English-language parent coaching in Munich
Play-based support for international families with children aged 0 to 16, from someone who has worked inside Munich's bilingual Kitas and knows what the first months here feel like.
Everyone mentions the Eingewöhnung, nobody explains it, and your child cries at every drop-off.
German at Kita, English at home, maybe a third language with grandparents. Is the mixing normal? Is the silence?
Sleep slipped, tantrums grew, and you are adjusting too, without the family and friends who used to help.
These reactions are common and usually temporary. With the right support, most children settle within a few months.
20 minutes by video. You describe what is happening; I tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
I visit you at home or we meet online, and I get to know your child through play.
Concrete, written next steps that work with your routines, languages and childcare, not against them.
Short check-ins as things change, so you are never left on your own with the plan.
Every package starts with a free intro call. All prices are final. No VAT is charged under § 19 UStG (small business).

About me
I have spent 10 years with young children in Munich, as a Kita educator in bilingual settings and as a nanny for international families.
I hold a BA in Childhood Studies and an MSc in Child and Youth Care, and I work through play, because that is how young children make sense of change. I also moved here myself, so I know how it feels to decode Kita letters and rebuild a support network from scratch.
Parent evenings in English, welcome sessions for new families and settling-in packages for relocating employees.
Offers for organisationsNo. I work with healthy families on everyday questions: settling in, routines, behaviour, transitions and bilingual development. I do not diagnose or treat medical or psychological conditions. If something needs a clinician, I will say so and help you find one.
Families with children from birth to 16 years.
No. Everything happens in English. I also speak German, so I can help you make sense of letters from the Kita or school and prepare for conversations with staff.
At your home anywhere in Munich, or online by video call. Home visits outside the city are possible; travel costs €0.50 per km outside the city limits, there and back.
What the Eingewöhnung (Kita settling-in period) is, how long it takes, how the Berlin and Munich models differ and how to prepare your child.
Home language, German at Kita, English at school: strategies for multilingual families, myths to ignore and Bavaria's German check before school.
Registration, Kita search, paediatrician, Kindergeld and school entry, plus how to help small children through the move itself.
