I'm trying to find my way over!

My ds(b.6/20/2003) and I lived in Eberswalde (40k NE Berlin) from March-June, with my fiancee who German and is studying for his bachelor degree.

Our 2 mountains to climb are: not enough money and would like a regular playmate or 2 for my ds!

So, I thought it would be perfect to babysit/nanny.
You can find my blurbs by going to:
http://berlin.craigslist.org/kid/9962562.htm
or:
www.greataupair.com and type 375570 into the "Locator Number" window

Near Eberswalde would be best, because I have 2 other little jobs to return to there (teaching English 1 morning/week in a kita and- a botanical illustration job! Yippee! The beginning I've waited a long time for! (It's 6 mos and 10 hours/week)

But anyway, my lovely guy and I need to generate more income- with him being a full-time student and all- and my passions are children and art.

((Of course we want to live all together soon, but I could certainly live-in nanny too, especially as dfiancee is renting a room in a student flat where I can't live (I am half ethnic Chinese, and his landlord told us last time that he is "not running a refugee camp" so I don't feel so comfortable there.. okay, a little scared actually). :blah Anyway, dfiancee should stay there until Feb. so that he doesn't move mid-semester. ))

A last little tricky part is this: dfiancee is studying in an international program and goes to Karlstad, Sweden from the beg. Feb to end. April next year. I would love to go if I could find a third flexible employer (maybe not so realistic but might as well put it out there), and then I would return to Germany beg.May for the Summer. I love Sweden and speak Swedish!

thanks very much for any help/advice!
:)

You might also consider looking into some sort of co-op housing. I hear there are a few options there in Berlin or you might try something larger like a proper commune. Look at the Intentional Communities website under Germany and you'll see quite a few. Just a thought. Good luck.
