Motherhood is like a wave that comes unstoppably into your life with a flood of emotions and changes. This wave brings with it both the highs of joy and love and the lows of unexpected challenges and self-discovery.

Each experience is like a drop of water that adds to the diversity of this transformative journey.

What is Mütterpflege / Mother care?

Becoming a mother is an event as unique as no other. There is nothing as powerful as a woman's ability to create a new life. However, the circumstances under which we go through this process are not always easy.

During this special time, it is important that mothers are not alone. The care provided by a Mütterpflegerin /maternal assistant offers emotional support and encourages mothers to recognize their own needs.

If you live in Berlin and think you need the help of a maternal assistant, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My role as Mütterpflegerin is to ease the challenges of motherhood, be it through practical help or by listening to the concerns and questions that arise.

This form of support not only promotes the mother's health, but also strengthens the bond between mother and child during a time of learning and growing, when love and care are the primary focus.

This makes the Mütterpflegerin a valuable help in this special phase of life: a friendly companion on the path to stability and well-being.

What I offer

Only a mother knows how much she is capable of giving. At any stage of motherhood. But you can't water with an empty watering can. In pregnancy and postpartum, or if you are going through an illness, your body needs time and rest, to gain strength and recover. And while you are not available as you would like to be, I am there to provide the help you and your family need. If you live in Berlin and need support, this is what I can offer you:

About me

My name is Belén. Born in Valencia, Spain, I have been living in Berlin since 2011. In this city I became a mother.

My daughter was born in 2018 and my son in 2020.

Motherhood has taught me to put the handbrake on and realise that, although life is wonderful, everything passes by really fast and you have to dedicate your time and energy to the things that really matter.
So that you can relax and concentrate on the important things, I'll take care of the rest.

So that you can relax and concentrate on the important things, I'll take care of the rest.

Becoming a mother in a country that is not your own can be a very difficult experience: language barriers, bureaucracy, cultural differences, are additional obstacles in a time that is already full of challenges for a woman. My main motivation is to be able to help other mothers who do not have enough support here. In order to reach as many women as possible, I offer my work in Spanish, German or English.

I am convinced that any work done at home is at least as valuable as the work done outside the home.

That's why I decided to become a GfG-Mütterpflegerin®️ / maternity care assistant.

I am a certified member of the professional association for Mütterpflegerinnen in Germany – MDEV Mütterpflege Deutschland e.V.

FAQs

I need a Mütterpflegerin / maternity care assistant - what do I need to do to apply for this support?

There are several ways to claim my services: through your health insurance company (Krankenkasse) or privately.

Most statutory health insurance companies (gesetzliche Krankenkasse) can cover the costs of a maternity care assistant as “Haushalthilfe” for a certain period of time (more information in the next question). An application form must be completed for this.

You will receive this form (application for domestic help) from your health insurance company. It is best to fill it out in advance and then talk to your doctor, as a medical certificate (from a gynecologist, family doctor or psychiatrist) is required for the application.

If you want to apply for it, just reach out to me, I will be happy to assist you with this process.

If you would like me to work for you privately, it is also possible. Please contact me so that we can discuss the price and your needs, and clarify any questions you may have.

In which cases does the Krankenkasse / health insurance company cover the costs of my services?

Under certain conditions, it is possible for your health insurance company to cover the costs of my services within a certain time/cost framework.

The following paragraphs form the legal basis for this:

§24 SGB V (home help during pregnancy and/or birth) - without co-payment.  +

This requires a medical certificate (from a gynecologist, family doctor or psychiatrist) and that no other person living in the household can take on these tasks.

§38 SGB V (household help in the event of illness) - with an additional co-payment of a maximum of EUR 5-10/day. +

This also requires a medical assessment and that there is no other person in the household who can help, as well as a child under the age of 12 living in the household (this can also be a newborn baby).

The duration and number of hours of my service are determined by the health insurance companies on a case-by-case basis, depending on need and the doctors' assessment.

What is the difference between a Hebamme / midwife and a Mütterpflegerin?

The role of a midwife is to provide medical care and monitor your health after the birth and the development of your baby. I cannot and will not replace the care of a midwife, she is indispensable and irreplaceable, but I can complement her work by making sure that you have the time and energy to follow your midwife's recommendations.

Important: I do not carry out any medical examinations or diagnoses.

What is the difference between a Mütterpflegerin / maternity care assistant and a Haushaltshilfe/home help?

The aim of a Mütterpflegerin is to support mother and child with a wide range of services, while a home help only deals with the household.

I am there for you, your baby and your family. Thanks to my extensive training, I can offer you targeted support during pregnancy and after the birth, as well as any other moment during motherhood where your health requires it. My tasks change daily, because every day has different needs: Some days you need more time to rest, others a special meal, and others an outing is on the agenda.

In contrast, a home help focuses exclusively on running the household and not on the personal situation and care of you and your baby.
