Baby In Berlin

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 helped us navigate and decide on how to apply for Elterngeld as 2 freelancers living in Berlin. This was our second born but first child born in Germany and the system was hard for us to understand as self-employed people. She was a huge help both with advice and the nitty gritty of the paperwork and she was still with us months later when I would receive scary looking letters in our Post from the Bezirkamsamt. She was a huge help and relief and honestly very low cost for the help and peace of mind of doing the paperwork correctly and having someone on our side that we could "call" on the topic when needed.

I'm so glad that we were able to work with Elodie for our Kindergeld and Elterngeld paperwork! She promptly and thoroughly answered every question I had during the application process. When you have a baby in Berlin, there are so many government forms to fill out, and she makes the process easy! I highly recommend the Kindergeld Application Service and the Elterngeld Premium Package - she fills out the paperwork for you (based on your wishes), and there is zero stress or confusion. She also took time to help us with other baby-related paperwork (health insurance, hospital forms, etc.)! Thanks for all your help, Elodie!

Elodie was a real support during my pregnancy. She was recommended to me by my gynecologist and I'm very happy to have met her! I was feeling lost and stressed with the German bureaucracy and she managed to make it very understandable. She's a people person who can be trusted. I recommend her to anyone having a baby in Germany!

Elodie helped us to find the best way to structure our Elterngeld application. She knows the process inside out. Highly recommended!

Elodie guided my husband and me through all the difficult paperwork and helped us find a midwife and doula we absolutely loved. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Baby in Berlin offers professional service with updated information. We finally found a comprehensive way to approach these painful bureaucratic processes and got help in English (which was hey for us!) Elodie cares for her clients and helps families design the best plans for their particular circumstances. 10/10 !!

Elodie is a life saver. She has helped my family navigate German paperwork with ease. I would recommend her and her wider team to anyone.
