The annual Membership subscription model that care 4 kids has had since 1990 is very sensible because a family has access to our help for an entire year, which is about how long it takes a family to have a full-support network in place.

In Dec. 1990 Crista Cron desperately needed to find a great nanny for her own children, an experienced nanny who spoke good English and was totally reliable and fun. After running ads in the newspaper, creating and distributing fliers and asking everyone she knew, no one could help her. So through our local Community Center (GZ Hottingen) she got the initial support and over the past 28 years has built care 4 kids to be the Number 1 professional nanny service in the Greater Zurich area.

A good communication and open dialog from day one is crucial to a long-term and happy relationship with your nanny. Also, placing TRUST in the nanny and being happy that your children love her, too.

Creating a contract, signing up with the various required insurances (such as SVA, accident and illness indemnity insurance, Pension) and keeping great records are a challenge, yet care 4 kids offers the Full Administrative Set-up and Maintenance programs so that the work is minimized and you can concentrate on the positive side of having a nanny.
