Diagnoses
Mrs. Roswitha Schäfer is 97 years old and lives alone in a family house in the city of Darmstadt (ZIP code 64287). She is still mentally fit, oriented in time and space, but due to her age and health condition, she requires assistance in daily life. She has a level 2 care dependency (Pflegegrad 2). She is mobile—able to walk on her own or with assistance, not bedridden. However, she is incontinent, uses incontinence aids, but can go to the toilet by herself. An outpatient nursing service visits the household, responsible for nursing tasks—specifically daily leg bandaging (likely due to venous issues). Night care is not required. The household is non-smoking (smoking is prohibited even outside), and there are no pets. Internet is available, and a separate room of approximately 20 m² is prepared for the caregiver. The house has two bathrooms, one of which is available for the caregiver. Mrs. Roswitha does not have any specific hobbies, spends her days peacefully at home—resting, eating, and sleeping, and does not require company for activities outside the home. However, she appreciates having someone to talk to and for general companionship. Job responsibilities for the caregiver: - Assistance with daily routine (communication, supervision) - Shopping - Cooking - Household management (cleaning, laundry, etc.) Requirements for the caregiver: - Female (age not specified) - Good knowledge of the German language - Experience in elderly care - Willingness to work long-term (no time restriction) - Driver's license not required This position is suitable for a caregiver who has a patient and calm approach, does not need a very active work environment, and does not require night care. Given the client's condition and the peaceful household, this offer is also suitable for a caregiver who prefers a quiet setting.

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.
