Hi All
I have 13 years experience working with children in Australia and now live in baden (40 mins by train from Zurich). I was wondering if anyone knows of any work available with children, maybe teaching English or something along those lines. I have very limited German, having just completed an eight week basic course.
Any hints or information would be greatfully received.

Have you considered such things as being a tagesmutter, ie babysitting in your own home? How much do you want/need to earn? Have you TEFL qualifications? The more information the better...

Hi, I have considered babysitting in my home, but I really want to work to get me out of the house and meet people. We are here for My husbands job and so I have very little to do! I have no TESL qualifications... unfortunately

You can try your luck with http://www.childrensworld.ch/ - they opened in Baden in Oct 2006, so might still be looking for staff.

Is one of the English speeking play groups but that is down our end, South of Zürich but im sure there are a lot of these types of play groups around looking for teachers. If not contact the Hull School in seefeld they are a English speeking School http://www.hullschool.ch/en/index.cfm .

I have been doing some work in an English speaking playgroup and activity centre in Ehrendingen (5 mins out of Baden) for several months. You could try sending an email to them through http://www.littlepoppets.ch/
I'm not sure if they are looking for anyone at the moment, but it is worth a try. Good Luck!!!
