What does “sustainability” mean in childcare?

In the con­text of child­ca­re agen­ci­es, sus­taina­bi­li­ty means much more than eco­lo­gy. It is about social, edu­ca­tio­nal, and struc­tu­ral sta­bi­li­ty:

The Fairness & Sustainability Check for the Employment Contract

A legal­ly secu­re and app­re­cia­ti­ve con­tract is the foun­da­ti­on for a har­mo­nious working rela­ti­onship. The fol­lo­wing points must be regu­la­ted:

Legal Employ­ment

Con­sis­tent regis­tra­ti­on via the Mini­job-Zen­tra­le (up to €603/month) or as an employ­ment rela­ti­onship sub­ject to social secu­ri­ty con­tri­bu­ti­ons (over €603/month).

Strict sepa­ra­ti­on of edu­ca­tio­nal child­ca­re and pure house­kee­ping. Addi­tio­nal tasks (bulk shop­ping, clea­ning for the enti­re fami­ly) must be sepa­ra­te­ly agreed upon and remu­ne­ra­ted.

Full sta­tu­to­ry (or abo­ve-sta­tu­to­ry) entit­le­ment to paid vaca­ti­on as well as con­tin­ued pay­ment of wages in the event of the nan­ny’s ill­ness.

Writ­ten con­fir­ma­ti­on of whe­ther over­ti­me is com­pen­sa­ted finan­ci­al­ly or through time off in lieu (days off).

Clear agree­ments and sup­ple­ments for any tra­vel accom­p­animent, weekend work, or even­in­g/on-call duties.

Salary Calculation for the Munich Area (as of 2026)

Due to the very high cost of living in Munich, real wages in the pre­mi­um seg­ment are signi­fi­cant­ly abo­ve the natio­nal avera­ge and the sta­tu­to­ry mini­mum wage (€13.90).

Option A: Experienced Staff / Students (without professional educational training)

Hour­ly wage: €18 to €22 gross
Month­ly sala­ry (full-time, 40 hours/week): approx. €3,100 to €3,800 gross

Option B: Qualified Professionals (Educators, Childcare Assistants, Professional Nannies)

Hour­ly wage: €23 to €30+ gross Month­ly sala­ry (full-time, 40 hours/week): approx. €4,000 to €5,200 gross

(The mar­ket avera­ge for full-time pro­fes­sio­nals in Munich is approx. €4,640 gross).

Additional Costs for the Employer (Family):

For a Mini­job (up to €603): Due to the fair Munich hour­ly wage (approx. €20), a maxi­mum of approx. 30 working hours per month (under 8 hours/week) is pos­si­ble here. Employ­er con­tri­bu­ti­ons to the Mini­job-Zen­tra­le amount to approx. 14.62% on top.

For per­ma­nent employ­ment (over €603): In addi­ti­on to the nan­ny’s gross sala­ry, you as the employ­er must cal­cu­la­te approx. 20% to 22% in ancil­la­ry cos­ts for social secu­ri­ty (pen­si­on, health, long-term care, unem­ploy­ment).

Established Premium Agencies in Munich…

…Kids Concept is one of them.

Repu­ta­ble agen­ci­es work sus­tain­ab­ly by tho­rough­ly che­cking refe­ren­ces, cri­mi­nal records (enhan­ced cer­ti­fi­ca­te of good con­duct), and the qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons of appli­cants.

As one of the lea­ding Munich pro­vi­ders, we at Kids Con­cept have a very high focus on sus­taina­bi­li­ty. We con­duct exclu­si­ve­ly per­so­nal inter­views by expe­ri­en­ced edu­ca­tors (no mass video inter­views) and pro­vi­de legal­ly secu­re tem­p­la­te con­tracts.
