In most cases, the childcare provided by your employer is not relevant for tax purposes (especially if there is a corporate need).  However, this applies to a maximum of 25 hours per year.

It is also possible that the childcare provided is regarded as capital-forming benefit. You are welcome to make inquires to the responsible contact person beforehand. 

An emergency caregiver can be booked without any red tape, advance notice or registration:

• Usually, the caregiver can be at your home or at the university to take care of your child within three hours.
• The caregivers bring a care contract with them, in which all important things are regulated, such as telephone numbers, pediatrician, insurance, etc.
• The availability for care requests is by phone/email from Mon-Thu from 8:00-18:00, Fri from 08:00 - 15:00.
• Bookings for the following day can be accepted until 15:00.
• An assignment lasts on average from 4 hours to 3 days, but can be longer if needed.
• The minimum assignment is 4 hours.
