Episode 46: A brief overview about founding a family in Germany

<p>Since I announced being pregnant some time ago on LinkedIn, I have naturally also received more questions about founding a family or moving your family to Germany from my international clients. With this Episode, I am aiming to give you a quick overview about the most important topocs if you are thinking about founding a family in Germany or moving here.</p> <p>We will cover:</p> <ul> <li>Pregnancy: Healthcare, insurance &amp; maternity leave</li> <li>As an employee: parental allowance</li> <li>Childcare &amp; education</li> </ul> <p>Please note that I am not an expert in these fields, but as I mention in the Podcast, we have several places in Germany where you can specific advice for your situation.
