x

What about a Sunday afternoon? In theory none of the parents are working as everything in Munich is shut, except restaurants which most of our families will be at to save doing cooking. Any thoughts on the times? Maybe this Sunday?

Im also keen to meet up, I started as an aupair here in September, lasted 2 months and had to get out. Im now crashing on my friends lounge, (only friend ive made since being here, sad i know.) but im soon to be renting a room else where.. I'm working as a babysitter to help support myself, so hopefully that counts in the scheme of things..

I agree with Dunners, that a Sunday afternoon would suit.. but unfortunatly I will be outta town this sunday... My availabilty is ridgid so you guys choose a time and place and let me know.. Looking forward to it.. :-) Sky

hopefully we will have more than one meet up, we should try and make it a regular thing I think. Maybe not every week, but every other. At for at least half the time, no kids or work talk allowed - at least half should be about having fun, just about us! I am happy to organise something if people are keen, well actually I will probably ask the lovely Mere to help, as she is pretty good at that sort of thing.

Hey there,

Sunday sounds good but im only free till 4-5 ish!?! If that's any good for anyone?

Marie x

Sunday is good for me too

Oh oh! i want to meet to. Hi ladies, ive been here for a little over a month now.. i live in a tiny little village near Lohhof. I want to meet too, minus the kid. But the busses and Sban and Uban dont run on sundays i dont think? Soo im going to skip this weekend out, but if i can invite myself to next week and get dropped off that would be great. .. Im nice i promise.. but getting desperate for friends has lead me to internet meetups. p.s. hope everything works out this weekend!

Maybe the network doesn't extend as far as the village you're in, but I assure you that Munich public transport runs on Sundays too.

Anybody up for some Turkey day fun? Me and a few others are putting something together if you have time and miss T-Day back home.. (US or Canada)

Jamieson, I had that problem when I lived in a little village out near Baldham... My options on a sunday.. were to beg a lift off the family to the nearest Sbahn. Im so glad I dont have that problem anymore..

Any chance you can get into Munich on a week night? week nights work better for me.. and as some of us cant make it on Sunday, maybe we could organise something one night early next week...

fyi DK, thanksgiving in Canada was awhile back...

of course we can do something on a week night if it works better for people.

Hey...like i said im pretty flex with my time off. I fin at 6 on weekdays if this suits everyone?

Just thought that i should add it takes between 40-50 minutes for me to get into town...

so why don't we do what the lovely Miss Dunners, my favorite kiwi, has suggested and meet up on Sunday? we'll say mid-day. later tonight there'll be an update as to time and place.

please post here if you have a preference for just chilling at a cafe/pub or doing something (museum, movie, a park). The weather is supposed to be a high of around 10C (b/t 6-12C) so around 50F.
i'd suggest for the first meet up prob a place that's not super crowded nor overly loud like a coffe place or something.

don't worry it takes me a good 45-60min to get into town too

Where do you guys live, 40-50mins into town??

i live in Gruenwald, but it's a 15-20min walk to the tram, then a 20min ride to the u/sbahn then taking that to wherever i'm going
it's really not that far when i drive it's faster (but i rarely drive all the way into town only part way and leave the car then jump on public transport)

I'm in Wolfratshaussen...Not many people even know where that is!!!

A coffee place sounds like a good idea i think as this will enable us to relax and get to know each other as that's what im wanting really is people that i can relate to and chat about things...Yeah ok...it boils down to one fact...I need friends (How sad to admit!!!)

Marie x

I wanna come.

come along perdido! you're more than welcome to (seriously)
