About the Role

We are a binational US/Swiss family with a 1½-year-old daughter seeking a reliable individual to join our family. The responsibilities include:

• Providing full-time care for our daughter, which involves planning age-appropriate activities and accompanying her on outings and appointments (feeding, naps, play, and short outdoor walks).
• Planning and cooking healthy meals in accordance with family dietary guidelines.
• Managing household tasks, including laundry, light housekeeping, and errands.

The desired start date for this position is December 29, 2025.

Working Pattern

The expected working hours are Monday to Friday, approximately 07:00 to 18:00, with a 2-hour midday break, totaling around 42 hours per week. Occasional overtime will be compensated with paid time off or additional pay, in compliance with Swiss law. This role ensures a minimum of 11 hours of daily rest and one full day off per week.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a competitive salary ranging from CHF 3,630 to 4,200 per month, with the final offer depending on experience and qualifications. Additionally, you will enjoy:

• Four paid weeks of vacation per year.
• Employer-paid occupational accident insurance, with non-occupational accident insurance included (employee contribution deducted as required by law).
• Registration with the Swiss social insurance system, using the simplified payroll scheme.
• If living in, board and lodging will be provided, subject to official AHV in-kind deduction rates (e.g., CHF 990/month).

Accommodation

The position includes a private furnished bedroom, a shared bathroom, full board, and Wi-Fi. Initially, we will reside in Zurich for the first year, and in December 2026, we plan to relocate to Stäfa (8712), which is just a 3-minute walk from the lake. We anticipate staying there for a long-term commitment, with easy public transport access to the lake, parks, and the city center.
