What is a Leihoma or a Leihopa?

You spend time with children, accompany them in everyday life and support families where you are needed – for example when playing, reading aloud, going to appointments, in everyday life or by the hour as reliable support. You decide for yourself which families suit you, in which region and to what extent you want to be active.

Become a SenioAngel® Leihoma or Leihopa

Here's how it works:

1

Sign up for free

Create your profile and enter important details (e.g. experience, availability, interests).

2

Find matching families

Discover requests from families in your region and choose the families that suit you yourself.

3

Talk anonymously by video call

Clarify all questions and get to know the family calmly by video call – without exchanging personal contact details.

It's not just grandmothers who become a Leihoma

Younger people or loving caregivers, too, can be exactly what a child needs right now.

Whether reading aloud, laughing or playing – it's not about perfection, but about real time together.
Because often it's precisely these small moments that stay with us.

And sometimes something truly special emerges from it: a little piece of family.

How you can support families

  • Give time & be there

    Playing together, reading aloud, picking up or dropping off (e.g. school or kindergarten), or simply listening – often it's the small moments that make the difference.

  • Relieve parents

    While you lovingly take care of things, parents can recharge or get things done in peace.

  • Help individually – exactly as needed

    Whether occasionally, regularly or spontaneously – you help exactly when it suits you.

  • Pass on experience

    Your life and family experience is valuable – and can give children a sense of security and comfort.
