How much does a caregiver named Atena earn in Germany?
In Germany, your salary depends on your German language skills. The reason is simple: A caregiver speaks with the client and their family every day. The better you can communicate, the more you’ll earn. With an A2 level or lower, you’ll earn €1,850 per month. With a B1 level, you’ll earn €1,900. With a B2 level, you’ll earn €1,950. With a C1 level, you’ll earn €2,000. Each higher level adds €50 per month.
You don’t have to speak perfectly. Level A2 means you know basic vocabulary and short sentences. With that level, you’ll already be able to find a job. You’ll earn a higher salary later on, once you learn German better. Even a small improvement will show in your pay. Atena Academy offers German courses. Better German will also help you at work. You’ll understand the client’s family and won’t have to ask questions twice.
