Customer reviews:

If you are an expat living in Berlin and a confused mother-to-be like me, Gitanjali’s pregnancy and postpartum tutorial will give you a quick glance on what it is like giving birth in the country, how to prepare for it, and all the supports and benefits you should apply for to help you start this exciting journey at ease. Thank you Gitanjali!

I absolutely recommend both of Gitanjali’s tutorials as a first immersión into the world of having a baby in Germany. It is useful to have all the information in one tutorial which otherwise I would have to search from different sources or they are even not full available in English. It is also cool that the tutorial give recommendations regarding what to expect.

Nina

Both her tutorials are great! It feels like sitting with a friend and hearing about everything I need to know about pregnancy and postpartum. She talks into the camera and explains everything calmly and slowly. I found it very useful and learned so many things about Elterngeld and postpartum care that I’d never heard before.

Any Questions?

Here are some answers:

We moved to Germany and our children weren't born here. Can we still get Kindergeld?

Yes! You can get Kindergeld for older children and siblings as well.

I had my baby abroad, can I still get benefits?

Generally, yes, you should get Elterngeld if your baby is less than 14 months of age and meets some other criteria.

You can book a consultation and we will figure it out together.

What if I have more questions after watching the tutorials?

That’s almost guaranteed! Which is why I am happy to answer your questions by email for no additional charge once you buy the tutorials or consultation.

I can't afford your services. Can you still help me?

Yes, we can find a way to work together. Please write me an email to discuss your situation.

Ich kann kein Englisch, kannst du mir trotzdem helfen?

Ja! Auch wenn du kein Englisch kannst, können wir zusammen arbeiten. Ich biete dir meine Beratung gerne auf Deutsch an.
