AGENCY MEMBERS
SNA is more than just a voluntary membership organization; it's a community of professional nannies and agencies dedicated to promoting and practicing the best industry standards. We are proud to have reputable agency members who share our belief in the importance of quality childcare.
Our agency members are not just here to support us; they are here to support you, employers and nannies alike. When it comes to finding the perfect match, we encourage families and nannies to choose a licensed nanny agency.

Welcome to our nanny agency, a unique and caring service dedicated to supporting nannies across Switzerland. At our agency, we hold a distinct commitment to both nannies and families, and we take pride in connecting nannies with families who not only seek childcare assistance but also value and respect the worth of their dedicated caregivers. Our mission is to create harmonious and nurturing environments for both nannies and the families they serve. We believe that exceptional childcare starts with happy and well-supported nannies, and it is our pleasure to facilitate these valuable connections.
