Basically, you should ask your employer. Your question lacks some details, like, will you be employed by a home care company ("Häuslicher Pflegedienst"), or are you planning to do it as a freelancer, that means, self-employed on a "Minijob" basis for several households. Both schemes have their advantages and disadvantages, and it varies from place to place, so you'll really have to find out on your own. Are you already in Germany and doing a job, or are you married to a German who pays for the household income? You'll have no "Lohnsteuer 5" if this isn't the case. The 5 (highest tax for additional work) usually is for people who don't really need the money. Don't feel insulted. You should ask a German "Steuerberater" for details, as I'm not a financial expert. Also, "nurse" translates into various professions in German, and some of them need a diploma and/or special education. So your question isn't easy to answer. Local regualtions, which vary from state to state, can make things even more difficult. I'd suggest you just apply for the jiobs you find interesting, and if they want you, they'll make sure you'll get all the necessary paperwork done. Employers usually don't like bureaucracy and will have lots of understanding for you not wanting to deal with the paperwork.

Well, that job doesn't make much money in general and with Lohnsteuerklasse 5 it's gonna be even less.

Low wages. People are paid more for comparable work in Canada. The standard of living is lower in Germany than in Canada. Most people live in apartments and don't own their own homes. It's sad really. And it's so cramped and over-populated too in Germany.
