About the volunteering opportunity
The baby has arrived, the joy is huge - and nothing works anymore. Those who don't have any help from family, friends or neighbors after the birth can get it through the project: a volunteer comes to the family's home once or twice a week for one or two hours like a good angel and looks after the baby or sibling.
The project offers practical help after the birth and is modern neighborhood assistance. The volunteers help in the same way that family, neighbors or friends would. They enjoy working with children and often bring their own experiences from the family. No special professional qualifications are required for this task.
Your Tasks
Tasks include, for example, watching over the baby's sleep while the mother recovers, playing with the sibling or accompanying the mother of twins to the doctor. Very practical: supporting and listening!
