Au-pair the year 2025 is Brenda from Mexico

Brenda Jiménez from Mexico was Familienservice Au-pair Year 2025 by her host family and pme Familienservice . She settled in quickly in Pfronten, at the foot of the Allgäu Alps: "She walks through the mountains with the boys, discovers local markets, and diligently practices German to communicate even better with us," says host mother Lea. 

Brenda enchants the Allgäu region  

Since August 2025, Brenda Jiménez has been the "bright star" of the Trenkle family. After just a short time, she has enriched family life in the Allgäu region for Leo (1), Charlie (3), and parents Lea and Kilian – with empathy, initiative, humor, and her warmth. Within a few months, Brenda has become deeply rooted in everyday German life, making friends and bringing new cultures and languages together. 

"With her loving, positive, and humorous nature, she brings laughter and warmth to our everyday lives—the children simply adore her and love it when she tells stories from Mexico or romps with them through the alpine meadows." – The Trenkle family 

Warmth that goes through the stomach 

"Brenda goes above and beyond," her host family writes. She impresses not only with her warm care, but also with her cooking skills. Once a week, she serves Mexican specialties such as fresh tacos or enchiladas – a highlight for the whole family. 

With her keen intuition, Brenda is always there when needed—whether picking up the children or preparing dinner. Her dedication and energy make the Trenkle family's life both varied and relaxed. 

"Their energy and commitment turn our hectic family life into a real adventure, but also bring deceleration and relaxation into it!" says the Trenkle family.

pme focuses on men's health

In 2026, the pme Familienservice will launch a new series of lectures offering numerous practical tips and an open exchange on the topic of men's health.

After focusing specifically on women's health in its activities this year, the pme Familienservice Group is expanding its focus in the new year and is now also making companies and their employees more aware of men's health.

With the new lecture series, pme Familienservice is specifically encouraging male employees to take active responsibility for their health and focus on their own well-being.

Why is pme dedicated to the topic of men's health?

Employee health is a key success factor for any company. However, men are much less likely than women to attend preventive care. Only 22% regularly attend check-ups, compared to 59% of women (German Society for Men and Health DGMG, 2022). As a result, illnesses are often detected (too) late, which can lead to longer absences, loss of performance and higher costs.

"The focus on men's health not only offers the opportunity to educate about physical changes and health risks, but also to address and reflect on the male role perception in the company and social context as well as the associated health behavior," says Felix Aguntius, BGM expert at pme Familienservice GmbH.

Health-promoting measures in the company show appreciation, strengthen motivation and satisfaction, retain skilled workers and promote a corporate culture in which health and individual needs are given high priority.

Companies that focus on the health of their employees also assume social responsibility and invest in their own long-term success.
