"Jessica helped me and my partner settle in fast by smoothly guiding us through German bureaucracy regarding residency and working permit and registration, as well as providing crucial orientation for everyday life in Berlin. Jessica is professional, fast, and always reassuring - our needs were understood and taken care of. We would always work with her again for all future relocations!"

"When I came to Berlin, I had a newborn and an ambitious project ahead of me. Besides dealing with all the bureaucracy and administration for our arrival and departure, Jessica was immensely helpful by finding us a nanny and setting us up in a way that allowed us to effectively combine work and family. She was always there for us and found excellent solutions for the various challenges we were facing as a young family abroad. I warmly recommend her - as a person and as a professional problem solver."
