FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
FOR JOB SEEKERS
1. Why must I commit to a contract of at least 6 months?
Answer: We value your professionalism and want to offer you stability. A longer contract allows for a true international life experience, full immersion into the language and culture, and the opportunity to build lasting friendships. Most importantly, it is in the best interest of the child's well-being.
2. What if I'm nervous about speaking English?
Answer: That is completely normal! The most important thing is a genuine desire to connect with children and the courage to communicate. Language skills grow incredibly fast in everyday situations—while playing with the kids or meeting other nannies. Families value your warmth and professionalism far more than perfect grammar. With children, body language, facial expressions, and doing things together often communicate more than words ever could. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—that's how you learn best, and children are the most wonderful and forgiving teachers in the world.
3. How are my working hours and holidays determined?
Answer: Working hours and holidays are always agreed upon individually in the employment contract with the family. Amelie Care recommends responsible working hours (max 48 h/week) and regular holidays so you can visit your home country and recharge. Your well-being is a prerequisite for a successful and long-term placement.
4. What are the living arrangements, and will I have my own privacy?
Answer: Living arrangements are agreed upon individually with each family and can be either Live-in or Live-out:
Live-in: You live within the family home and have your own private room. We instruct families to respect your off-duty time and your room as a private space where you can rest after your workday.
Live-out: You live in your own accommodation outside the family home and arrive for your scheduled working hours.
5. What support will I receive if I experience homesickness or challenges in a new country?
Answer: You are not alone. You can contact us at any time if you have concerns or need advice on settling into your new daily life. We encourage you to be proactive and can suggest common channels to help you find local hobbies or other international professionals.
Should challenges arise in everyday situations that require external support, we are happy to refer you to an expert in our network. The employee can arrange a potential remote consultation (in Finnish or English) directly with the expert at their own expense.
