Our story

About miKind

We're building the resource every expat parent in Germany wishes they'd had from day one.

Our Mission

Making expat parenthood in Germany less overwhelming

Germany is a great place to raise kids — but navigating it in English can feel impossible. Between Elterngeld applications, Kita waitlists, Hebamme searches, and U-Untersuchungen, there's a mountain of bureaucracy nobody warns you about.

miKind exists to cut through the noise. Every week we send one focused, practical issue with the information you actually need — no German required.

Weekly

Practical tips, every week

What we cover

Each issue focuses on one practical topic expat parents actually face.

Paperwork & Benefits

Elterngeld, Kindergeld, Mutterschaftsgeld — explained in plain English with step-by-step guides.

Childcare & Kita

How to find a Kita spot, what to expect, bilingual options, and how the system actually works.

Health & Development

U-Untersuchungen, finding English-speaking paediatricians, and understanding the German health system.

Community & Events

Expat parent groups, playgroups, English-speaking baby classes, and local events across Germany.
