In the beautiful setting of Horw, near Lucerne, we are looking for a reliable and experienced caregiver for a long-term collaboration. The start date is planned for early October 2025. Caregiving is intended for two elderly individuals – a gentleman born in 1928 and a lady born in 1938. They both reside together in a spacious, modern apartment with an area of 160 m², featuring a large terrace and a stunning view of the lake. The household is pet-free. The gentleman has digestive issues, moves with the aid of a cane, and uses incontinence aids. He has partial vision impairment and hearing difficulties, but mentally he is in very good condition and remains actively interested in politics and economics. The lady is physically fit, independent, requires only occasional assistance with showering, and suffers from mild memory loss (early-stage dementia). Night care is not required, only in emergencies. The main tasks of the caregiver include assistance with personal hygiene, including showering, shaving, and skincare, help with dressing, changing incontinence aids for the gentleman, accompanying to the toilet as needed, selecting appropriate clothing, and support with daily activities. Other duties include grocery and medication shopping, preparing light meals, maintaining household cleanliness, laundry, dishwashing, and occasional simple gardening tasks, such as watering flowers. The job also involves accompanying clients to the doctor, for walks, or leisure activities. The daily routine is relatively calm. They wake up around 8:00 a.m., followed by light exercise and breakfast. Lunch is served around 1:00 p.m., dinner is light, and they retire to bed around 10:30 p.m. The clients enjoy trips to the mountains or to Lucerne. Applicant requirements include communicative knowledge of the German language, with English knowledge being an advantage.

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.
