If you need flexible childcare close to home or additional childcare in addition to daycare or school, you have the option of hiring a childminder.
 The practice of child day care is subject to authorization according to § 43 SGB VIII, i.e. day carers receive permission to practice child day care according to § 43 SGB VIII after several interviews, 2 home visits and the presentation of a medical certificate, a police clearance certificate and participation in a 160-hour qualification. The care usually takes place in the home of the childminder. Please contact the staff at the youth welfare office or the independent provider. In a personal meeting, addresses of childminders with free childcare places will be compiled according to your personal care needs.
 You can then use the list of addresses to contact the childminders yourself and choose a childminder. An application for financial support for childcare can be submitted to the youth welfare office.
