Yes. You can easily work for several private households at the same time and be officially registered with all of your employers. Many household helpers work for several families, clean in different households or combine different types of work.

Many household helpers work for one or more families alongside their main job. Having an additional job is generally possible and comes with no disadvantages. Important: Registration is worth it even with several jobs – you build up pension entitlements, and you can get back any tax you overpaid through your tax return.

If you work as a household helper in a private household, your employer has a number of legal obligations. These include: registering your employment with the relevant authorities, paying the agreed wage on time, granting paid holiday, continuing to pay you when you're sick, insuring you against accidents at work and on the way to work, paying at least the statutory minimum wage, issuing payslips and correctly paying social security contributions and other charges. With quitt, your employer can handle all of this easily and in line with the law. That way, both of you can focus on what matters.
