What does a caregiver from Bulgaria cost?
At CAIR, 24-hour live-in care starts at €2,450 a month. On top come €150 in travel costs per arrival and per departure. You provide board and lodging yourself, and the caregiver needs a room of their own.
With a Pflegegrad, the care insurance pays a care allowance that lowers your share. The calculator shows what is left for you to pay.

Why caregivers from Bulgaria?
Bulgaria has established itself as an alternative since demand for Polish caregivers began to outstrip supply. Bulgarian caregivers have worked in Germany regularly since EU accession, often through posting agencies with years of experience in the German market.
On CAIR you see the monthly price for every caregiver transparently before booking, along with vetted profiles and real reviews. You can request a caregiver online or let us guide you at no cost: we match your needs with vetted partner agencies and available caregivers and stay with you until the care is in place.
Language
German is usually learned specifically for the assignment. Levels range from basics to conversational.
Travel
Travel by plane or coach. As with Romania, rotation intervals therefore tend to be a little longer.
Legal framework
As EU citizens they are free to work in Germany under freedom of movement. Two setups are common: posting through an agency in the home country, or self-employment.
