Episode list

Henriette Höffner is finally fed up. She has now worked for around 40 years, but life is still a struggle - especially for economic survival. The encounter with the personable career advisor Mr. Loibinger gives Henriette an idea: Although she has neither training nor reserves, she has a lot of spontaneity, energy and life experience. In addition, it is as patent as it is unconventional and headstrong - it would be laughable if all these qualities were not put together in some way. Her grandson Toby helps her to set up a website that is not quite "straightforward", and Henriette actually got her first job in record time - as an exclusive international childcare worker. Her first trip takes her to the dream island of Mauritius, where she is supposed to help the newly widowed hotel manager Dieter Waldner, who is hopelessly overwhelmed in human questions, in childcare. Not an easy undertaking, because Henriette may have a talent for improvisation, but she lacks any routine when dealing with kids. Despite everything, Waldner's daughters Stella and Marie soon take Henni into their hearts, but dad himself turns out to be a much tougher nut. On top of that, he is about to run straight into his misfortune - thanks to the smart Munich "businesswoman" Veronika Fuchs, who wraps the hotel manager around her little finger. Veronika has a perfidious, ingenious and apparently watertight plan - in which, however, she did not count on the Henriette factor.

Henriette sets off on her second assignment abroad as a global nanny. This time the Munich woman, who was actually registered as "looking for work", is going to an idyllic but remote farm in South Africa. Henriette is supposed to look after 16-year-old Anton and his younger brother Linus, who are supposed to spend four weeks with their grandfather Konrad Eckstein without their parents. But the busy veterinarian and gamekeeper has neither the time nor the desire to take care of the bored city children himself. The 60-year-old is also anything but friendly with the nanny he flew in from Germany. The life-experienced Henriette realizes that deep beneath the rough shell there is a soft core when she sees him interacting with wild animals. With her empathy and a bit of courage, she sets out to find out what has broken his relationship with his grandchildren and his daughter Johanna, who turned her back on the farm a long time ago. Henriette, herself an expert in messed up parent-child relationships, also takes care of them. However, when it comes to her own matters of the heart, the otherwise tough nanny is a bit of a hassle herself. The angular Konrad, who secretly likes Henriette, also sets out to lure her out of her reserve.

Henni can hardly believe it: Canada is really as beautiful as the woman from Munich dreamed it would be. Your ticket to the world is again a cheated order as a premium nanny. The German-born entrepreneur Christopher hired her to take care of his daughter Bristol so that he could prepare his second wedding in peace. Soon after arriving, Henni notices that the 13-year-old is not only struggling with her future stepmother Pia, but that she is also attracting trouble: a shoplifting as a test of courage, a secret party tour and bad school grades. Henni is now fully challenged - who would have thought that even a knowledge of Goethe would be expected from a premium nanny? With her mixture of straightforwardness, pragmatism and loyalty, she wins Bristol's trust and finds out what is missing in the well-to-do family: human closeness. While Christopher takes little time for the teenager, her grandmother Esther turns out to be an emotional ice block and her mother Greta an egoist. No wonder Bristol is now sounding the alarm. Mr. Loibinger, Hennis' long-suffering supervisor at the Munich employment agency, gets into trouble. He has to turn her illegal solo efforts as a nanny into an eligible business idea in order not to be thrown out of his job himself. When Loibinger suddenly stands at the door in Canada, even Henni is amazed.

Henni gets off the Munich-Bari suburban bus enthusiastically in sunny Apulia. Her new assignment leads the globetrotter nanny to a German emigrant family with two teenage children. Rosa Westphal, who runs a picturesque olive farm with her husband Benno, relies heavily on the teacher with the impressive references. It seems strange to Henni that the self-confident A student Luisa and the musically gifted but sensitive Julian need supervision at all - especially since the family's finances are obviously bad. In addition, Henni is amazed at a secret visit to the doctor by her client, which she happened to observe. Henni finds the husband's closeness to the attractive Vittoria, who is busy on the farm, suspicious. The violent quarrels between the couple also suggest little good. Henni wants to know what's going on with Rosa. But she doesn't let anyone get close to her. When Henni finds out the real reason, she realizes the extent of the worries. After she finally saw through the plan of her client, Henni shows her core competence: She fights with heart to keep the family together.
