How can I work in Europe (Germany) over the Summers with my 8 year old


How can I work in Europe (Germany) over the Summers with my 8 year old?
I work for a local school district and have summers off and would like to work in Europe over the Summers either teaching English as a second language, or anything else for that matter, but I have an 8 year old daughter that would have to come with me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how that can be done or if they know anyone who has done this before? Where can I find some leads on how to start this process?

You can't unless you are an EU cititzen you will need to apply for a work visa and I very much doubt you will be able to get one there is no need for English teachers http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/de/Startseite.html

Do not go there with a kid kids are easy to influence or you want that your kid will become a communist? EDIT do not trust the user below these camps are run by former east German communists your kid will be indoctrinated when you get her back

It is going to be hard to find employment only for the summer and getting a work visa might be difficult as well. Try and apply at German summer camps. The organization hosting the camp might be able to help you with the work permit, while you child would be able to attend the camp while you're working. Hope this helps.

You could possibly work in a Kindergarten and then your daughter could attend too. of course you would need to know some german

I don't think they give jobs to 8 year olds.
