✓ Nanny assigned within 48–72 hours
Most families relocating to Zurich or Zug believe they are hiring a nanny. In reality, they are registering as a Swiss employer.
Under Swiss law, a family who hires a nanny directly must:
This applies even for part-time, regular weekly care.
Rundil removes this entirely.
With our Regular Nanny Zurich & Zug service, Rundil is the legal employer. You sign a service agreement with us — not an employment contract with the nanny. Your children receive consistent, professional daily care. You have zero employer obligations.
A managed regular nanny service means the nanny is employed by the provider — not by the family.
With Rundil:
A traditional nanny agency matches a candidate and charges a placement fee of CHF 3,000–4,000. The family then becomes the employer.
Rundil operates differently.
You purchase a Regular Nanny in Zurich & Zug as a professional childcare service.
You hire a cleaning company. You do not employ the cleaner. Childcare should work the same way.
Our regular nannies are employees of Rundil. You never register as an employer.
There is no upfront cost before care begins. Your first invoice is for childcare hours — nothing else.
Every Rundil nanny:
When something matters, you call Rundil. We own the relationship and the outcome.
A Regular Nanny Zurich & Zug service means:
Consistency is not optional in daily childcare. It is essential.
Our Regular Nanny service is designed for daily, recurring childcare and after-school support.
Typical responsibilities include:
For families requiring academic support beyond childcare, Rundil Tutoring Services can be integrated seamlessly.
One national rate across Zurich and Zug. No placement fee. No employer obligations.

Families hiring directly typically pay CHF 28–32/hr gross wage — plus AHV employer contributions, UVG accident insurance, BVG pension, holiday provision, sick pay liability, and a placement fee of CHF 3,000–4,000. When calculated honestly, the effective hourly cost rises to approximately CHF 40–45/hr before the placement fee. Rundil’s Regular Nanny service provides a comparable all-in rate with zero employer burden and no upfront cost.

Whether you are newly arrived or established in Switzerland, our Regular Nanny service provides stability without administrative complexity.
Everything you need to know about how Rundil’s Regular Nanny service works in Zurich and Zug.
Rundil assigns a professionally employed, vetted nanny to your family within 48–72 hours of your booking form being submitted. Your nanny arrives each week on the same schedule — briefed, background-checked, CPR certified, and employed by Rundil. You sign a service agreement with Rundil and receive one monthly invoice. You never employ the nanny, manage payroll, or handle any compliance paperwork. If your nanny is ever unavailable, Rundil provides a replacement from our employed pool so your schedule continues without disruption.
Rundil is the employer of every nanny on our team. The nanny’s employment contract, payroll, AHV social contributions, UVG accident insurance, BVG pension contributions, and sick pay liability are all handled by Rundil. The family signs a service agreement with Rundil — not an employment contract with the nanny. This means the family has zero employer obligations of any kind. This is the fundamental difference between Rundil and a traditional nanny agency, where the family always becomes the employer after paying a placement fee.
Rundil charges a flat hourly rate with no placement fee and no employer obligations for the family. The Experienced tier — the most popular choice for regular weekly care — is CHF 47/hr excluding Swiss VAT (8.1%). At 20 hours per week, regular weekly care costs CHF 940 excluding VAT, or approximately CHF 1,016 including VAT. The Qualified tier is CHF 42/hr and the Expert tier CHF 54/hr. There is no upfront cost, no placement fee, and one national rate across Zurich and Zug — no surcharge between cantons.
Yes. Consistency is central to how Rundil’s Regular Nanny service is designed. We assign a dedicated nanny to your family and prioritise keeping the same person for your ongoing weekly schedule. If your nanny is unavailable on any given session — due to illness or leave — Rundil provides a replacement from our employed pool for that session, and your regular nanny returns the following week. If the match is not right for your family, we will reassign without friction.
Nanny assignment typically takes 48–72 hours after your booking form is submitted at rundil.com/childcare-booking-form/. You will receive confirmation and your nanny’s profile via WhatsApp before the first session. In many cases, regular weekly care can begin within the same week you enquire.
Every nanny on Rundil’s team — across all tiers — submits a Strafregisterauszug (Swiss federal criminal background check) before their first assignment, renewed annually. All Rundil nannies hold current CPR and first aid certification to Swiss Red Cross standard, funded by Rundil as part of onboarding. They speak English as a minimum and work under an employment contract with ongoing performance expectations. Because Rundil employs the nannies, we can enforce these standards — something no agency or platform can do once a candidate is placed.
The Experienced tier (CHF 47/hr, most popular) provides a nanny with several years of professional childcare experience and strong verified references. Included as standard: criminal background check, CPR and first aid certification, English-speaking, replacement cover if unavailable, and Rundil employment — meaning zero employer obligations for your family. Multilingual nannies are available on this tier for families who want French, German, Spanish, or Mandarin spoken during daily care.
Your service agreement is with Rundil — not with an individual nanny. If your assigned nanny is unavailable for any reason, Rundil arranges a replacement from our pool of employed, vetted professionals. Your childcare schedule continues without disruption. You do not need to source cover yourself or contact anyone other than Rundil. This is one of the most significant practical advantages of the Rundil model compared to direct hire or agency placement.
There is no long-term commitment. You can adjust your weekly hours, pause your Regular Nanny service, or stop at any time. Individual sessions can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before the booking. The only minimum is a 2-hour session per booking. Rundil recommends a minimum of 8 hours per week for ongoing regular care to guarantee consistent nanny assignment, but this is not a contractual requirement.
The Experienced tier (CHF 47/hr) suits most families seeking reliable, professional regular weekly care — particularly for children aged 2–10 with established school or nursery routines. The Qualified tier (CHF 42/hr) is ideal for younger children or more straightforward daily schedules. The Expert tier (CHF 54/hr) is the right choice when your children are at primary school age, benefit from curriculum-aware support, or need homework guidance integrated into daily care. All tiers include the same safeguarding standards and Rundil employment model.
Yes. Multilingual nannies — speaking French, German, Spanish, or Mandarin alongside English — are available on the Experienced and Expert tiers. When you submit your booking form, you can specify a language preference and Rundil will match accordingly. English is the minimum standard across all tiers.
Submit your booking form at rundil.com/childcare-booking-form/. Include your postcode, children’s ages, the days and hours you need, and any language or curriculum preferences. Rundil will confirm via WhatsApp and assign your nanny within 48–72 hours. There is no upfront fee and no commitment required before your first session.
