Elodie’s course is so well presented and well put together that it put our minds at ease while we were expecting our first baby. She walked us through all of the important areas that are necessary (elterngeld, kindergeld, kita searches, baby registration) that it made our to-do list so manageable and easy to take care of even after having the baby. Elodie’s course includes all paperwork as well which makes organising yourself very easy. She’s very approachable and very helpful and there was no question that was too much. Highly recommend

The Elterngeld case for my second child was so complex it took me 10 months to complete it. It was so draining I wanted to give up, live off my savings, and go back to work earlier. Thankfully, I remembered Elodie who helped me with the Elterngeld case for my first child. In just a couple of weeks, with a few short phone calls to Elterngeldstelle, Elodie managed to resolve my case resulting in a payout just short of €20K. It is incredible what a professional with the right knowledge, connections and language skills can achieve! I highly recommend Elodie and her team. They will save you so much time and energy that you will be able to spend with your little one(s) instead! ❤️

Elodie has been a fantastic support in the paperwork process, it’s been such a relief to have someone help us with the forms and understanding the process. She has been really friendly and efficient. Highly recommend :)

Elodie is very expert in the subject Elterzeit/geld in all Germany. We did the consultation and even we live in Stuttgart (not in Berlin) she explained how it works, clarify all ours doubts and support us to filled the application. We really recommended Baby in Berlin.

Elodie was absolutely indispensable to us in understanding the Elternzeit/Elterngeld application process and navigating German bureaucracy. I would recommend her to anyone regardless of how long you’ve lived in Germany!

l highly recommend Elodie's services! She helped me with the Elterngeld process and her kita course helped me a lot to understand what to do.She is very friendly, responsive and professional.

Elodie has a deep knowledge on German admin and will make everything cristal clear for you. She will guide you in the maze with patience and will make sure you're left with no remaining questions or worries. For my first child, I did everything by myself and by the book, I was employed and didn't have much questions but realised afterward that my family could have benefited more from the elternzeit/elterngeld, german is not our first language and we didn't understand everything. So for my second child and because I became a freelancer I decided to be advised on these topics. And I am so happy I did !!! Elodie explained clearly what our options were and thanks to her, all the documents she provides and help filling in the paperwork, I can relax and enjoy my parental leave. I can both take care of my babies and work a bit with a very decent elterngeld which is exactly what I wanted and actually didn't think it could be possible because of my new status. Thanks again !

I would highly recommend Elodie to anyone who is trying to understand and/or navigate the parental bureaucracy in Germany. She was an enormous help to us when we are trying to understand and then apply for Elterngeld. Being new to Germany while pregnant she really helped take the stress out of the whole experience; explaining everything, outlining our options, helping us with the application and our follow up questions. We are now going to use her services to navigate the Kindergeld system and application!

When it comes to Parental allowance would always recommend Baby in Berlin. Elodie is my go-to for any questions regarding parental leave or allowance. As our situation ( like for most expats) is a bit tricky and of course our level of German even on the best day is questionable, we would never be able to submit the forms correctly and in time, without her help. Moreover, I really appreciate her taking the time to explain to us, not just do our dirty work in german, but really made us understand our options and how it work. Now 7 months later she still takes the time to answer my questions, and we so appreciate the support and advice she has given us. Not many times can you feel someone got your back with German bureaucracy, this is one of them. Thank you Elodie!

Elodie’s professionalism and warm, friendly attitude was the best help we could ask for during our Elterngeld application. My case became a bit more complicated as I switched health insurance halfway into the process, but Elodie was always swift to respond and redo any related paperwork, and went out of her way to keep me on track. My partner and I cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you Elodie!

Being pregnant in Germany without not knowing yet good German and not understanding what and when should be done is pretty challenging. When I found Baby in Berlin concierge service, that was a real relief for me! Elodie has so professionally structured the knowledge, created the roadmap and shared her recommendations with my family, so my pregnancy was stressless because I had a clear plan in my head. Looking back, I can't imagine what would be the pregnancy without Elodie support. I can truly recommend Baby in Berlin service for all expats that are pregnant first time in Germany.

What a life-saver ! Elodie was so helpful and the consultation and help we got were worth every penny ! We were absolutely overwhelmed by the mountains of bureaucracy ahead of us as soon-to-be parents in Germany (not even mentioning the language barrier). We purchased the VIP package as well as the Post-partum preparation consultation. This helped a lot with understanding our rights from the work-place and state, optimizing and fitting to our needs the parental leave and payments. Understanding the KITA system and how to enhance the chances of getting in. Elodie helped clear everything up, make a precise plan as well as help us get the registration documents ready for submission. We honestly don't know how we would have been able to do all if this by ourselfs. Thank you Elodie !

If you need help with German bureaucracy and overall understanding everything important about starting a family in Berlin then Elodie is the perfect person to help. She really took the time to understand our situation and give tailored advice, as well as lots of helpful resources. She is currently also helping us with our Elterngeld application and it is such a relief to have her advice so that we avoid unnecessary hassle at a time when I am sure we will soon be overwhelmed and sleep deprived. I highly recommend the Baby in Berlin services!

Elodie is the best! Everything is done so fast and efficient for Eltern & Kindergeld. She gives you exact infos you need, no any confusing parts. She helped me to do complex German papers so easy. Highly recommended!

Elodie makes a really confusing and potentially stressful process very easy and straightforward. She is so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend her services!

Elodie was an incredible help to me and my husband with our Elterngeld application. Everything was dealt with really efficiently and she made some really great points we hadn’t considered. I strongly recommend Baby in Berlin, and I’m so glad I found this helpful service. Having gone through the process now I see how impossibly stressful it would have been to face this alone. Thanks Elodie!
