Client
woman 90 years 155 cm 54 kg
Diagnoses
We are looking for a reliable and empathetic caregiver for a 90-year-old senior (155 cm, 54 kg) who suffers from Parkinson's disease without tremors. She has mild dementia, with symptoms varying according to her current condition. She moves with the help of a rollator or cane, and incontinence occurs only rarely. At night, she can independently go to the toilet with the help of a rollator or cane.
The job responsibilities include assistance with dressing and undressing, personal hygiene and showering (particularly washing and drying her back), meal preparation, household management, joint walks, and routine household tasks such as laundry, vacuuming, watering plants, and small shopping errands.
The most important task for the caregiver is the precise administration of medication for Parkinson's disease. Medications are administered daily at 06:00, 07:00, 11:00, 15:00, 19:00, and 21:00. The senior has reminders set on her mobile phone, but when alone, she might confuse or take the medications all at once. Therefore, diligent supervision is necessary. Ideally, she should visit the toilet at 06:00 before receiving the first medication.
During the day, it is advisable to engage the senior appropriately and spend time with her. In the evening, it is necessary to monitor her fluid intake, ensuring that after 18:00, she drinks only the essential amount of fluids along with her medications. This usually allows her to sleep through the night.
Occasionally, a so-called "attack" of Parkinson's disease may occur, during which the senior suddenly weakens, needs to lie down, and rests or sleeps for approximately one to two hours. After these difficulties subside, she returns to her usual daily routine.
The household is equipped with all necessary aids – a rollator, wheelchair, cane, and soon an electric adjustable bed. The caregiver can use an Econelo electric scooter, electric bicycle, and a regular bicycle.
The family is very accommodating and supportive.

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.
