Minimum wage floor

BMAS states that the German statutory minimum wage is EUR 13.90 gross per hour from January 2026; use this as a floor where employment-like work applies.

Household work or favour

For paid household help, check whether the arrangement is a private-household minijob, self-employed service, or informal favour before setting terms.

Home and garden duties

Separate occupancy, plants, garden watering, bins, mail, heating, cleaning, and contractor access from pet sitting or specialist care duties.

Travel and stay rules

Include travel time, handover, key access, written instructions, overnight expectations, emergency contacts, and reporting frequency.

Compare like with like

A live-in stay with garden, pets, and daily home checks is not comparable to one short visit while the owner is away.

Write the scope first

Agree dates, access, guests, pets, cleaning, plants, emergency rules, insurance assumptions, and communication before discussing price.
