What to budget for
Legal floor and classification
German setup and records
Occasional or regular care
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.
Occasional or regular care
Separate one-off evenings, school pickup, holiday cover, regular weekly help, late finishes, and overnight expectations before comparing rates.
Safety and family routine
Include ages, allergies, medication, meals, bedtime, screen rules, emergency contacts, transport, references, and written handover 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.
