German setup and records
Role complexity
Legal floor and classification
Check German minimum-wage, minijob, employment, and role-specific guidance before agreeing the rate.
German setup and records
Clarify scope, payment basis, insurance assumptions, written duties, and any household or care classification before matching.
Role complexity
Hours, live-in expectations, school runs, multiple children, SEN experience, travel, language support, and household tasks change the budget.
Search and screening
Include membership, interviews, references, background checks where appropriate, paid trial time, and onboarding notes.
Planning example
Calculate scope before price
Start with duties, hours, live-in expectations, travel, and compliance checks before comparing headline rates.
Avoid one-rate comparisons
Two roles with the same title can cost very differently when responsibility, risk, availability, and records differ.
