Great news reported in the press this weekend for older women looking for adventure and something new and different.
A German company, see www.granny-aupair.com,was set up in 2010 to provide opportunities for older women to be au pairs. Their member register includes women from ages 49-76 with the most active users in their 60s.
This service provides older, independent women with a taste for adventure, opportunities to travel the world to new countries and to learn new languages. Many of the women have already raised a family and have all that experience and knowledge to draw on.
Hopefully someone in the UK will think about setting up something as the website is in German!
