1. organise help in the household and garden
As we get older, many everyday tasks become more challenging:
- Neighbourhood help: Young people from the neighbourhood can help with smaller tasks to supplement their pocket money.
- Recommendations: Ask friends or acquaintances for trustworthy cleaners or gardeners.
- Legally protected: Avoid undeclared work and opt for legal employment to ensure insurance and legal security.
2. find services - offline and online
The search for support is easier than expected:
- Notices: Nearby supermarkets are ideal places to post notices. You can often find helpers from the immediate neighbourhood.
- Online platforms: Websites like Ebay classifieds, bookatiger.com or putzchecker.de offer a wide range of household and garden helpers.
3. shopping and menu services
Shopping and meals can also be organised more easily:
- Food deliveries: Supermarkets such as Rewe and Edeka offer practical delivery services.
- Menu service for senior citizens: Organisations such as Malteser, Johanniter, Caritas and the DRK deliver fresh meals directly to your home every day.
