The warmer months not only bring pleasant weather, but also a whole host of benefits. They make this the ideal time to start working as a carer. Whether you have minimal experience or only basic foreign language skills, summer could be the perfect time for you to start this fulfilling career.
More chances to travel with basic language skills
One of the significant advantages of taking up a care job in the summer is the greater chance to travel, even with basic language skills. Many families are more flexible and open to employing carers who may not be fluent in the language. This allows you to gain valuable work experience while improving your language skills on the job.This can be a great advantage if you are eager to experience new places and cultures.
Improving language skills
Working abroad as a nanny during the summer can greatly improve your language skills. Immersion is one of the most effective ways to learn a language. Daily contact with patients and their families will expand your vocabulary and conversational skills. Over time, you will find that you are more confident and have a better command of German or other languages. This can open up even more opportunities for you in the future.
Ability to travel with minimal experience
Summer is an ideal time to start a career for those with minimal or no experience in caregiving. Many families are looking for temporary carers at this time, which is an ideal opportunity for newcomers to gain practical experience. These short-term positions can serve as a stepping stone and help you build a solid foundation for a long-term career as a caregiver.
Short-term tours and substitution
At Atena , we understand that flexibility is important. That’s why we offer short tours and substitute positions during the summer. These opportunities are ideal for those who can’t commit to long-term positions but still want to try working abroad. You can enjoy the benefits of working as a caregiver while maintaining a flexible schedule that suits your personal needs.
Summer holiday with the patient’s family
In some cases, working as a caregiver in the summer means you can join the patient’s family on their vacation. This unique benefit allows you to travel to beautiful vacation spots and provide care in a relaxed and comfortable environment. It’s a great way to explore new places and create lasting memories while fulfilling your work obligations.
Salary bonuses
Summer jobs for carers are often linked to additional financial incentives. At Atena, in some cases you can get a bonus for working the whole tour or for joining your family early. These bonuses can significantly increase your income, making the summer season not only a great time to gain experience and travel, but also a great time to make a financial profit.
Bonus for referring a friend
We value our caregivers and believe in the power of community. That’s why we offer a bonus for referring a friend. If you refer a friend to join Atena, you can earn a bonus of €300 and an additional €50 per month. This incentive not only rewards you for helping us grow our team, but also gives you the opportunity to work alongside your friends, making the work even more enjoyable.
Starting work as a caregiver in the summer offers a range of benefits, from opportunities to travel and improve your language skills to flexible working hours and financial bonuses. At Atena, we strive to provide the best possible support to our caregivers and ensure you have a rewarding experience.
