Expat looking for work - any help appreciated!

Hi there! Someone suggested I try posting this here...

I've just moved to Bremen, Germany as my bf is based here for six months, and I need something to occupy my time!! I don't speak much German but am learning the language as fast as I can

I've managed to find three half-days of work nannying, but the rest of my time is my own and I'm would really like to find some more work so I can save.

I have several years' experience in childcare, and I can also do admin and data entry, so I was wondering if anybody knew of any online companies worth applying to for work I can do from home?

If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd be eternally grateful!

    Employment boards might be a better bet but I know Reed.co.uk has international jobs

    However most will require German speaking people and/or permanent employees. The best would be perhaps talk to someone local.

    I am in a similar situation visiting family in Argentina for 3 months. In the UK I had been able to earn a little money on the side doing things like e-rewards, but now these all screen me out straight away (I guess they see my IP address is not UK). Does anyone have any experience of getting around this? I tried using free proxies but did not appear to work!
