Rundil employs every nanny directly. Your family has zero AHV, BVG, or UVG obligations — wherever you are in Switzerland.
When the school day ends, what matters most is not simply who collects your child. It is who walks back into your home with them.
The hours after school set the tone for everything that follows. They can feel rushed and unsettled — or calm and grounded. They can create tension around homework — or quiet confidence. They can either drain the evening — or protect it.
Our After School Nanny Switzerland service is built around one principle: we hire exceptional nannies first — and we remove every administrative and legal burden from you. Children relax around them. Parents trust them. Homes feel steadier. You receive one clear monthly invoice. Nanny service in Switzerland assigned within 48–72 hours. Zurich, Zug, and across to emergency nanny service in Switzerland.

✓ Criminal Background Checked | ✓ CPR & First Aid Certified | ✓ English-Speaking Standard | ✓ Replacement Cover Included | ✓ Rundil Is the Employer
Most parents come to us for one of three reasons:
Their child is overwhelmed after school and evenings have become tense
They need reliable, consistent cover without the admin of direct hire
They discovered that hiring a nanny directly in Switzerland makes them a legal employer
You should not have to choose between exceptional childcare and legal complexity. With Rundil, you do not.
| What you get: | What we handle: |
|---|---|
|
|
This is not a placement agency. This is a managed after school childcare service.
Credentials matter. But they are not enough.
Every nanny in our After School Nanny Switzerland service holds a verified criminal background check, is CPR and first aid certified, speaks English as a minimum standard, has verifiable childcare experience, and is interviewed in person by Rundil. That is the floor. Not the standard.
We go further. We look for something children feel immediately.
| We ask: | Because: |
|---|---|
| Does your child relax around them? | Calm attachment is what makes afternoons sustainable, not just managed |
| Do they listen at a child's eye level? | Children who feel heard arrive home ready to decompress — not escalate |
| Do they bring calm energy into a busy afternoon? | The transition from school to home sets the tone for the entire evening |
If a nanny is technically capable but emotionally distant, we do not proceed.
You are not buying hours. You are inviting someone into your child’s daily world. We treat that accordingly.
Strafregisterauszug verified before first assignment, renewed annually — every nanny, every location
Current Swiss-standard CPR and first aid certification — mandatory, not optional
English is the minimum across all four tiers. Multilingual nannies available on Experienced and Expert.
If your nanny is unavailable for any reason, Rundil provides a replacement from our employed pool
Rundil is the employer. Your family has zero AHV, BVG, UVG, or HR obligations of any kind
One clear invoice from Rundil — no separate nanny payments, no payslips, no admin
Many of the families we support have children attending international schools across Switzerland. Our nannies understand the academic expectations, homework structures, and communication styles of these environments. They provide guidance without pressure and structure without rigidity.

| The Bergman Family — Zurich | The Moreau Family — Geneva |
|---|---|
| Challenge: Relocated from Stockholm; both parents in banking; daughter aged 9 at ICSZ. School ends at 3:15pm. Parents home at 7pm. Daughter overwhelmed after school — homework a nightly conflict, evenings tense. First agency quoted CHF 3,800 and confirmed the family would need to register as employers with SVA Zürich. |
Challenge: French-British couple in Geneva; both parents in international finance; two children aged 7 and 10 at ECOLINT. Assumed after school services in Geneva meant placement agencies or informal arrangements. Concerns about Swiss employer obligations had deterred them from private hire for two years. |
| Solution: Experienced tier nanny assigned within 60 hours. Selected for calm temperament and primary school familiarity. Daily ICSZ pickup; gentle decompression; structured homework time without pressure. Rundil handled all compliance. |
Solution: Expert tier nanny with English and French, assigned within 72 hours. After school pickup from ECOLINT; structured bilingual homework routine. Rundil managed all employment compliance. Service agreement signed in English. |
| Outcome: Homework now completed in under 45 minutes — previously taking 90 with conflict. Screen time in the evenings reduced significantly. Bedtime moved 45 minutes earlier within the first month. Evening meltdowns eliminated within three weeks. Daughter began reading voluntarily again. "We saved CHF 3,800 in upfront fees and didn't have to learn Swiss payroll law. But what we noticed most was our daughter. She was herself again." |
Outcome: Children transitioned confidently into their new school environment. Consistent professional cover five days a week. Both parents returned to full office hours. School mornings became noticeably calmer. Children's teachers noted improved focus and homework completion within one term. "We assumed Rundil was a Zurich thing. We were wrong. Same standard, same simplicity, same relief." |

Our After School Nanny Switzerland service is designed for families who understand that the quality of the person matters more than the cost of the hour.
| Your family | Your situation | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Dual-income international household | Both parents working full-time in demanding roles | Consistent, professional after school care you never have to think about |
| Finance, pharma, technology, or consulting | Relocated to Switzerland on a 2–4 year assignment | An English-first service that works from day one — no admin, no compliance |
| Children at ZIS, GEMS, ICSZ, or ECOLINT | No extended family or local support network nearby | Someone your child genuinely bonds with — the same face, every afternoon |
| High standards, low tolerance for friction | You have been burned by Swiss administrative complexity | One invoice. One point of contact. Zero employer obligations. |
Whether you require two afternoons per week or daily structured support, we tailor the service around your family’s rhythm — not ours.

No. Rundil Childcare is a managed childcare service, not a nanny agency. Rundil employs the nannies directly across Switzerland. When you use Rundil for after school care, you sign a service agreement with Rundil — not an employment contract with the nanny. You have zero AHV, BVG, UVG, or employment obligations of any kind. Rundil handles all payroll, social contributions, insurance, and compliance on your behalf, regardless of which canton you are in.
Rundil Childcare charges a flat hourly rate excluding Swiss VAT (8.1%). One national rate applies across all locations — no city surcharge. Rates are: Qualified CHF 42/hr | Experienced CHF 47/hr | Expert CHF 54/hr | Flex CHF 55/hr. No placement fees, no upfront costs, no admin fees. Minimum 2 hours per session. For a family using 15 hours per week over a 40-week school year, the Experienced tier totals CHF 28,200 (excl. VAT) — with zero employer contributions or placement fees on top.
Yes. English-speaking is the minimum standard across all four Rundil tiers and across all Swiss locations. Every after school nanny assigned by Rundil speaks English as a matter of policy. Multilingual nannies — French, German, Spanish, Mandarin — are available on the Experienced and Expert tiers. All communication with Rundil is in English. The service is designed specifically for international families at schools including ZIS, GEMS, ICSZ, ECOLINT, and International School Basel.
Most families are assigned a nanny within 48–72 hours of submitting the booking form at rundil.com/childcare-booking-form/. Include your location, school, pickup time, and weekly schedule. Confirmation arrives via WhatsApp. In most cases, care begins within the same week.
Your agreement is with Rundil, not an individual nanny. If your assigned nanny is unavailable for any reason, Rundil provides replacement cover from our pool of employed, vetted professionals. You will not be left without cover — this applies regardless of your location in Switzerland.
Rundil serves families across Switzerland. Primary hubs are Zurich canton (Zürichberg, Seefeld, Küsnacht, Zollikon, Kilchberg, Thalwil, Adliswil) and Zug canton (Zug city, Baar, Cham, Risch, Menzingen). Rundil also operates in Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Bern, and Lucerne. One national rate applies — no price difference between cities or cantons. Contact Rundil to confirm availability in your specific location.
No. One national rate applies across all Swiss locations. Qualified CHF 42/hr | Experienced CHF 47/hr | Expert CHF 54/hr | Flex CHF 55/hr — whether you are in Zurich, Zug, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, or Bern. No city surcharges. No canton premiums. All prices exclude Swiss VAT (8.1%).
Yes. English is the minimum standard across all tiers. Multilingual nannies are available on the Experienced and Expert tiers, with options including French, German, Spanish, and Mandarin.
A nanny agency finds a candidate, charges a placement fee of CHF 3,000–4,000, and leaves you to become the nanny’s legal employer — with all Swiss AHV, BVG, and UVG obligations. Rundil is structurally different: Rundil is the employer. You purchase a childcare service. No placement fee. No HR obligations. One invoice.
The Experienced tier (CHF 47/hr) is the most popular choice — professional childcare experience, verified references, homework supervision, English-speaking as standard. The Expert tier (CHF 54/hr) is recommended for children attending MYP schools or needing structured academic guidance. The Qualified tier (CHF 42/hr) suits families whose primary need is reliable pickup and light supervision. The Flex tier (CHF 55/hr) suits irregular needs — school holidays, travel days, ad-hoc cover.
Yes. All tiers provide primary-level homework supervision. The Expert tier nanny is degree-qualified and MYP curriculum aware — suited for more structured academic support at international schools. For specialist subject tutoring — IGCSE, IB Diploma, or Swiss Matura — Rundil Tutoring Services provides qualified tutors from CHF 79/hr across Switzerland.
No long-term commitment is required. Adjust hours, pause, or stop at any time. Minimum of 2 hours per session. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before. For consistent nanny assignment, Rundil recommends a minimum of 8 hours per week for ongoing arrangements.
