Nanny Service Switzerland — from CHF 42/h + 8.1% MwSt.
The kind of nanny your child lights up for — warm, wonderful with children, and English-speaking. Every Rundil nanny is criminal-background-checked, CPR-certified and employed by us, so alongside someone your child adores you get real peace of mind — and never the contracts, AHV or payroll of hiring one yourself.
Rundil childcare in Switzerland costs CHF 42, 47 or 54 per hour (excl. 8.1% VAT) depending on the nanny's experience tier — an English-speaking, criminal-background-checked, CPR-certified nanny, employed by Rundil so you carry zero AHV, BVG or UVG obligations, assigned within 48 to 72 hours, with guaranteed replacement cover if your nanny is ever unavailable.
Tell us the tier and how many hours a week you need. We'll show you what regular care actually costs — no email, no waiting, no sales call.
Rates are charged per child, with a minimum two-hour session. Booking for siblings? Add them on the booking form and we'll confirm the exact price. The Flex rate covers short-notice, out-of-hours, weekend and emergency care.
Hiring childcare in Switzerland usually means becoming an employer overnight — payroll, AHV, insurance, and the quiet fear of getting any of it wrong. Rundil removes all of that. We employ the nanny, vet her to Swiss standards, and stand behind the care with guaranteed cover — so the only thing left for you is to watch your child be happy and safe.
You never scroll through profiles hoping to guess well. Tell us your family's needs and we assign a vetted, English-speaking nanny — typically within 48 to 72 hours.
We are the legal employer. No AHV, no BVG, no UVG, no payroll and no placement fee — and none of the CHF 40,000 risk of getting Swiss employment law wrong.
Every nanny holds a Swiss criminal-record extract and current CPR and first-aid certification, with references checked before the first assignment.
Guaranteed replacement cover if your nanny is unavailable, and no minimum contract — adjust hours, pause, or stop whenever life changes.
Hire a nanny privately or through a placement agency and, the moment she starts, you become an employer under Swiss law — responsible for AHV, BVG and UVG contributions, payroll, insurance and compliance, with fines of up to CHF 40,000 for getting it wrong. With Rundil, none of that is ever yours.
Before a nanny ever meets your child, she clears the same three-part standard — the checks a babysitting marketplace quietly leaves to you.
The headline hourly rate is only half the story. Everything below sits with the family when you hire privately — and with Rundil when you don't.
| Responsibility | Hiring directly | With Rundil |
|---|---|---|
| Employment contract | ✗ You are the employer | ✓ Rundil is the employer |
| Payroll, AHV, BVG & UVG | ✗ Your responsibility | ✓ Included |
| Employer & liability risk | ✗ Carried by you | ✓ Carried by Rundil |
| Placement / setup fee | ✗ ~CHF 3,000–4,000 or 9–18% | ✓ None |
| Sick & holiday cover | ✗ Your problem — no cover | ✓ Guaranteed replacement |
| Background check & CPR | ✗ You arrange & verify | ✓ Verified before assignment |
One vetted, English-speaking nanny — assigned to what your family actually needs, from newborn support to the after-school scramble.
Swiss childcare runs from a ~CHF 29/hour direct hire to a CHF 3,000+ agency placement. Rundil sits in the middle on the headline number and, once the hidden costs are added, usually below — because the employer role never becomes yours.
Three steps from enquiry to a trusted nanny at your door — usually inside 48 to 72 hours.

The two things families fear most about childcare — being let down, and being stuck — written down rather than implied.
Because Rundil employs the nannies, care does not depend on one person's calendar. If your assigned nanny is ever ill or unavailable, Rundil provides a substitute so your cover holds. And if the fit is not right going forward, we reassign at no cost and with no awkward conversation.

In-home care Switzerland-wide, with nannies active across every major city and canton. Active promotion currently focuses on Zürich and Zug.
Rundil Childcare provides English-speaking, fully-managed nanny care across Switzerland, for international and expat families in Zürich, Zug and every canton. The difference that matters is structural: Rundil is the employer of every nanny, not a placement or recruitment agency. You purchase a childcare service and sign a service agreement with Rundil — you never sign an employment contract with the nanny, never register as an employer, and never take on AHV, BVG or UVG obligations. Rundil handles payroll, social contributions, insurance and compliance, so a decision that usually comes wrapped in Swiss employment law becomes, simply, reliable care.
Every Rundil nanny holds a Swiss criminal-record extract (Strafregisterauszug) verified before the first assignment, current CPR and first-aid certification, and checked references — and speaks English as a minimum. You are not asked to browse profiles and guess: Rundil assigns a nanny to your family profile, typically within 48 to 72 hours, and confirms the details by WhatsApp. If the assigned nanny is ever unavailable, replacement cover is guaranteed, and if the fit is not right, Rundil reassigns without friction.
Rundil charges CHF 42, 47 or 54 per hour excl. 8.1% VAT for planned care — Qualified, Experienced and Expert — and a Flex on-demand rate of CHF 55/hr for short-notice, out-of-hours, weekend, holiday and emergency care. Rates are charged per child with a minimum two-hour session, and there is one national rate with no Zürich or Zug differentiation. There is no minimum contract and no registration fee: adjust hours, pause, or stop at any time, with free cancellation up to 48 hours before a session. Families across Zürich, Zug and the rest of Switzerland choose Rundil because the care is excellent — and everything an employer would normally worry about stays with Rundil.
English-speaking, criminal-background-checked, CPR-certified nannies from CHF 42/hour, assigned in 48–72 hours, with guaranteed replacement cover. Rundil employs the nanny — you simply have reliable care.
