Hi there
Does anybody have any recommendations for babysitters, maybe somebody has a regular babysitter who they use and trust? Am interested in finding someone to use for occasional evenings out or even daytime hours (gives me chance to get to the gym). Would pay good rates? (Prob about 10 euros an hour)... Must be quite experienced with kids though.
Please let me know if you do, thanks

It might be useful to let us know where in Hamburg you are looking for a babysitter... Don't think anybody would like to travel from Eimsbüttel to Bergedorf or so...?!

I met ShellAndrews at the ladies' games night yesterday, and we talked about the problem.
We suggested to her to try and find a "Tagesmutter" (Day-mom) in her area. Can be found via "Jugendamt" (Department of Youth and Family Services), they have addresses of certified day-moms, otherwise you could check the "Stadtteilzeitung" (local newspapers) that many districts have, or the notice boards that many supermarkets have.
To have a "Tagesmutter" is a very common thing in Germany. Normally it's stay-at-home-moms with small kids who "adopt" other children during the day. How many days per week and how many hours per day is usually pretty flexible, so that if you only want one or two days off to go to the gym or for some me time, or if you have part-time work, it's normally not a problem, but 5 days per week should also be fine - it all depends on the Tagesmutter.

Hi there!
I had big troubles finding bbsitter, now I'm sorted out so I can give you a few
tips to make life easier

First of all there's a list of babysitters on International school message board, most of them are high school kids, sometimes teachers.
Then you can advertise yourself at Kostenlose Kleinanzeige (KIJIJI
http://hamburg.kijiji.de/) or look up for babytitters who advertise there (go to Dienstleistungen, then Kinderbetreung). That's how I foun my other babysitter.
Also try the same at Jobportal at Hamburg University,
http://www.stellenwerk-hamburg.de/.
And also you can try Jugendamt at the district you live for list of babysitters and Tagesmutter.
Good luck!

Hello,
My name is Michaella and I am a 24 year old Australian girl living in Hamburg. I have a job at a pub a couple of nights a week but I am very keen to find work during the day as a babysitter - I am free every day. I have worked with children before both in a child care centre and as an au pair. I would love to hear from anyone who may need a babysitter!
I can be contacted on mickeyw_2000@hotmail.com or 015773254822.
Thanks!

Hi I am a qualified Kindergarten teacher, highly experienced nanny and visual artist from Australia.
I am living in Hamburg with my partner in Ottensen, for at least the next 3 years.
I am not currently working, so I am available for babysitting or part time regular hours, as I am working on may artwork from my studio at home.
I can provide you with a resume, written references and I have a current first aid certificate.
I am turning 30 this year, so have really been looking after children both full and part time for the last 15 years.
I am creative and fun. I love being outside, have been known to boogie, sing and roll down grassy hills!
Only those that like to cuddle and laugh need apply!
you can reach me at: jessallen25@yahoo.com.au
Hope to hear from you soon!
