Why do I get unsuitable applications?

The more detailed and accurate your job offer is, the better childminders can assess whether it is a good fit for them. We therefore recommend that you fill out your job offer as precisely as possible in order to receive suitable applications.

Useful additions to your job offer would be:

• Frequency of assignments and number of hours per assignment (example: every 2 weeks for 2–3 hours each).
• Asking price, including whether net or gross wage is meant (example: hourly wage: € 12 net).
  Small tip: Read our article on the topic What does a babysitter, nanny or childminder cost?
• Exact description of the childcare required (example: 3 times a week for 3 hours in the afternoon).
• Exact details of special requirements and experience, if these are necessary.
