Caregiving for an elderly couple in the city of Bonn. The senior gentleman is 87 years old (70 kg, 175 cm) and the senior lady is 82 years old. They reside in a large, well-situated house with two terraces near the city center and a park. The family lives nearby and is ready to assist if needed. The senior gentleman has experienced a fall and surgery for a fracture of the right humerus, currently undergoing rehabilitation and physiotherapy. He relies on a wheelchair and currently requires full transfer assistance. An adjustable bed is available. He suffers from hand tremors and has developed dementia post-surgery—he often appears confused, has weakened short-term memory, but sometimes can engage in completely clear conversations. He requires complete assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, toilet visits, and all daily activities. He can now drink independently and can transfer himself to the wheelchair for meals. At night, he wears incontinence aids, and night assistance is only occasionally necessary depending on his current health condition. The senior lady is physically independent and mobile but suffers from dementia, which primarily manifests as impaired short-term memory, while her long-term memory remains intact. She has a disrupted day and night rhythm, has previously suffered a hip fracture, and has osteoporosis and thyroid disease. She also takes a mild antidepressant. She mainly needs guidance and motivation for personal hygiene and daily activities. The job primarily involves complete care for the senior gentleman, supporting the senior lady in daily activities, and managing the household. The caregiver prepares meals, handles cleaning, and does laundry. Another lady assists with shopping, and there is also help with cleaning in the household. We are looking for a caregiver with a good command of German (knowledge of English is also an advantage). Smoking is only allowed outside the house.

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.
No, completing a caregiving course is not necessary for most job positions; however, it is important to have at least some experience from a home environment.
Finding a family is a highly individual matter for each applicant, and therefore there is no exact timeframe for when we will find you a family with whom you will be mutually compatible. In some cases, we are able to arrange work within a few days; in other instances, the waiting period can be up to a month. For families in Switzerland, due to high demand, the wait may extend to two months.
If you are interested, we can arrange transportation for you. We have long-term partnerships with transport companies that our caregivers happily use repeatedly. Of course, you can also choose another transportation method that you prefer. The caregiver pays for the journey themselves, with the family in Germany contributing €150-200 towards it, and in Switzerland 380 CHF.
In Germany, the standard length of a work period is 4 to 6 weeks, while in Switzerland it's 2 months. In the case of temporary replacements, the periods are shorter.
The salary range in Germany is between €1200 and €2200 per month on a trade license. Compensation depends on the required language and other skills, the client's health condition, and whether care is provided for an individual or a married couple. In Switzerland, the salary ranges from 2460 to 2500 CHF per month on a Swiss employment contract.
In Germany, an intermediate to good knowledge of German is most commonly required, while some families are satisfied with basic knowledge and/or require knowledge of another language, such as Czech or Russian. Families in Switzerland require good knowledge of German, though sometimes an upper-intermediate level is sufficient.
