Caregiving for an 86-year-old senior (175 cm, 70 kg) in Büchenbach (village), where he lives in a family house (150 m²) with his wife, who is completely fit, drives herself, and does not require caregiving assistance. The senior is mobile in the house with a wheelchair, can take a few steps, but needs help with standing up and sitting down (requires lifting/lowering slowly), which can be managed by a woman, as the senior assists significantly. He is incontinent of urine, wears diapers for safety, but signals when he needs to use the toilet. He is slightly forgetful and occasionally confused depending on the day, but his orientation in time, place, and person is otherwise intact; it is important to ensure he drinks plenty throughout the day. He is entirely dependent on assistance for dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene, and requires partial help with eating, including cutting food, depending on the day's condition. He also requires lifting with light support; available equipment includes a bath lift, wheelchair, toilet chair, lifting system, and a nursing bed in the living room. The caregiver manages the household, maintains kitchen cleanliness, does laundry, changes pajamas daily, and changes bed linens several times a week. She takes him for walks with the wheelchair (15–20 min), plays games 1–2 times a week, and keeps him company – however, the senior sleeps a lot during the day, so extended attention is not necessary. Afternoon coffee with cake is very important to him. No night work is required. The caregiver's arrival is possible exclusively via a transport service directly to the front door. The caregiver has her own room with internet access, and the bathroom is shared. Free time: daily from 12:00–15:00 (+/- 1 hour depending on the day), always 3 consecutive hours in the afternoon; additionally, free time outside the home on Fridays from 13:00 to 19:00. A woman with good German skills (sufficient for conversation) is sought, smoking is tolerated only outside (the wife also smokes outside, no smoking indoors). Immediate start, long-term.

ALSES – your reliable partner on the path to a successful career.
You don't pay our employment agency anything at all. We believe it is not right to charge people money in order to enable them to work, and so we offer assistance in finding job positions completely free of charge.
Most job positions in Germany are based on Slovak/Czech trade licenses, though employment contracts are possible with some families. In Switzerland, work is conducted under Swiss employment contracts.
A caregiving course is not required for families in Germany, but you need at least some experience of caring at home. In Switzerland, most families require a caregiving course.
Finding a family is an individual matter for every candidate, so there is no exact time frame for when we will find you a family that suits you both. In some cases we can arrange a job within a few hours, at other times the wait is a few days. For families in Switzerland, the wait can stretch to a month because of high demand. We place candidates fastest in the summer months, June – August, and more slowly from the end of January to the end of March.
If you wish, we will organise your transport. We have worked for many years with transport companies that our caregivers are happy to use again and again. You can of course choose another way of travelling that you prefer. The caregiver pays for the journey herself and the family contributes to it – €180 – 300 in Germany, CHF 380 – 400 in Switzerland, depending on the offer. If you do not have the cash to travel to Germany, we can pay the fare for you and deduct it from your pay afterwards.
In Germany a standard assignment lasts 4 – 6 weeks, in Switzerland 2 – 3 months. Replacement assignments are shorter.
In Germany the pay is up to €3 500 a month as a self-employed caregiver – the exact amount is stated in each offer. It depends on your German, the client’s state of health and whether you care for one person or a married couple. In Switzerland the pay is up to CHF 3 500 net a month on a Swiss employment contract.
In Germany, families most often require intermediate to good German; some are happy with basic German and/or want another language, such as Czech, Russian or Bulgarian. Families in Switzerland require good German, although a solid intermediate level is sometimes enough.
Yes, we successfully place male caregivers with families too.
