We are not an Agency!
We collaborate with trusted, SECO-licensed agencies that align with our Code of Conduct. These partners support professional and responsible placements, ensuring better outcomes for both families and nannies. SNA does not place or match nannies with families. Our role is to provide guidance, resources, and support — helping both nannies and families make informed and fair decisions.
Looking for an Agency?
If you are searching for a nanny or a position through an agency, we work alongside member agencies who specialize in recruitment.
These trusted partners can provide:
• Tailored matchmaking
• Professional guidance
• Support throughout the placement process
Our Mission: Building a Stronger Future for In Home Childcare
At Swiss Nanny Association (SNA), we are committed to empowering nannies, supporting families, and strengthening childcare standards through our three core pillars:
Our Goals
1. Promoting Legal Work & Professional Ethics
We advocate for fair and transparent employment practices and raise awareness about the importance and benefits of declared work. Our goal is to support both nannies and employers in building respectful, compliant, and sustainable working relationships.
2. Improving Childcare Quality
We offer training and professional development opportunities to strengthen the skills, knowledge, and confidence of in-home childcare professionals, contributing to higher quality care for children.
3. Providing Information & Awareness
We organize events, share reliable resources, and create opportunities for learning and exchange. By doing so, we aim to inform, connect, and strengthen the childcare community in Switzerland.
4. Advocacy & Representation
We act as a voice for nannies by advocating for fair working conditions, appropriate wages, and professional recognition. We engage in discussions and decision-making processes that impact the profession, ensuring that nannies are represented and heard.
