Job Duties
All work is conducted with awake dual staffing, and the employment begins with thorough training and introduction. Therefore, no prior knowledge or previous care experience is required.
Here you are offered meaningful, awake night work as a personal assistant, with a focus on supervision and care for a 2-year-old boy in his home. The boy was born with a weakened airway and breathes through a small plastic tube in his throat (called a Trach). Otherwise, he is a cheerful and completely healthy little boy. During the night, your main task is to watch over him while he sleeps to ensure he sleeps safely. This means you monitor the trach and ensure that the plastic tube is kept clean using a handy steam machine and a small medical "vacuum."
Beyond supervision, your duties also include simple practical tasks, such as taking inventory of materials in the storage room, ensuring the boy's clothes are in order, and cleaning pacifiers in preparation for the coming day. The boy usually sleeps through the entire night, which means night shifts are typically characterized by calm and quiet – while your presence and attention are always important.
The family consists of the boy, his mom and dad, and the family dog. They live in a large, newly renovated villa with good bus connections and favorable conditions for a pleasant work environment.
Working hours are from 21:00–07:00, and shifts can occur on both weekdays and weekends.
We are looking for you:
We believe your personal qualities are crucial for thriving in this role and succeeding in the assignment. You are a child-loving and caring person who genuinely enjoys working with young children and contributing to their sense of security. Continuity and stability are important in this assignment, and we therefore seek someone who wants to work long-term in the role and who sees the value in following a child over time.
As a person, you are calm, empathetic, and responsible. You have a good ability to be present and attentive even in calm and quiet environments. You understand that night work requires structure around sleep and recovery to keep yourself awake and focused even during quiet nights. You are comfortable keeping yourself occupied during quiet moments, while always keeping the child's needs in focus. Furthermore, you are punctual, reliable, and flexible, with the ability to cover for colleagues when needed. You also have a good understanding of what it means to work in someone's home and always act professionally, respectfully, and attentively in the home environment.
All necessary training and introduction will be provided on-site, so previous experience is not a requirement for the role. Perhaps you have worked with children or in care and social services, or you are simply a naturally child-loving, responsible, and caring person seeking long-term work.

· Non-smoker
