Detailed description

A parenting assistant or childcare assistant can help your child in everyday life, in dealing with parents and with social problems.
 
Possible help is:

  • Conversations about problems, fears and behavior
  • Help in processing stressful experiences
  • Support in problem solving with family, friends, teachers or others
  • Support with administrative procedures

There is further help available for young people:

  • Support in finding work and housing
  • Help with breaking away from parents
  • Help to become independent

  • You cannot guarantee that the child is well
  • Help from a parenting assistant or a care assistant is appropriate and necessary.

Documents required

  • If applicable, proof of custody (e.g. birth certificate, information from the custody register, decision of the family court)

Please note

This is a type of educational support benefit. It can also apply to young adults.
