Nestora is looking for Babysitters in Geneva

A Wednesday afternoon, an evening now and then, every Saturday night: babysitting slots into a student's or a working person's timetable like few other activities. In Geneva, families look every week for someone reliable to look after their children; Nestora puts you in touch with them, with no agency in between.

Childcare that fits your calendar

Each request shows the date, start and end time, neighbourhood and the children's ages - from toddlers to preteens. The age groups you are comfortable with appear on your profile, and you only reply to the jobs that suit you: nobody imposes a schedule on you. Parents can also specify what they expect during the job: meals, bath, bedtime, homework help.

What families look at on your profile

• Your experience with children: regular babysitting, siblings, youth work, summer camps, early childhood
• Your first-aid certifications if you have any - Samaritans, BLS-AED, IVR - with the date obtained
• The languages you speak: in Geneva, many families look for childcare in English, German or Portuguese
• Your hourly rate, which you set freely and collect directly, with no commission from Nestora

Before the first job

To appear to families, you provide an identity document, a criminal record extract and a recent photo, checked by our team, and you hold liability insurance. Once the job is confirmed by the parents, you receive their contact details and the exact address; until then, only the neighbourhood and the time slot are visible - discretion works both ways.

Signing up takes a few minutes on the Nestora app. Enter your availability, your age groups and your rate: the first childcare requests in Geneva can arrive the same evening.

Nestora is neither a placement agency, nor an employer, nor a payment intermediary. The app connects Geneva families with providers for one-off assignments: the contract is concluded directly between you and the client, who pays you in full, with no commission.

You work under your own responsibility. It is up to you to complete the administrative, social-insurance and tax formalities related to your activity: AVS registration, accident insurance, declaring your income, and a residence and work permit if you are not a Swiss national. For regular babysitting at a family's home, the family may be considered an employer under Swiss law; in Geneva, Chèque service files the declarations on its behalf.

Official information: employing household staff (ge.ch), OCAS - household employer, OCAS - self-employment, standard employment contracts in force in Geneva.
