Kimberley M.
Kimberly makes a really impressive effort with kids. She does so many activities, library and story time, painting, playing extensively in the park and so much more. My 2 yr old’s speech accelerated quite a bit with Kimber around!
I’ve rarely seen nannies putting in so much effort rather thansimply watching over or minding kids.
She’s doing all this simultaneously with school. Which unfortunately made things difficult for both of us as we needed longer hours than she could manage with her classes.
My child loves ‘Kimmo’ and we have her over to help out any chance we get. She squeals with delight and dances around on seeing ‘Kimmo’….

Joye L.
Joye was more than family to us. She was Mama Joye to all of us. She loved both my boys dearly and I couldn’t have asked for a better nanny than her. Me and my husband were always at peace while at work knowing our little one was in safe hands and well taken care of with Mama Joye. Our little guyloved her just as much and was always happy to see her. She went above and beyond, always punctual, loving and kind. She watched our little boy since he was 4 months old….

Kim is amazing. She was our nanny for about 6 months before my daughter got into daycare.
I worked retail at the time, and she was flexible and reliable when I need to make changes. Being a single Momma it was so imperative to have someone so reliable and flexible.
I couldn’t say enough goodthings about Kim!! My daughter still lights up when she sees her Kimmy….

Private Nanny Agency – Household Staffing International
Private Nanny Jobs for Applicants & Services for Families
According to the International Nanny Association (INA), there are three different types of private nannies. The three categories of assistance that a nanny may provide are best described as:
1. Custodial care
2. Coordinated care
3. Surrogate care
Before a family decides to hire a private nanny, it can be helpful to have an understanding of the expectations that accompany each type of assistance.
Understanding a Private Nanny Job Description
Custodial Care: In the custodial care model, a private nanny’s role is limited to meeting the physical and emotional needs of children during their parents’ absence. With private nanny jobs of this type, parents manage a child’s day by providing the nanny with specific guidance. A nanny who is responsible for custodial care will not have input into a child’s scheduling or activities and does not have a voice regarding childrearing practices or parenting philosophies.
Coordinated Care: In private nanny jobs that call for coordinated care, the nanny’s role is to be a team player in raising the children. Private nannies that are responsible for a coordinated model of care are viewed as true parenting partners. When a family decides to hire a private nanny for coordinated care, the nanny has input on the type of structure and development that are present in a child’s life. Their recommendations are not only sought, but highly valued by the parents. These nannies tend to be full charge nannies that are given the freedom to make the day-to-day decisions that govern a child’s activities and outings.
Surrogate Care: In the surrogate model of private nanny care, the nanny’s role is to be the primary caregiver for the children. In this model of nanny care, the nanny may have limited interaction with her employers and may be left to make almost all decisions for the children in her care. Private nannies who engage in the surrogate model of care may work for parents who travel extensively or work in highly demanding jobs and need a guardian type of caregiver to tend to the children while they are away.
Why Your Family May Need a Nanny
Nannies for hire are valuable household staff members that often become like members of the family. Nannies specialize in caring for children and can give little ones much more personal attention than they would likely receive in a group daycare setting. In addition to basic child care services, nannies can also help busy families with handling transportation needs, straightening up the house, help with navigating childhood allergies, providing light laundry and cleaning services, and arranging educational lessons for a child’s development.
Nannies give children a sense of stability so they can grow, learn, and develop without disruptions or distracting lifestyle changes. Nannies are hired to work around a family’s schedule and be relied upon for ongoing care and service. Nanny arrangements are convenient because care takes place in the comfort of your own home so you don’t have to worry about coordinating drop-off and pick-up times. Other benefits of nannies for hire include greater flexibility for your own schedule, in-home care if children get sick, and being able to rely on a child care expert for difficult tasks like potty training.
Types of Nannies for Hire We Offer
At Household Staffing International, we offer part-time, full-time, and career nannies. Part-time nannies are a good choice if you work part-time and can be home with your kids during non-working hours. In this arrangement, a nanny would typically live off-site and come to work at your home during selected hours of the day. A part-time nanny typically works 15 to 20 hours per week but could work up to 39 hours per week before being considered a full-time household staff member. This can be a more economical option if your family is on a tight budget but still needs reliable and trustworthy child care services.
Full-time nannies for hire work about 40 hours per week but may work overtime hours in some situations too. Unlike part-time nanny arrangements, many families who hire full-time nannies also provide health and dental benefits. Meanwhile, career nannies approach the child care profession as a long-term career rather than a short-term job. Career nannies are expected to establish life-long bonds with a family and its children and also have extensive training and experience in this profession. Full-time nannies and career nannies may live in a family’s home or outside of it and commute back and forth to the home.
Basic Tasks of a Nanny
Nannies take on many different roles in a family and should be nurturing, patient, knowledgeable, persistent, and communicative. For babies, a nanny’s job will mostly revolve around feeding, diaper changing, naps, clean-up, and playtime. As children get older, nannies may be expected to provide more stimulating and educational activities for children and to also transport them to play dates and classes. A family may also ask a nanny to take on certain housekeeping responsibilities, such as doing the children’s laundry, going grocery shopping for the children’s meals, cooking meals for children.
Nannies are tasked with the responsibility of being positive role models, communicating openly with the parents, and keeping children safe at all times. Nannies for hire are also responsible for reinforcing discipline standards established by the parents, being on time for work, and keeping parents updated about their children’s days. The tasks of a nanny will likely change as children grow and the family evolves, so a nanny must be adaptable to such changes over time.

How do I know? I’m Allison, the original Pink Nanny! I was a nanny for twelve years before starting Pink Nannies® so trust me, I’ve been there, done that!

That’s why, with a lot of hard work and a dash of sparkle, I created Pink Nannies®, the premier nationwide nanny agency. For the past seventeen years, I’ve made it my mission to empower nannies and inspire darlings like you to chase your dreams while you chase our Little Ones around!

Small children require a huge amount of attention, and not always mom and dad can devote so much time to them. The desire to return to an active life, the need to go to work, the difficulty in caring for a baby, or an illness can all lead to the fact that parents need a nanny. Helpers are looking for both caring for a tiny baby and caring for an already grown child, and each family has its own requirements. But, of course, everyone wants only the best for their baby, so they strive to choose a good nanny who will be affectionate, provide the child with quality care and give him all the necessary attention.
Features of choosing a nanny
The modern job market includes many offers from women who have dedicated their careers to caring for children of all ages. This may be a professional teacher who specializes in the development of young children, a psychologist, physician or other specialist whose education is somehow related to children. But not necessarily. Babysitting services without specialized education are often cheaper. There are many more selection criteria, but remember that for each age of the child, the requirements must be different. A nanny caring for a baby and a governess helping a schoolchild are two completely different specializations with their own characteristics. But the main qualities of a good nanny are professionalism, love for children and a firm decision to connect their lives with this particular profession [1]. Only a nanny who has become such not out of necessity, but by a voluntary decision, can become a real professional.
Age . Mothers have different opinions on this. Someone thinks that as a nanny it is worth choosing an adult woman over 40 who already has her own children and experience in caring for them at any age. It is believed that such nannies are more experienced than young ones. Others believe that it will be difficult for an elderly woman to manage a baby. There is an opinion that the nanny should not be older than the mother of the child, otherwise they will not be able to form a business relationship. This really happens [2], but in reality, conflicts can occur with a nanny of any age. By itself, it is not the main criterion: you need to look at other parameters, such as character, profile work experience and life situation. The choice must be made according to a set of criteria, where age only emphasizes the rest.
Education. It is believed that a good education is necessary for a nanny. Agencies that test household staff say that educated candidates score higher in intelligence [3], but the results do not correlate with the field in which the diploma was obtained. According to this criterion, a nanny should be chosen depending on the purpose for which you hire her:
- for babies, a nanny-nurse or a woman with a medical education is often invited. Such a requirement is not surprising, because the health of the baby is what worries young parents especially strongly;
- if the child is older, the requirements for a nanny are different. She no longer needs to be able to swaddle and feed the baby, but she will have to deal with an inquisitive and active schoolchild. Parents of children of this age are often looking for nannies-educators or child psychologists.
90,060 preschool children need not only to be washed and fed – they need to be dealt with, therefore, nannies-educators and children’s teachers are in demand for this age;
Character . Experts recommend [3] to pay special attention to the nature of the nanny, how she behaves. For example, a too emotional and vulnerable person may not be able to cope with difficulties, and an overbearing one may conflict with the child. A person’s ability to work as a nanny in some agencies is determined by tests that check the candidate, including emotional stability. Parents should pay attention to:
- how the nanny behaves with children. It is important to notice if there is hidden aggression in it. A good nanny is a person who loves children, is affectionate towards them and went into this area voluntarily, and not out of need;
- on the life circumstances of the candidate. If the nanny herself has difficulties in the family, she does not like her job and is forced to take care of the children, because she cannot get a job somewhere else, she will probably cope with the child worse than a sincerely enthusiastic person.
Erudite . If we are talking about a baby, a baby up to a year old, the nanny needs only professional knowledge about caring for a baby, as well as about the characteristics of the child’s psyche. A good bonus would be the ability to properly massage a child. An erudite, versatile woman is needed if you are looking for a governess for a schoolchild or an older preschooler: these are curious, mobile children who actively explore the world and ask a lot of questions. Children who have not yet gone to school will need to be prepared for the first grade, and those who are already studying will need to be helped if necessary. A smart and erudite woman in this case is the best option. She will tell the child interesting facts about the world, will be able to find a common language with him. And if this is a competent professional with a higher education as a teacher, in addition, she will provide information in a form convenient for the child.
Knowledge of languages. The same principle works here. If the child is very small, knowing several languages does not matter: the kids do not speak yet. But for a preschooler or a younger student who is already studying, say, English, an English-speaking nanny will come in handy. True, there are nuances here:
- if the nanny is a foreigner or comes from another region, be careful how she talks. There were cases when the child took over the accent from the nanny [3], although when she came to him, the baby had not yet spoken;
- if you yourself live in another country, try to look for a native speaker of your native language – it will be easier to agree, in addition, the child will have a native language environment at home.
Babysitting schedule
There are several options for arranging a chart. It depends on how busy the parents are, whether they both work and at what time, as well as the age of the child and personal preferences. Some options will cost more, some cheaper, and sometimes the choice is made on the principle that parents are calmer.
Full day. This is a common option among those who work a full 8 hours or on a non-standard schedule. The nanny comes in the morning when the parents leave for work and takes care of the child while mom and dad are away. The rate is usually calculated for one month. The assistant comes 4 to 7 times a week, her working day lasts 8-12 hours. She has a particularly wide range of responsibilities: sometimes, for an additional fee, you can arrange with a nanny to look after both the child and the house. Among the advantages of this approach is stability: you can safely hire a professional nanny who primarily focuses on this mode of work. Among the shortcomings is distrust on the part of parents, which, however, can be reduced if you choose a nanny correctly.
Daily. This option is chosen by mothers of infants and those who periodically have to leave. For example, this is often the case for parents who work in shifts. In this case, the time and days of the nanny’s arrival are discussed in advance, she comes and leaves at the time appointed in advance. The same regime is in demand among nurses caring for the sick. The peculiarity of employment is that the nanny is at your home around the clock, which means that the cost of such assistance will be higher. Payment is also calculated daily. Sometimes 2-3 nannies are hired: they also need to sleep, and no one can work without rest for several days in a row.
Evening babysitter. Option for parents of younger students and children who go to the garden. Often, parents return from work too late to pick up the child, this is done by the nanny, who also feeds him dinner and entertains him until mom or dad arrives. The work of such a nanny involves part-time employment, so professionals rarely choose such a schedule. Among evening assistants, older women are in demand or, conversely, young women who are looking for an opportunity to earn extra money. The range of duties for such a nanny is less, respectively, the requirements for her are not so high. The main thing is a suitable character and emotional compatibility with the child.
Nanny with accommodation . One of the more difficult options: an assistant lives with you around the clock, she is provided with a bed or room. Owners of private houses sometimes settle a nanny in a guest house. The list of her duties is much higher, in addition, she watches over the child all the time that she lives with you, but this option has a number of pitfalls for parents:
- the need to get along with another person;
- high cost of babysitting. Remember that in addition to paying for her work, you will need to feed her and pay for her living.
But the assistant is constantly in your sight, and you can quickly figure out what kind of person she is. The choice of such a nanny should be approached especially responsibly: for some time, she, in fact, will become a member of your family. Remember that she will also need days off – 1 or 2 days a week.
What is included in the duties of a nanny
The range of duties is individual in each case. It is discussed by the parents together with the candidate: both they and she have their own requirements. As a rule, the nanny looks after the child, cares for him, washes, feeds and puts him to bed. Sometimes the to-do list includes games with the baby, including educational ones, or some kind of activity. A medical nanny can also give massages or help the child in case of health problems. A governess with a pedagogical education is able to help with studies or prepare for future classes. Each of these nuances is best discussed in advance. Experts advise: before looking for a nanny, make a complete list of the activities that you need from her [2]. Sometimes it turns out that a better option is, for example, an au pair.
Where to look for a professional babysitter
It is not easy to find a professional in any field, this also applies to nannies caring for children. Of course, you should not invite the first candidate that comes across, it is better to talk to several, decide which suits you more, and only then make a choice. Remember about payment: the salary of a specialist directly depends on her experience and qualifications, so a truly professional nanny may not be cheap.
Through the newspaper. Some are still posting ads in the press about looking for an assistant. This is especially true for those who are looking for elderly nannies: it may still be unusual for them to view ads via the Internet. The problem is that the response from such an announcement will be quite low, as fewer people use paper editions every month, and many of them go online.
Via Internet . Instead of a newspaper, you can use Internet sites with ads, portals where employers and performers are looking for each other. This option is not always reliable, since a freelance nanny cannot be verified, but you can chat with her and thus understand how suitable she is for you. Features of interaction, duties and payment are determined in a personal conversation, you can even agree on non-standard conditions.
Through an agency. Professional recruitment agencies are engaged in the selection of nannies for parents. Usually these are large, detailed sites where you can get acquainted with possible candidates, view reviews about them, read about their qualifications. Some portals even provide information about the approximate place of residence of the nanny. This is a reliable option: the agency helps clients choose a nanny, even taking into account psychological compatibility with the parent. True, the cost of the services of such companies can be quite high.
As recommended. If someone you know had a positive experience with a nanny, you can ask them a question. Perhaps the specialist with whom they worked will be able to help you, or at least advise another, no less good nanny.
There is nothing wrong with hiring a childcare assistant. This is a way to make life a little easier for yourself, to return to work and to an active life. The main thing is to choose an assistant with whom you will be comfortable, convenient and calm, and your child will be full, happy and calm. Remember: the main thing in a nanny is professionalism.

How to choose the right nanny for your child
Choosing a nanny for a child is a difficult and responsible task. This is the person with whom your child is left alone, who communicates with your child, cares for him and educates him. Therefore, it is very important not to make a mistake with the choice. How should you choose the right nanny, what are they like, what should you pay attention to when choosing?
Contents
Types of nannies
Child psychologists and parents have long divided all nannies into several conditional types. This division helps parents to understand what kind of nanny they need to look after the child. Moreover, a nanny for a baby and a 5-year-old baby in many ways differ from one another. Not every nanny is able to look after both the baby and the five-year-old fidget with equal success. So, about types:
- Nanny with medical education (doctor or nurse). Medical education is a very valuable quality. Especially when it comes to breastfeeding. The medical nanny is well versed in issues such as sterility, childhood illnesses and their symptoms, proper care for the baby, and feeding. They are especially careful, in the event of a baby’s illness, they can provide him with competent primary care, give him a massage, etc. Practice shows that medical nannies do not refuse to be with the baby not only during the day, but also at night. The main disadvantage of this category of nannies is that they take care of the child more than they bring it up. In the case of a baby, this is quite acceptable, but when he grows up, parents will most likely have to think about finding another nanny;
- Arina Rodionovna. So it is customary to call older women, most often pensioners. Such nannies have many advantages. They raised their own children, they most likely have grandchildren. Therefore, they do not have experience in dealing with children. Usually they are extremely patient with the baby, they can tidy up the room and feed the child deliciously. “Arina Rodionovna” like to take long walks with children, take them to zoos, museums and other places that are useful for the child. They willingly read books to the child and patiently answer the endless children’s “why”. Old nannies usually have plenty of free time, and therefore they can work all day and even overtime. Their main drawback is the upbringing and treatment of the child “in the old fashioned way”, as well as the desire to educate not only the baby, but also his parents. Another disadvantage is that it is usually difficult for the “nanny-grandmother” to help the child with the lessons;
- Students. They are also called “babysitters for an hour.” They are young, and therefore they do not have the proper experience in caring for children. Usually they have little free time, as they devote most of the day to study. Therefore, student nannies work on a case-by-case basis, regarding caring for someone else’s baby as an occasional part-time job. Hence the corresponding attitude to work. Usually such nannies are hired when there are no other options;
- Professional nanny. This is usually a middle-aged woman who has worked as a nanny for many years. This is her main profession. She has a lot of experience, she has worked with many children, she can provide references from families where she used to work. She knows how to find contacts with almost any child, as well as with his parents. A professional nanny can equally successfully communicate with children of any age – from infants to primary school students. She knows how to swaddle a baby, how to feed him or help him with an illness. A professional nanny can accompany the child when he travels long distances with his parents – for example, on vacation or abroad. With it, you can fearlessly leave the child for a long time. A professional nanny is the best parenting choice.
[sc name=”rsa” ]
When choosing a nanny, you should consider how long you need it. If for several hours a day or 1-2 times a week, then a professional nanny is unlikely to agree to this. In this case, it is better to look for an old woman or a student.
Working hours
Babysitters can work according to different schedules. In this sense they are subdivided:
- Full-time nannies. Such nannies work from morning to evening. That is, until the child’s parents come home from work. Throughout the day, the nanny is with the child, feeds him, walks with him, puts him to bed, is engaged in training;
- Evening nannies. As the definition implies, they work in the evenings. Evening nannies meet the child from school or pick him up from kindergarten, prepare dinner for the baby, feed him, put him to bed. Their working time ends when their parents come home;
- Live-in nannies. They usually live for the whole week with the family that hired them to take care of the baby. In accordance with the agreement, the nanny with accommodation is provided with one or two days off. It happens that she is given a separate room. In other cases, she sleeps in the same room with the baby. In addition to caring for a child, a live-in nanny can also perform other duties: help with the housework, prepare food for the baby and his parents;
- Daily nannies. Daily nannies are usually needed in cases where a child needs round-the-clock supervision. Usually these are babies or sick children. For the most part, daily nannies work in shifts – day after day.
A separate category is accompanying nannies. They are usually hired when a mother with a baby (or several children) has to travel long distances. The duties of an accompanying nanny include taking care of the children during the trip, as well as looking after the kids in a new place until returning back.
Responsibilities of a nanny
Before you start looking for a nanny, you need to decide what your responsibilities will be. It is clear that not all cases of child care can be imputed to the nanny as a duty. She doesn’t know how to do something, she doesn’t want to do something for one reason or another. And in something else – no nanny, even the most qualified, can replace a mother: for example, in breastfeeding a baby. Therefore, first of all, you need to determine the list of the most important responsibilities, and solve all other nuances as they arise.
So, the nanny should:
- Take full care of the baby;
- Keep him safe;
- Bathe the baby and fulfill other hygiene requirements;
- Observe the daily routine: put the child to bed on time, walk with him;
- Cook and feed baby;
- Monitor the sanitary order in the children’s room;
- Accompany him when visiting circles, sports sections;
- Visit exhibitions, museums, attractions with him;
- Know the characteristics of the age development of the child and apply their knowledge in practice;
- Help the child (if he is a preschooler) to prepare for school;
- Help a pupil-schoolboy in the performance of lessons.
This is only an approximate and far from complete list of babysitting duties. Any other responsibilities are negotiated with the parents additionally, as soon as the need arises.

Additional requirements
Many parents try to find a nanny for their child exclusively with pedagogical education. Indeed, there are many advantages in a nanny-teacher. She knows the methods of child development, she can understand music, be able to draw, know foreign languages, etc. She will teach the baby all this, as a result of which he will grow up as a fully developed personality. In addition, the nanny-teacher will be able to prepare the baby for school, and in the future help him with the lessons.
All these are the advantages associated with a nanny with a pedagogical education. However, there are also disadvantages here. Currently, some teachers (as well as psychologists) are trained in Western models of raising children, which in many respects do not coincide with our ideas and worldview. For example, many teachers now believe that a child should not be limited in anything, everything must be allowed to him, otherwise he will grow up as a complex and inferior personality. Therefore, before hiring a teacher-teacher, you should carefully understand his worldview and methods of education.
Nanny with no teaching background. There are many more such nannies than those with a teaching diploma. They can be young girls, or they can be older women. They usually do not have any parenting methods of their own, and therefore it is much easier for them to explain the parent’s point of view on raising a baby. The only significant disadvantage is that it will most likely be more difficult for a nanny without a pedagogical education to prepare a child for school.
A woman with children of her own. The main advantages of such nannies are their worldly experience and the ability to communicate with children. They will look after the child properly, feed him properly and on time, answer all his questions, etc. At the same time, some nannies from this category may not listen to the wishes of the baby’s parents, explaining that they are better know how to raise a child.
However, all the listed nuances are quite solvable. Another thing is much more important – what kind of nanny is a person. If she has a bad temper, bad habits, a limited outlook and an inappropriate vocabulary, then it is better to refuse her services. The reasons for the refusal are quite understandable: communicating with a dubious nanny, your child, voluntarily or involuntarily, will pick up from her those human qualities that she possesses.

How to look for a nanny
- The first and most common way is to advertise in newspapers or on the Internet. There is, in fact, only one plus here: this search method does not require large expenses, but there are plenty of minuses. Among those who submitted an advertisement, there may be former nannies who were expelled from their former places for serious misconduct, as well as nannies with no experience. Another category is the so-called “lovers of other people’s husbands” or thieves who are looking for ways to infiltrate someone else’s house in order to then rob it. Therefore, it is more reasonable to hold the first meeting with such applicants not at home, but somewhere on neutral territory.
- Method two – search through recruitment agencies. There are many more advantages here: agencies can offer you an impressive list of candidates for every taste, along with characteristics, recommendations, and medical certificates. But, at the same time, there are also enough disadvantages: you have to pay for the services of the agency, many candidates are nannies only from their own words, some may have false documents. In addition, one should not trust indiscriminately the recruitment agencies themselves. There were cases when some agencies deliberately deceived clients, trying to bring them together not with professionals in their field, but with random people.
- The surest way to find a nanny is the recommendation of your acquaintances, colleagues, friends, relatives. Usually, none of them will recommend a bad candidate. You will know almost everything about such a nanny: her habits, abilities, marital status, place of residence, work experience. There is only one significant minus here: if for some reason you refuse her, then by doing so you risk ruining relations with those who recommended her.
How to meet a babysitter
[sc name=”ads” ]
When meeting a nanny, you should carefully look at all the little things. This is understandable: it is to her that you entrust the most precious thing that you have – your child. First of all, you need to pay attention to the appearance of a candidate for a nanny for your baby. If she looks untidy, this is a good reason to refuse her.
After a visual acquaintance, it is recommended to ask the candidate a few questions of a general nature. These can be questions on a variety of topics: does she know how to cook, what dishes are best for her, does she like to walk, can she take the child to the section or clinic, what were her duties in the same place, how did she get along with the child there and his parents, etc. Do not hesitate to ask her for a passport and medical certificates. You should also carefully read the letters of recommendation and call the numbers that are indicated in them.
If the meeting is at your home, it is wise to invite other members of your family, as well as the child. Conclusions about what a candidate is like should be drawn from her very first step in your home. Did she come on time, did she say hello to you and the child, how sincere is she in conversation, etc. When she leaves, you need to develop a generalized opinion and decide together whether this candidacy as a nanny is right for your baby.
After general questions, it is necessary to get to know the future nanny better by asking her more specific questions.
1) Questions about your previous job:
- What duties did you have in your previous job?
- Why didn’t you work there?
- How easily do you adapt in a new family?
- How long does it take for children to get used to you?
- What do you dislike doing as a nanny?
2) Personal questions:
- How old are you?
- Do you have an education?
- What is your marital status?
- Do you have children and what is their age?
- If the children are minors, who will stay with them while you are at work?
- Do you have any hobbies, and which ones?
- Are you a believer, and what religion do you profess?
- How do you spend your free time and what is your social circle?
3) Health questions:
- Do you have any chronic diseases?
- Can you lift a child in your arms?
- Do you have bad habits?
- How long have you had a fluorography?
- Do you agree to undergo an additional medical examination?
4) Discussing future responsibilities:
- Can you stay if necessary?
- Do you agree to work on weekends?
- Do you agree to accompany the child in case of his departure together with his parents to the country house, to another city, to another country?
5) Discussion of payment terms:
- What salary do you expect?
- How do you want to be paid – every day, once a week, monthly?
- How do you feel about fines for absenteeism or being late?
6) Discussion of emergency behavior:
- What are you going to do if the child is choking, fainting, crying and acting up, acting inappropriately, ill (the list of situations goes on)?
7) Questions with background:
- What games can be played with a child at a particular age?
- What are the reasons why babies cry?
- What do you do if your child makes you angry?
- What is the most important thing for you when caring for a baby and communicating with him?
And, of course, one should not discount one’s own maternal intuition. It is she who should be the decisive condition for whether to accept this or that candidate as a nanny or refuse her.

How to introduce a nanny to a child
So, the future nanny made a positive impression on you. However, this is not a reason to immediately hire her. You need to make sure how your child will react to the candidate. This should be the last argument in your decision about whether or not your child needs such a nanny.
Watch your child’s reaction carefully. If he has a sociable character, then after what time will he try to get to know the nanny better? If, on the contrary, the baby is uncommunicative, then how will the nanny behave in this case in order to win him over? If at first the child is afraid of the nanny, but thanks to her efforts, then he nevertheless begins to show interest in her, then this is an absolute plus for the nanny.
You don’t have to leave your baby with a nanny for a long time at the very beginning. It would be wiser if the child gets used to it gradually. At the same time, the baby should try to explain that the nanny is a very good aunt who will teach him to play, draw, walk with him, ride the carousel, etc. Having believed in your explanations, the child will be able to quickly get used to her. And the last condition: when hiring a nanny, it is necessary to conclude an official employment contract with her.
How to control babysitting
There should be no objection to the fact that the babysitter’s work must be supervised. The question is how to do it right. First, inept control is difficult to achieve any specific results. Secondly, in this way you can offend the nanny.
The main method of control is careful observation of the child. If he sleeps restlessly at night, is not happy with the nanny or is afraid of her, then this is already an occasion to think and strengthen observations. If the baby, as soon as he sees you, starts crying and tries to run away from the nanny, then this is another reason for parental thoughtfulness. Additional reasons may also be that for a long time your baby has not learned anything new, he has incomprehensible bruises and scratches, the nanny behaves ingratiatingly in front of you, etc. With the regular appearance of such signs, it is better to part with the nanny.
Your unexpected coming home can bring good results. Or – the same unexpected appearance in the house of your friends and relatives. It is also good to talk to neighbors from time to time, who can see exactly how the nanny communicates with your child. Some parents even hire private detectives for such purposes.
There is another proven way to determine how good or bad your baby’s nanny is. A good nanny is one in which the baby returns from a walk dirty, but at home he is always clean and washed. Everything is simple here. When a child walks fully, he usually always gets dirty. A fully-fledged child can walk only when he feels comfortable with the nanny.
Recently, the work of nannies is monitored more and more often with the help of video cameras. This is perhaps the most effective form of control. In the press and on TV, it is often reported that it was thanks to video cameras that it was possible to expose fanatics under the guise of nannies. It is better if video cameras are installed in several places. It is clear that the nanny herself should not know anything about video surveillance.
Don’t be jealous of your baby
Baby gets used to a good babysitter quickly. It happens that he starts calling her “mom”. Often this leads to the fact that real mothers begin to be jealous of the child for the nanny. And for this reason, she was fired. Thus, such mothers make a big mistake.
In this case, the feelings and psychology of the child are not taken into account. Being attached to someone is very important to him. And when the nanny to whom the baby managed to become attached disappears from his life, and a new one appears instead, this can cause serious stress for the baby. There is no need to be jealous of the child and be afraid that the nanny can really replace a real mother. If the nanny is a professional, and also a wonderful person, then she will always find a way to explain to your baby that the real mother is you, and no one else.

Caucasian Knot | Video of rough handling of a child in the Makhachkala kind of kindergarten outraged users of social networks
This message (material) was created and (or) widespread by a foreign media that performs the functions of a foreign agent, and (or) a Russian legal entity that performs the functions of a foreign agent.
Video footage of a kindergarten teacher rudely treating a child caused outrage among social media users in Dagestan. The child is autistic, his parents filed a complaint with the police, the press secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic said.
The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in January 2021, the Derbent City Court found a local resident guilty of torturing and killing a three-year-old girl and sentenced her to 8 years in a strict regime colony.
On December 3, 2019, a woman was detained in Derbent, who was looking after a three-year-old girl while her mother was away. The nanny was suspected of unintentional murder of the girl. According to the woman, she saw how the girl climbed onto the kitchen cabinet for sweets, hit her on the legs, causing her to fall, hit hard and died on the spot. Many Instagram users condemned the nanny. In their opinion, it was even necessary to talk to the child only after she got off the closet. But some users agreed that there was an accident. In August 2020, the nanny was charged with torturing and killing a child.
A video from a kindergarten in Makhachkala, showing how one teacher rudely treats a child, and the second employee of the kindergarten, ignoring this, vacuums the floor, Gayana Garieva, press secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan, published on her Telegram channel on September 17. “A disabled child, he is 5 years old, he is autistic. He does not speak and cannot talk about what is happening to him. In May, he was assigned to a private inclusive kindergarten in Makhachkala, where all the children are “special”. well, but a month before … mother began to notice a strong neurosis in the baby: he began to beat himself, bite his nails until he bled, pee (only in the garden), flatly refused to go to kindergarten. On August 24, mother came early and found him crying , with a trace of a slap on her face. Having requested recordings from the cameras, she saw what we see. The teacher admitted that this was repeated more than once. She was fired, a statement was written, “Gariyeva commented on the video.
According to her, the staff of the kindergarten and some parents consider the dismissal a misunderstanding and demand the return of the dismissed employee. “But what about Article 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Torture” (obviously a minor)?” – added the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In the comments, she said that “the case was initiated”, but the dismissed employee of the kindergarten “wrote a counter-application against the mother of the child regarding the publication of a video with her participation.”

“Doesn’t this video material give grounds to initiate a criminal case?

The management of the children’s institution also promised to connect “online video surveillance” to prevent such incidents.

Not Saint Diana: 7 fatal mistakes of the Princess of Wales
Accepted the proposal of Prince Charles
Now it seems incredible: if Diana had not married Charles in 1981, the world would never have known about her existence. It is unlikely that a shy ordinary girl who failed her final exams twice at school and barely pulled out one semester in college could achieve the sky-high popularity and adoration that she had in the status of the crown prince’s wife. Contrary to popular belief, Diana was not rich before her marriage. Under British law, peerage titles (including the title of Earl Spencer), along with all movable and immovable property, are transferred exclusively through the male line. Diana had a younger brother, Charles, and two older sisters. The boy inherited everything, the sisters married quite well. As for the future princess, her fate could be very modest.

– in the apartment that she was given for her 18th birthday. And since the girl did not have a special education, she took on any job, however, she didn’t stay anywhere for a long time: she cleaned for money from her older sister and some of her friends, helped organize parties, worked as a dance instructor for teenagers, a nanny for expats from the USA by last name Robertson, a teacher’s assistant at Young England School and a kindergarten teacher’s assistant. This is the track record that Lady Diana Spencer had by the time they began to actively push her towards the Prince of Wales.
One of the official photo shoots of Diana and Charles after the announcement of their engagement, spring 1981.
The situation developed almost like in a classic Jane Austen novel: the girl was in the right place at the right time over and over again. All she had to do was catch the eye of Prince Charles (whom the Court was actively looking for a bride) and at least say something. Given the proximity of Diana’s grandmother to the Queen Mother, as well as the proximity of the Spencer family estate and the royal residence in Norfolk, this was easy to arrange. Charles paid tribute to Diana’s modesty and sensitivity, but, of course, he did not plan to develop a relationship, much less marry her. However, the information that the prince allegedly found himself a new girlfriend, with someone’s light hand, turned out to be the property of journalists. Diana and Charles’ relationship has been the subject of press speculation.

Prince Consort Philip decided to put an end to this matter. Since live human communication between father and son was not honored by the Duke of Edinburgh, he wrote a stern letter to the eldest heir, in which he demanded that the good name of the girl be protected, as befits a man. Prince Charles, according to his aunt, Philip’s cousin, Pamela Hicks, took this as an order: he proposed to Diana, which Lady Spencer, who had known the prince for only a few months and had nothing to do with him, accepted without hesitation. In an interview on the occasion of the official announcement of the engagement, Charles said that he was genuinely amazed that “Diana was ready to rely on him.” But the sarcasm of these words became obvious and understandable only after many years.
One of the official photos after the announcement of the engagement, spring 1981. An interesting detail: Diana was the same height as Charles and in many staged photographs she was put lower, or even offered to sit down, but not in this case.
Overestimated herself and underestimated Camilla
It is not customary in the Windsor family to cry even at the funeral of the closest people. And even more so at a wedding. Even if this wedding means the collapse of all your dreams of a happy life with the one you really love. Charles wept his tears for Camilla Parker Bowles on the eve of the Wedding of the Century. By that time, their love affair with obstacles had already lasted 9 years.years. What, of course, Diana also knew, for the last two years she lived not in a remote village, but in London, where this kind of information always made it to the front pages of newspapers. What did the 19-year-old precocious bride expect, whose total experience of acquaintance with her future spouse was less than a year, and communication even less? How was she going to outshine Camilla? ( read also : Princess Diana: “On the eve of the wedding, I said that I could not marry Charles”).
Rivals: Diana and Camilla met before the wedding (spring 1981 g).
Royal wedding of the century, August 1, 1981
“The honeymoon turned out to be a great opportunity to sleep” – a phrase from a letter Diana wrote to her lady-in-waiting on August 15, 1981, 2 weeks after the magnificent royal wedding ( read also : Princess Diana: “I cut my veins already during the honeymoon”). That is, as soon as she became the legal wife of a 33-year-old man who had a love affair with a temperamental and experienced rival in love affairs for 9 years, Diana did not find anything better than to sleep through her honeymoon with a feeling of deep satisfaction. One can easily imagine how Charles missed Camille at that time.
Charles and Diana go on honeymoon, August 1981.
There was an intellectual and spiritual gulf between Charles and Diana. Almost 13 years of age difference had to be compensated with at least something, but she decided that it was he, Charles, who should take the trouble to “descend” to her level of development, and not she “raise” to the level of her husband. She was not interested in the Prince of Wales’ hobbies, did not try to befriend his friends, criticized his habits and mocked his piety. They literally had nothing to talk about with each other, and Diana did not know how to listen to Charles the way Camilla did.
Charles and Camilla (probably late 70s).
Remarkable fact: Lady Dee’s favorite books were romance novels by Barbara Cartland. Even before her marriage, she read the book “The King’s Bride”, admitting that all her girlish dreams were embodied in her. In 1993, the writer herself will say: “Diana read only books written by me. Whatever you say, it’s not the best choice.” American Mary Robertson, for whom Diana Spencer worked as a nanny shortly before the engagement, also recalled that she was extremely surprised by the girl’s limited literary predilections and even advised her to start reading The Times and the Daily Telegraph in order to be able to maintain conversations with Charles.
Diana’s favorite book, in which, according to her, all her dreams were described.
The reality in which Diana was the wife of the future king turned out to be much more prosaic.
After it became obvious that Charles was bored in her presence, Diana made another strategic mistake (which is excusable for a girl of her age, but, alas, does not change the ending): she began to be jealous of her husband for his former mistress. This greatly “grounded” Diana in the eyes of Charles. And she, not realizing this, came up with more and more reasons for jealousy and new insulting nicknames for Camilla. One of them even remained in history – “Rottweiler”. According to Diana, Camille grabbed Charles in a stranglehold, as does a dog of this guard breed. It seems that the “Queen of Hearts” until the end of her life could not understand what she was losing all the time to her “older” and less attractive rival.
Allowed herself to be hysterical
Numerous memories of Diana and her own confessions, made in an interview with the BBC in 1995, clearly indicate that Lady Dee had a hysterical personality type. For the first time, this manifested itself in all its glory when, being 3 months pregnant (and Diana became pregnant almost immediately after the wedding), she staged a fall from the stairs. Of course, everything ended well, and Charles, frightened to death, blew dust particles off Diana for the rest of Diana’s pregnancy.
Pregnant (approximately 6th month) Diana and Charles at the Cheltenham Races, 17 March 1982 inflict bodily harm on yourself. True, it was precisely that they were “demonstrative”, and not those that could really somehow harm her appearance. In an interview with the BBC, the Princess of Wales stated that she was perhaps “the first in the Royal Family to ever experience depression, or at least the first to allow herself to show it openly.” Such regular “openness” repulsed Charles and his family from her.

In addition to depression, Diana suffered from occasional eating disorders. She herself admitted that at the beginning of the marriage she suffered from bulimia for more than four years, which was associated with dissatisfaction with her figure and with nervous strain due to life changes that had fallen on her. Uncontrolled overeating, after which the princess went to the restroom in order to induce vomiting, also did not add romance to the marital relationship. Diana was sent for treatment more than once, however, as you know, this did not lead to anything, since the true problem lay in the self-centered nature of the young woman, in her insatiable thirst for the attention of others to her person and, most importantly, in her unwillingness to work on herself. In a country where the system of private psychotherapists and psychoanalysts was already well developed, Diana chose to reflect, feel sorry for herself and blackmail those around her with her antics. This at first frightened and upset Charles and Elizabeth, then the shock was replaced by irritation and alienation. K 19In 85, the princess managed to completely distance herself from her husband. Charles thought of Camille, and Diana of the red-haired riding instructor.

Cheating on the future King
England, which is proud of its history, still remembers the times when cheating on her husband-king was equated with treason. Of course, modern Windsors have gone far from chopping heads for the adultery of their spouses, and Charles is not yet a monarch. But in the royal family, the taboo against female infidelity is written at the DNA level. Even if the husband himself indulges in all serious things, the wife must remain a saint. Diana could not help but know how her affairs would turn out, given the status of the wife and mother of the heirs of the British monarchy. But she seemed to prefer not to think about it. As well as the fact that the status of her lovers (grooms, drivers, officers) further humiliates both Charles and herself.
Diana’s most controversial lover, James Hewitt would later make money by co-authoring a book in which he revealed more than he should have about his relationship with the Princess of Wales. It is he who is often called the real father of Prince Harry.
Diana with her butler, Paul Burrell, who spoke only after Lady Di’s death. Being gay, he sympathized with Diana, was her eyes, reported to her about Charles and Camille and secretly brought lovers to her.
Biographers of the Princess of Wales counted 5 official and 6-8 unofficial lovers with whom Diana had relations before and after her divorce from Charles. Most of all for these novels went to Prince Harry, whom journalists declared a by-product of his mother’s love, as soon as it became known about her many years of adultery with a red-haired officer and riding instructor James Hewitt. And after the memoirs of Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell, who claimed that Diana preferred not to protect herself during her secret meetings with men, these rumors became completely unbearable. A simple DNA test could stop them, but the royal court would never go for such a procedure. Perhaps not least because the DNA of Charles and Harry may indeed not match, and in this case, no one knows what to do next. Luckily for Prince Harry, thanks to older brother William and his wife Kate, he has already moved far enough away from the throne that only historians and those who like to delve into someone else’s dirty linen worry about his true origin. According to another unofficial version, a DNA test has long been secretly done, and the relationship between Harry and Charles has been proven.
Who is more like Prince Harry (center)? On James Hewitt (left) or the Prince of Wales (right)? Similar photo comparisons in the press are still not uncommon. Like it or not, but between Harry and Charles there is little similarity, and this could not but give rise to questions. Whether Charles himself knows the answers to them is unknown.
Stirred up the interest of the press
TV journalist Martin Bashir during the famous scandalous interview reminded Diana that she was often accused of artificially inflating interest in her person, shocking the press in the first years of marriage with Charles. For example, she performed almost in a negligee on the stage of Covent Garden, paired with the famous ballet dancer Wayne Sleep. The number was a “gift” to Prince Charles for his birthday. However, in fact, Diana drew all the attention that the birthday man was supposed to enjoy.

The press was as impressed by Diana’s performance as the royal family (if not more, judging by the headlines).
The second time it happened at a reception at the White House, where she danced rock and roll with John Travolta – improvisation caused real hysteria among journalists and ordinary people, and Diana again outshone both her husband and the Reagan couple who were hosting them. Before her appearance in the royal family, her other members, including young people, never caused such a stir, but, by the way, they behaved much less emotionally. Even the rebellious Princess Margaret seemed to have had less of a problem. Diana has always denied the fact that she plays for the audience, but in reality she was flattered that she was able to become the first “celebrity” in the royal family. A previously inconspicuous girl with very modest tastes suddenly turned into the wife of the crown prince and received unlimited access to the fashion collections of the best fashion designers in the world, and at the same time to the caskets with the family jewels of Elizabeth II. Fashion has become another of her passions. Who else among the royals could afford to wear red tights to a formal event? Diana could. And it also went to the front pages of newspapers.
Diana’s famous dance with John Travolta, White House, 1985.
The unhealthy interest of the press was fueled by Diana’s talkative friends, whom (and most importantly) the princess herself allowed to talk about her difficult life in Kensington Palace. In the same 1995 interview, Lady Dee acknowledged that her friends had contacted biographer Andrew Morton with her personal permission. The result of that communication was the infamous book “Diana. Her true story”, published at 1992 year. Just as provocative and exciting for all hunters for “fried” was Diana’s frank interview for the BBC TV channel.
1992
Gave a scandalous interview
November 24, 1995 Diana gave an interview to the BBC. An hour-long conversation with the host of the Panorama program, Martin Bashir, had the effect of an exploding bomb. Diana honestly spoke about the problems that accompanied all 15 years of her marriage to Charles, admitted to bulimia, and to several suicide attempts, and even to her own infidelities, which (and this was seen between the lines) were the result of Charles’s infidelities. Diana was convinced that since she and Charles had parted, she had become a “problem” for his entourage, and then she called them “enemies” who set out to make her life difficult, denigrate her and give trump cards to the Prince of Wales in case divorce. “Do you think you’ll ever be Queen?” – “Not. I don’t think… I would rather be the queen of people’s hearts… I don’t see myself as the queen of this country. I don’t think many people in this country would like me to be Queen. When I say “many”, I mean the establishment to which I belong … “.
Diana interviewed for the BBC, 24 November 1995
Against the background of all that was said about her husband and the royal family, it was strange to hear at the end of the program that Diana did not want to divorce Charles. However, at the end of the broadcast of the program, it was no longer in her power. After such a public removal of rubbish from the hut, there was no point in keeping the broken family boat afloat, at least the Queen did not see him. After a short time, Diana was called to Elizabeth II for an appointment and the issue of divorce was resolved. By the way, this is how Diana got her fortune – 17 million English pounds at a time and another 700 thousand pounds of annual allowance for the maintenance of servants and that part of Kensington Palace in which she was allowed to stay as the mother of the heirs to the Crown.
Diana with her children, summer 1995.
According to Diana’s butler, Paul Burrell, she doubted until the last moment that she had done the right thing by agreeing to this interview. True, there is another theory. Diana could not help but understand that divorce would sooner or later become inevitable, and she wanted to tell people her version of why their marriage was ruined. It was the revenge of a tired woman on her husband and his family. But the consequences of these revelations were more serious than she expected. Diana was turned away by her sister and brother, who were close to members of the royal family, she was sharply condemned by her own grandmother and mother, and, finally, many doors that she had recently entered without problems stopped opening in front of her. Few were ready for the love of the “Queen of Hearts” to lose the favor of the real Queen. And if it seemed to Diana that her life became more complicated after she and Charles parted ways, then after the ill-fated broadcast it became her objective reality.
During the last years of their marriage, Diana and Charles struggled to hide their family problems even in public. 1991
She was going to marry a Muslim
Even before the official divorce, Diana had an affair with a Pakistani-born surgeon Hasnat Khan. According to friends and butler Paul Burrell, who organized their love meetings at Kensington Palace, Diana was so passionate that she seriously talked about the possibility for her to change her faith for a successful marriage. However, Hasnat felt that the princess was too in love with her star status and social life. The offer never came, but when the next Muslim lover appeared on Diana’s personal front, the Royal House tensed.
Pakistani Hasnat Khan was a serious hobby for Diana, for the sake of marriage with him she was ready to accept Islam, but the proposal did not follow. Hasnat ran away from the princess in love, from whose attention he became stuffy.
Dodi al-Fayed could have become Diana’s next husband, at least he led her to this quite confidently, showering her with gifts and organizing her leisure activities to the highest standard. Diana even feared that the Egyptian would think that he could buy it.
It was obvious that after the official divorce, Diana was nervous about her status and was actively searching. Dodi al-Fayed was not the man of her dreams, but behind him were his father’s billions and the opportunity to continue to live the lifestyle of “celebrity” that she was used to and lost through the efforts of the Queen. The fact that Diana was not in love, but considered Dodi as a possible candidate for the next husbands, is also said by her friends. Summer 19In 97, Diana took both sons with her in order to spend holidays with them on the Cote d’Azur. And then in the press there were pictures of the heirs of the British Crown in the company of Diana and her Muslim lover. Diana not only introduced the children to the potential “new dad”, but allowed them to communicate closely. The fact that such contacts could compromise the boys, Diana, obviously, did not even think. She was determined to arrange her personal life and, it seems, once again forgot that she ceased to be an “ordinary woman” at the moment when she became the mother of the heirs of the Crown, and even a divorce from Charles could not change anything here.

Elizabeth and the Court were in a panic: given the impact on their sons, an unbalanced shocking mother had, what would have happened if Diana had accepted the Muslim faith (which she herself admitted as a victim for a successful marriage? What would happen if William and Harry had Muslim siblings? And this is not a question of tolerance towards people of other religions, it is a matter of life and death for the monarchy, one of the pillars of which is Protestantism. Summer 19In 1997, it became clear that Diana, in pursuit of a device for her personal life, was becoming dangerous for her own children. Princes William and Harry were destined for a different fate, and there was no way they could become the stepsons of a Muslim billionaire.

Whether Diana’s death was a planned action or a tragic coincidence, her death, of course, was a great relief for the Royal Court. The eccentric, unstable, rushing from one extreme to another, playing for the audience, the princess turned out to be a black sheep in their herd. And it is not known how else her story could have ended if it had not ended in that Parisian tunnel.

Work in Germany: vacancies from 2500€ from the employer
What are the features of working in Germany for foreigners?
Germany, as one of the most developed countries in Europe, annually attracts many migrants for labor migration. It provides an opportunity not only to earn money, but also to move permanently to Berlin or another major German city. In a month, you can earn up to 5 thousand euros and at the same time with acceptable working conditions.
In Germany, on average, they work five days, while in Poland, for comparison, almost all migrants work with 1 day off per week. There is an option for part-time or part-time employment. From 2020, jobs in Germany can be obtained in a simplified mode. To conclude a contract, it is enough to have an education.
With the updating of legislation regarding labor migration, the influx of foreigners has increased. Demand creates supply, and in 2022 work in Germany has its own trends in demand.
The most popular offers:
- unskilled workers, workers without experience;
- employees of cleaning companies;
- seasonal workers picking fruits and vegetables;
- packers and sorters;
- home workers – nannies, nurses and housekeepers.
Special attention is paid to vacancies in certain specialties, such as doctors or engineers. Experience in similar areas is a big advantage. For a specialist who wants to officially find a job in Germany, documented qualifications are needed.
Among the significant advantages of employment in Germany is the fact that employers often provide free or cheap accommodation. The country has a high standard of living, and therefore food prices are affordable. Expenses do not significantly cut all income.
When looking for a job in Germany, you need to pay special attention to the preparation of documents. To sign a contract with an employer, you need a work permit and a visa.
What do German employers require?
Each profession has its own requirements. So a handyman needs to meet several criteria, such as being between 20 and 35 years old, and having good health and physical fitness. The absence of bad habits and discipline will be a great advantage for any kind of activity in Germany. Handyman experience is preferred but not required.
Long-term jobs in Germany for couples are in no less demand. The best option would be employment on plantations or farmlands. Among the requirements for a couple are good adaptability, discipline, diligence and an age of up to 50 years. Experience is welcome. It is important for spouses that they can live together and spend their leisure time together. In some cases, the couple is settled in different places, so all conditions must be negotiated in advance.
If work in Germany is a priority for women or men, it is important to remember that it has its own specifics. Employers usually stipulate in advance how and when certain duties must be performed. The highest requirements for vacancies:
- engineer;
- medical worker;
- social worker;
- IT specialist.
Well paid work abroad in Germany assumes knowledge of German or English. Any education must be confirmed by certificates or diplomas.
How to find a job in Germany?
To find a job in Germany, you need to start small by researching information on the Internet. Special sites are full of current vacancies. In Germany, employers often do their own recruiting. Mediation occurs, but not as often.
If you want to find a suitable job in Germany on your own, you can use the official Job Exchange. The resource has been translated into English and German. Among the less popular ways to find an ad is the use of printed books or newspapers.
What are the most popular jobs in Germany?
The first thing that affects the relevance of a vacancy is salary. High wages must be combined with acceptable working conditions. As for working on a farm or outside the city, in such conditions you will not have to deal with the “charms” of city life, like traffic jams or high rents.
Jobs that do not require knowledge of the language are also popular. Cleaning company specialists or handymen can find job offers without experience. They just need to go through a little training. Seasonal work is also often associated with minimum requirements.
In addition to work without experience, highly qualified specialists are valued in Germany. Among them are medical workers and employees of transport companies.
If a migrant is employed in their specialty, their diplomas and certificates must conform to a single model.
How do I get a work permit in Germany?
After searching for vacancies, if a suitable offer is found, it is necessary to resolve the issue of obtaining a work permit. German employers prefer to hire migrants from the CIS countries, because there are a large number of them, they have average salaries in Europe and there is a minimal risk of illegal employment. A simplified procedure for concluding an employment contract also plays into their hands.
From 2020, a German employer will no longer have to look for employees among locals and only then employ a migrant. To sign the contract, you need a foreigner’s diploma of secondary education. Having fulfilled the minimum requirements, the migrant is entitled to obtain a work permit. At the same time, work in Germany on biometrics is illegal and is fraught with serious consequences.
What documents will be needed to obtain a permit:
- copies and original of the passport, international passport;
- photos;
- medical insurance;
- certificate of residence in Germany;
- diploma.
A work permit is issued upon a signed contract, for a specific company and position.
What documents are needed to apply for a work visa?
A visa is issued on the basis of the obtained permit. Without it, employment is illegal, and such a work in Germany for Ukrainians is dangerous with the loss of any earnings.
Several types of visas are issued in Germany:
- EU Blue Card. It allows you to find a job in almost all European countries. A visa is issued if there is a higher education, a signed contract.
- Visa for highly qualified specialists. The migrant must have a specialized education, work experience and a signed contract.
- General Employment Visa. One of the most popular types of visas in Germany. To obtain it, there is the main condition – a signed employment contract.
- Visa for job search. They get it in order to find a job already in Germany. Its validity period is 6 months.
Each type of visa requires its own set of documents. It is prepared after signing an employment contract with a German employer.
Highly paid work in Germany without prepayment is available only to citizens who have gone through all the preparations for migration step by step. A package of documents must be prepared immediately before applying for a visa. Mandatory list includes:
- standard form;
- photos;
- a copy of the internal and international passport;
- contract with the employer;
- medical insurance policy;
- a confirmed diploma and certificate, if employment occurs in a specific specialty;
- confirmation of knowledge of the German language.
A visa fee must be paid when applying for a visa. Registration of all documents takes from 1 to 3 months.
What is the cost of living in Germany?
An important cost item for a migrant in Germany is the cost of housing. From waste depends on how profitable employment will be. Germany has a well-developed economy, and the average salary ranges from 1.5 to 3 thousand euros every month. A migrant cannot always count on such earnings.
For newcomers to Germany, it is better to look for vacancies in smaller towns. There, renting an apartment will cost 400-500 euros. In the capital, the cost of housing is many times more expensive and depends on the area. The average rent will cost already 800-900 euros.
Typically, rent in Germany includes utility bills. It is also common practice for an employer to offer free or cheap accommodation close to the workplace. Affordable jobs in Germany for students make it easier to find accommodation because it is usually provided by the school.
The cost of food must be added to the waste. In a month, Germans spend up to 400 euros on shopping in a store. Thrifty migrants are advised to learn how to cook at home and thus save a lot. The average fare per month is up to 100 euros, depending on routes and distances.
What salary can I expect?
The most important question that interests a foreigner is how much you can earn in Germany. The vacancy of a handyman is usually estimated at up to 2-3 thousand euros. Salary is influenced by many factors, such as the city, the number of hours worked and working conditions. Away from big cities, wages are 10-15% lower, but costs will also be lower.
The total income also depends on the area of employment. Earnings for various vacancies:
- housekeeper or nurse – 2-2.5 thousand euros;
- work in Germany for men, as a factory worker – from 2.4 thousand euros;
- an employee of a cleaning company – from 2 thousand euros;
- painter – 2-3 thousand euros.
Knowledge of the German language affects how much a migrant will receive per month. An employee who is willing to learn and improve skills receives more bonuses and allowances.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of working in Germany?
For many years, Germany has been the leader in the number of employment among migrants. The first weeks are difficult, while the employee adapts. Any job in Germany without intermediaries is associated with a little stress, and you need to prepare for this even before moving.
The main advantage of employment in Germany is the salary. Working conditions are acceptable, and therefore it will not be necessary to recycle. All overtime work is paid.
Another advantage of employment in Germany is medical care. Insurance allows you to be treated at a discount or for free. In terms of comfort, Germany is a suitable place where the migrant does not feel stigmatized or discriminated against.
