She passed her exams as a kindergarten teacher in 1930 at the Fröbelseminar in Giessen. After the first professional experience she gathered in Köln and Groß-Gerau, she came to Neu-Isenburg. In the spring of 1936 Hilde Joseph went back to her parents after Giessen. The director of "Heim Isenburg," Helene Krämer acknowledged her good work on March 5, 1936: "Miss Hilde Joseph [...], looked after the children with love and care, instructed them well according to her employment objective and won the love and affection of the children by her friendly nature."
