Childminders for Balle

Are you passionate about working in a caring and professional manner with children aged 0-3? And do you want an independent daily routine where you plan the day's program yourself? Then maybe it’s you we’re looking for.

As of January 1, 2027 we are looking for colleagues in Balle.

Your educational background is not decisive for whether you are the right person for the job - it is your desire to work pedagogically and your commitment to children's well-being and development that matters.

And it is important that you are willing to make your home available for four children, where the family has chosen the close and secure relationship and care option that gives the individual child the experience of being something special.

Does that sound just like a job for you? Then watch the film here and gain an even better insight into life as a day-care provider with us.
