The town of Rodgau congratulates Birgit Matthes on her 25th anniversary as a childcare worker. Birgit Matthes, who currently works at the municipal daycare centre 5 in Römerstraße, is being honoured for her many years of commitment to childcare. Birgit Matthes began her professional career with a recognised internship at the Hainstadt childcare centre, where she subsequently also worked as a nursery teacher. In September 2002, she moved to Kita 5 in Rodgau, where she still works today. Over the past 25 years, Birgit Matthes has helped shape the development of countless children and has been a committed and reliable carer for the families. This commitment was particularly emphasised by the well-wishers. First City Councillor Janika Martin honoured Birgit Matthes not only for her professional work, but also for her voluntary commitment. She emphasised her active involvement in "Gude Steine", the courtyard flea markets and accompanying the young people on the exchange to Puiseaux. Kerstin Heck, Head of Kita 5, praised Birgit Matthes' colossal sense of humour, her tenacity, honesty and directness. She recalled how Mrs Matthes volunteered when the crèche was installed at Kita 5. Heck wished that they would continue to share a lot of joy together. Colleague Dana Lallinger shared a touching personal retrospective and recalled their shared history since 2011. First they were colleagues, then friends and finally Dana Lallinger became godmother to Birgit Matthes' son. Lallinger also mentioned the close connection to the crèche that opened in 2016, which they jointly named "Mini Monster" and which they were involved in planning throughout. Lallinger also emphasised their personal closeness, as Birgit Matthes accompanied her at her wedding and Lallinger became godmother to Birgit Matthes' son. Birgit Matthes described herself as a spontaneous person and thanked all those present for always standing by her side, both professionally and privately. The town of Rodgau would like to thank Birgit Matthes for her tireless commitment and wishes her all the best for the coming years.
