What parents often ask

I do — Linn-Marie (14). For regular babysitting, I'm the one who comes.

If you need extra hands — bigger birthday parties, events with many kids, or long evenings — I know plenty of people: my friends are experienced babysitters (with their own training), and my brothers Finn (16) and Joel (18) help too. Before such a session I tell you exactly who's joining.

From toddlers around 2 years up to primary-school age. We currently do not look after infants. For special needs we can discuss whether we are the right fit.

München-Lehel and surroundings. Travel within Lehel is included; further destinations on request.

German and English fluently. Happy to look after English-speaking families — the site and our communication are bilingual.

We come to you and look after your kids in their familiar environment. Playing, homework, dinner, bedtime — whatever is needed. Tell us beforehand what's important.

You bring the kids to us in München-Lehel. We have a fenced yard with ping-pong and chalk, indoor toys and books. Max. 4 kids at once, an adult of Linn's household is always reachable in the house. Exact address shared after booking.

I come to your event and look after the kids. For a larger group, I bring backup — one of my friends or one of my brothers, Finn or Joel. Long evenings (past 6 p.m.) are covered or accompanied by Joel.

I run the programme: games, crafts, treasure hunts — adapted to age and wishes. For many kids I bring a friend or one of my brothers as backup. Important: the birthday child's parents remain the primary supervisors; I'm the entertainer. With this setup the number of kids is flexible.

We pick up your child from daycare or school and watch them until you're back — homework, snacks, play, evening routine. Pickup is included within Lehel; other parts of town: ask us. You'll need to give us written pickup authorization for the institution, signed once upfront.

Send your request via the form on the home page. We reply within 24 hours. Parents cannot book themselves directly — we personally confirm each booking, only then is it final.

Usually within 24 hours, often faster.

Free until 24 h before the date. Less than 24 h: 50 %. No-show: 100 %. Child illness or force majeure: case-by-case, usually free. Details in our terms.

I let you know as soon as I know. I check my network — one of my babysitter friends or one of my brothers often jumps in. If that doesn't work, no cancellation fee applies for you.

Yes, on request. We share our live location via WhatsApp or Apple's "Find My" feature for the duration of the booking. Full transparency — sharing ends automatically after the session.

Happily — e.g. "We had pasta and are now in the yard", a photo of the craft project, or a quick note at bedtime. Tell us in advance what you'd like. Some parents want hourly updates, others prefer quiet — both are fine.

Yes, on request. Short recap: what we did, what the child ate, when they slept, anything noteworthy.

Yes — within Lehel included, further destinations on request. You need to give us written pickup authorization for the institution; we bring it to the meeting and you sign once.

Yes. We have completed a paediatric first-aid course and refresh it regularly. Confirmation on request.

We have private liability insurance. Before the first booking we clarify the insurance situation jointly and, on request, provide written confirmation.

For drop-off at our place, an adult of Linn's household is always in the house. For sessions at your place, we have your emergency numbers and can reach you any time. Medical emergency: emergency services.

Absolutely — we highly recommend a free introductory meeting before the first booking. We get to know each other, the child can warm up, and you can ask all your questions.

Yes — combine it with the introductory meeting and you know exactly where your child will be.

Totally individual and fair — somewhere between €15 and €25 per hour. All toys included! :-D

The exact number depends on service type, duration, and number of kids — events and birthday parties can be priced differently. I quote you in writing in advance, no surprises.

If it doesn't fit your situation, just tell me — we'll work something out. And tips are always welcome ☺.

Either cash right after the session or bank transfer within 7 days.

Yes, on request anytime.

Yes — in Germany, babysitting counts as a household-related service (§ 35a EStG). You can deduct 20 % of costs (up to €4,000/year) directly from your tax. Requirements:

• A proper invoice / receipt from us — we provide on request
• Bank transfer — cash payment is not accepted by the German tax authority

• Full info on the child: allergies, sleep time, food preferences, special notes
• Emergency contacts and paediatrician number
• Keys / door code if relevant
• If medication is required: written instructions
• For daycare/school pickup: signed authorization

For events and birthdays we bring a mobile toy kit (crafts, board games, books in DE and EN, dress-up set). For drop-off at our place, the toys are already there.

I cover daytime sessions until 6 p.m. — that's my main thing. For long evenings (weddings, parties) I bring backup: Joel (18) or an adult friend can go open-end. Finn (16) until 8 p.m.

For events (weddings, parties) yes. For regular babysitting we prefer weekdays and Saturdays. Just ask.
