About the volunteering opportunity
Volunteering for families
The first few months after the birth of a child are a big challenge for all parents. Despite the joy of having a baby, for many families the normal madness begins at home after the birth: the baby cries, nobody does the shopping, the sibling is jealous or the partner is not yet on parental leave. With the wellcome - practical help after the birth service, we support parents who want relief during this time, especially when other helping hands are missing. Our volunteers support families in a practical and uncomplicated way.

Your Tasks
Do you enjoy working with babies?
Are you looking for a flexible commitment?
Are you reliable and open-minded?
As a wellcome volunteer, you give mothers and fathers a little break in their everyday lives. This allows parents to recharge their batteries so that they don't lose sight of the most important thing - the joy of their child! Give young parents a good start to family life. As a wellcome volunteer, you can help in a very concrete way: taking a walk with the baby, playing with the sibling or accompanying the mother or father to the pediatrician. And it's very flexible: you meet the family once or twice a week for 2 - 3 hours for 3 - 4 months. Then the next family is already looking forward to it. No special qualifications are necessary, as you will be well supported by your team coordinator.
