Caring for seniors is very rewarding work. A live-in caregiver's duties always depend on the client's specific needs. Sometimes help in the household and company for an elderly person are enough; at other times professional care is needed, such as help with personal hygiene, going to the toilet, moving and dressing, or supervising that medication is taken correctly. Besides a contented senior, your reward will be attractive pay, which varies depending on the client's state of health, your language skills and your experience.
For our carers, we always try to provide the best possible working conditions and full support during their stay abroad. We strive to make our carers as satisfied as their clients because only under such conditions is it possible to do their job well and with love.

Fill out the registration form on our website. Be honest and provide the most accurate information possible. This way, you will help us find a job that will best suit you.
RegisterKnowledge of a foreign language is crucial for the work of caregivers. Therefore, we verify it with each new applicant through a short interview. This interview will help us better understand your language skills and abilities.
If you have completed a caregiving course, have relevant certificates or written references from families where you have worked, please send them to us. These documents can significantly increase your chance of being approved for the position.
On our website, you will find regularly updated offers of job vacancies from which you can choose. We can also find offers according to your preferences. If you have a selected location, length of work period, or know what type of patient you prefer, we can also find a tailored offer for you.
Job offersWe will let you know whether you have been approved by the client for the selected offer. We will inform you about the approval well in advance so that you have time to prepare.
We arrange transportation to the place of work via transport companies in a "door-to-door" manner. The carrier will pick you up at your address and take you directly to the family. If you prefer bus or train, you can choose this form of transportation. The travel allowance is listed with each offer.
During your entire work stay, we will provide you with support and assistance. You can contact us with any questions or problems that may arise.
After completing your work stay, you will provide us with feedback and evaluation. Your experiences will help us improve our services and ensure higher quality for future applicants.
If you are interested in further work after the end of your current work stay, we can help you find a new position in Germany. This process will be simpler because we will already have your information and experience.
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.
