When we speak to families arriving in Zug — on two-to-four year corporate assignments at Glencore, Abbott, Johnson Controls, or Siemens Energy — they describe the same three problems. They do not want to become household employers. They do not want to manage Swiss payroll compliance in a language they do not speak. And above everything else, they want to trust the person inside their home completely
The market makes the first two harder than they should be. If you hire a nanny directly in Zug, you become their legal employer: AHV registration, BVG pension contributions, UVG accident insurance, a compliant employment contract in German, and sick pay liability that grows every year you employ them. Placement agencies charge CHF 3,000–4,000 upfront — and then hand you that entire compliance burden anyway. And Zug’s nanny supply is genuinely constrained: approximately 50 unfilled nanny vacancies exist in Zug at any given time, with experienced English-speaking nannies in particular short supply.
Rundil Childcare was built to solve all three problems simultaneously. Rundil employs the nannies. Rundil handles every compliance obligation. And Rundil selects specifically for the warmth and emotional intelligence that makes a child feel genuinely secure.
“In Zug, families hiring a nanny directly pay CHF 3,000–4,000 in placement fees, then spend weeks registering as an employer with SVA Zug — in German. Rundil removes both problems before care even begins.”
You hire a cleaning company. You don’t employ the cleaner. Childcare in Zug should work the same way.
Rundil Childcare is a managed childcare service — not a placement agency, not a nanny platform, and not a matching service. Rundil is the employer of all nannies. Every competitor in the Zug market — NannyLink, Wind Connections, Rockmybaby — operates as a placement intermediary. They find you a candidate, charge CHF 3,000–4,000, and hand you the Swiss compliance problem. You register as an employer. You manage AHV, BVG, and UVG obligations. You draft an employment contract in German. When the nanny is sick, it is your problem to resolve.
Rundil inverts this entirely. You sign a service agreement with Rundil — not an employment contract with an individual nanny. You have zero AHV, BVG, or UVG obligations. You pay one flat hourly rate. Rundil manages every aspect of employment, compliance, and cover.

Your Rundil-employed nanny arrives. Same face, same routine — consistency from day one.
A single monthly invoice from Rundil. No separate nanny payments. No payroll admin. Done.
A Rundil nanny provides structured, emotionally secure childcare in your home — tailored to your child’s age, personality, and school rhythm. The following covers what every nanny assignment includes across all tiers, with additional support available on Experienced and Expert tiers.
For dedicated academic tutoring beyond the nanny’s scope, Rundil Tutoring provides qualified tutors across all subjects and curricula — at home or online.
Rundil nannies focus entirely on childcare. They are not household managers. If you require home cleaning, Rundil Cleaning operates as a separate service.
All Rundil nannies across all tiers meet a minimum B2 English language standard. For families in Zug, where the international corporate community includes households speaking French, German, Spanish, or Mandarin alongside English, multilingual nannies are available on the Experienced and Expert tiers. Families relocating for roles at Glencore, Abbott, Johnson Controls, or similar organisations receive English-first childcare from day one of their assignment — with no additional premium for the English-speaking standard.
Rundil Childcare charges a flat hourly rate across Zurich and Zug cantons. One national rate applies — there is no Zug surcharge. All prices exclude Swiss VAT at 8.1%.
| Tier | Rate (excl. VAT) | Best For | What's Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualified | CHF 42 / hr | Regular part-time care, set weekly schedule | Criminal background check · CPR & first aid certified · English-speaking standard · Rundil-employed nanny · Replacement cover included · Zero AHV/BVG/UVG obligations |

Most Zug families compare Rundil’s hourly rate against a nanny’s gross salary and stop there. That comparison is misleading. When you hire a nanny directly in Zug, you become the legal employer and take on obligations most families significantly underestimate. Here is the honest total-cost picture for a family using 20 hours of childcare per week in Zug:
| Cost Component | Direct Hire in Zug | Rundil Childcare (Experienced Tier) |
|---|---|---|
| Placement / agency fee | CHF 3,000–4,000 | CHF 0 — none ever |
| Nanny gross rate (experienced) | CHF 30–35/hr | Included in Rundil rate |
| Employer AHV contributions (~17%) | CHF 5–6/hr | Rundil pays — zero family obligation |
| BVG pension obligation | CHF 2–3/hr | Rundil pays — zero family obligation |
| Accident insurance (UVG) | CHF 0.60/hr | Rundil pays — zero family obligation |
| Holiday pay load (8.3%) | CHF 2.50/hr | Rundil pays — zero family obligation |
| Admin and compliance time (est.) | CHF 3–4/hr equiv. | Zero |
| Total effective hourly cost | CHF 43–50/hr + upfront fee | CHF 47/hr — all-inclusive |
| Year 1 (20 hrs/week, 48 weeks) | CHF 46,000–52,000+ | CHF 45,120 |
At 20 hours/week over a full year, Rundil Childcare can cost CHF 7,000+ less than direct hire in Zug — and the family does zero administration.
Every Rundil nanny is selected first for emotional intelligence — for warmth, patience, and the ability to create genuine security for a child. Then, on top of character, every nanny comes standard with:
A Strafregisterauszug (Swiss criminal record extract) is verified before every first assignment and renewed annually. Non-negotiable on every tier.
Swiss Red Cross standard CPR and first aid certification. Rundil funds this as part of nanny onboarding — families do not pay extra.
Minimum B2 English across all tiers. Multilingual nannies (French, German, Spanish, Mandarin) available on Experienced and Expert.
If your assigned nanny is unavailable for any reason, Rundil provides a vetted replacement from our employed pool. You will not be left without cover
Rundil is the employer. You sign a service agreement — not an employment contract. Zero AHV, BVG, or UVG obligations for the family, ever.
One clean invoice from Rundil each month. No separate nanny payments, no payroll reconciliation, no German-language AHV correspondence.
| The Relocated Family — Baar, Zug | The Solo-Parent Schedule — Cham, Zug |
|---|---|
| The Challenge
A family relocated from London — both parents in commodities trading — arrived in Baar with twin four-year-olds who had just left their nursery, their grandparents, and everything familiar. Both parents needed to return to full-time work within six weeks. A local placement agency quoted CHF 3,500 and a three-week process. They needed consistency, not a search. |
The Challenge
A mother in Cham — primary carer while her partner worked overseas — had her existing childcare arrangement collapse two weeks before the school year started. She needed morning drop-off and afternoon collection five days per week, with flexibility for unpredictable evening commitments. She had no time to interview candidates, negotiate contracts, or register with SVA Zug. |
| Rundil's Solution
Rundil assigned an Experienced tier nanny within 72 hours — English and French speaking, with a background in early years education. Five mornings per week from day one. Rundil managed all employment administration. The family signed one service agreement. |
Rundil's Solution
Rundil's Qualified tier was assigned within 48 hours. The service agreement covered the recurring schedule plus Flex cover for evenings when needed. On the two occasions the assigned nanny was ill across the year, Rundil provided a replacement without the mother needing to make a single call. |
| The Outcome
Both parents returned to work on schedule. Eleven months later, the same nanny remains with the family. The parents describe the continuity as the single most important factor in their children's transition to life in Switzerland. |
The Outcome
No disruption to her work schedule across the full year. By the third month she had upgraded to Experienced tier — the relationship between her children and the nanny had become something she was not willing to compromise on. |
| "The first simple decision we made after arriving in Switzerland. Our kids were settled before we were. — Sophie R., Baar" | "The replacement cover alone is worth every franc. But it is the fact that my children love her that keeps us." — Claudia M., Cham |
Rundil Childcare operates alongside two further professional home and family services under the Rundil name. Families who trust Rundil for childcare can access the same quality standard for academic tutoring and home cleaning — one provider, one standard, one invoice per service.
Managed nanny service, Zurich & Zug. Rundil is the employer. English-first.
All subjects, all curricula — IB, MYP, Swiss Matura, A-Level. Academic support beyond the nanny’s scope.
Professional home cleaning across Switzerland. Rundil-employed cleaners.
Every answer below is specific to how Rundil Childcare works. These are the questions families in Zug ask us directly — about our service, our nannies, our pricing, and what happens in the real situations that matter.
Rundil Childcare charges a flat hourly rate excluding Swiss VAT at 8.1%. The four tiers are: Qualified at CHF 42/hr, Experienced at CHF 47/hr (our most popular tier for ongoing family care), Expert at CHF 54/hr for degree-qualified nanny-educators specialising in primary-age care and MYP-level support, and Flex at CHF 55/hr for ad-hoc, short-notice, evening, and weekend bookings. There are no placement fees, no upfront costs, and no administrative charges — you pay only for the childcare hours Rundil delivers. The same national rate applies across Zurich and Zug; there is no Zug surcharge. A minimum of 2 hours applies per session.
No. When you use Rundil Childcare, you do not become an employer and you take on zero Swiss compliance obligations. Rundil Childcare is the legal employer of all nannies. You sign a service agreement with Rundil — not an employment contract with an individual nanny. This means Rundil handles all AHV (Alters- und Hinterlassenenversicherung — Swiss social security), BVG (Berufliche Vorsorge — occupational pension), and UVG (Unfallversicherungsgesetz — accident insurance) contributions, all payroll administration, and all compliance with Swiss domestic worker law. You have no obligation to register with SVA Zug, draft a German-language employment contract, or manage sick pay liability. You pay one flat hourly rate. Rundil manages everything else.
Rundil Childcare is the only nanny service in Zug where the service provider — not the family — is the legal employer of the nanny. Every other provider in the Zug market (NannyLink, Wind Connections, Rockmybaby) is a placement agency: they find you a candidate, charge CHF 3,000–4,000, and hand you the Swiss compliance obligation. You then register as an employer, draft a contract, and manage AHV, BVG, and UVG yourself — in German. Rundil inverts this entirely. You purchase professional childcare as a service. Rundil employs the nanny, handles all compliance, provides replacement cover if your nanny is unavailable, and charges a single flat hourly rate with no placement fee. No other childcare provider in Zug currently operates this model.
No. Rundil assigns your nanny based on your family profile — your children’s ages, language preferences, schedule, and any specific requirements you note on the booking form. You do not interview candidates or choose from a shortlist. This is deliberate: Rundil is the employer, and nanny assignment is our professional responsibility, not yours. If the assigned nanny is not the right fit for your family, Rundil will reassign without friction and without charge. Most families never need a reassignment — but the guarantee is there if you do.
Rundil provides a replacement from our pool of employed, vetted nannies. Your service agreement is with Rundil — not with an individual person — so when your assigned nanny is unavailable for any reason, Rundil’s obligation to provide care does not stop. You do not need to find cover yourself, contact the nanny directly, or make any alternative arrangements. For Flex tier bookings, the same applies: every nanny deployed is Rundil-employed, background-checked, and CPR-certified, regardless of how short the notice is.
Your service agreement is with Rundil Childcare — not with the individual nanny assigned to your family. If your nanny leaves Rundil’s employment for any reason, Rundil will assign a replacement and manage the transition. You do not need to re-negotiate, re-register, or take any administrative action. This is a structural advantage over any placement agency arrangement, where the nanny leaving means the family’s care arrangement ends and the agency fee has already been spent. With Rundil, continuity of service is Rundil’s responsibility, not yours.
Yes. Many Rundil families in Zug use a combination of an ongoing tier — typically Experienced — for their regular weekly schedule, and book Flex additionally for short-notice evenings, weekends, and school holiday weeks when their regular nanny is not scheduled. The two tiers operate independently. Flex bookings are requested via WhatsApp at +41 76 213 1843 and can typically be confirmed within 24–48 hours. There is no minimum commitment on Flex — you book it only when you need it, at CHF 55/hr excluding VAT.
Yes — and the shorter the assignment, the stronger the case for Rundil. If you hire a nanny directly in Zug on a two-year assignment, you register as an employer, draft a compliant employment contract, and take on all AHV, BVG, and UVG obligations. When your assignment ends, you then have to manage the termination correctly under Swiss labour law — including notice periods and potential severance. With Rundil, you sign a service agreement and stop when your assignment ends. No employer registration. No German-language termination process. No employment liability. For a two-year assignment at CHF 47/hr for 20 hours per week, Rundil’s total cost including zero placement fee is typically CHF 7,000 or more less than direct hire when employer contributions and the placement fee are calculated honestly.
Yes. Multilingual nannies — including English/French, English/German, English/Spanish, and English/Mandarin — are available on Rundil’s Experienced and Expert tiers. Given Zug’s international corporate community, multilingual nannies are among our most-requested profiles and are part of the standard matching process on those tiers. Note the language preference clearly on your booking form, and Rundil will factor it into the assignment. English is the minimum standard on all tiers; a second language is available on Experienced (CHF 47/hr) and Expert (CHF 54/hr) without a premium above the tier rate.
Book as soon as your arrival date is confirmed. Rundil assigns nannies within 48–72 hours of a completed booking form, but submitting your form in advance allows Rundil to match your family profile and confirm your nanny before you land. Many families relocating to Zug for corporate assignments book from their home country two to four weeks before arrival. You can submit the booking form at rundil.com/childcare-booking-form/ and communicate the logistics via WhatsApp at +41 76 213 1843. Care can begin on your first full week in Zug.
Every Rundil nanny must meet four non-negotiable criteria before their first assignment: a valid Strafregisterauszug (Swiss criminal background check, not older than three months and renewed annually), current CPR and first aid certification to Swiss Red Cross standard (funded by Rundil as part of onboarding), a minimum of two years of verifiable professional childcare experience with contactable references, and English language proficiency at minimum B2 level. All nannies are also interviewed in person by the Rundil operations team before any client assignment. Rundil funds the CPR certification — families do not pay an additional premium for this standard. It applies to every tier.
Rundil issues a single monthly invoice covering all childcare hours delivered in that month. You pay Rundil directly — you never pay the nanny separately, and there are no additional charges beyond the flat hourly rate and Swiss VAT at 8.1%. There are no booking fees, no administrative fees, and no placement charges at any point. The invoice is issued in English. If you have any queries about your invoice, these are handled via WhatsApp at +41 76 213 1843 or by email at info@rundil.com.
Rundil’s Flex tier is specifically designed for school holiday cover across Zug. Flex operates at CHF 55/hr excluding Swiss VAT at 8.1%, with no standing commitment — you book it only for the school holiday periods you need it. Flex nannies are Rundil-employed, hold criminal background checks and CPR certification, and are deployed within 24–48 hours of a confirmed booking request. For school holiday weeks, Rundil recommends booking at least one week in advance where possible to secure availability — Flex demand across Zug increases significantly during Zuger Ferien periods. Book via WhatsApp at +41 76 213 1843.
A child measures childcare in tone of voice. In patience. In who they run to when the doorbell rings. Rundil assigns a warm, employed, English-speaking nanny to your family — and removes every administrative and legal barrier so you never have to think about it. No placement fee. No employer registration. One clear monthly invoice.
✓ No placement fee | ✓ Zero employer obligations | ✓ English-first service
