Hire a Nanny in 24h

Lighthouse Careers operates on a success-fee model with no upfront costs. You only pay when we successfully place the right Nanny for your family. Our fee is typically equivalent to one month of the Nanny's annual salary, payable only after they start work. This approach ensures we're fully committed to finding you the perfect match. There are no registration fees, advertising costs, or charges for our initial consultation and candidate shortlisting services.

Our typical placement timeline is 1-2 weeks from initial consultation to offer acceptance. We deliver your first shortlist of qualified candidates within 24 hours of receiving your requirements. This rapid turnaround is possible due to our extensive network of pre-vetted professionals and our deep understanding of the luxury staffing market in St. Moritz and surrounding Alpine regions.

For a Nanny St. Moritz position, we recommend candidates with:

• Formal childcare qualifications (CACHE, NNEB, or equivalent)
• First Aid and CPR certification
• Multilingual abilities (German, English, French, Italian preferred)
• Experience with high-net-worth families
• Winter sports knowledge and mountain safety awareness
• Discretion and confidentiality skills
• Valid Swiss work permit or EU citizenship

Our comprehensive vetting process includes enhanced DBS/criminal background checks, thorough reference verification with previous employers, qualification verification, and in-depth interviews assessing both technical skills and cultural fit. For St. Moritz positions, we also evaluate candidates' adaptability to mountain environments, winter conditions, and the unique lifestyle demands of Alpine luxury living. All candidates undergo psychometric assessments and scenario-based evaluations.

Yes, we provide a comprehensive replacement guarantee. If your Nanny St. Moritz placement doesn't work out within the first three months, we'll find you a replacement at no additional charge. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our matching process and our commitment to long-term placement success. Our goal is to create lasting employment relationships that benefit both families and staff.

St. Moritz presents unique considerations: candidates must be comfortable with alpine weather conditions, winter sports activities, and the seasonal influx of international clientele. Many families require Nannies who can accompany children on skiing trips, navigate mountain terrain safely, and adapt to the town's luxury hospitality standards. Multilingual abilities are essential given St. Moritz's international community, and discretion is paramount due to the high-profile nature of many residents and visitors.

Our comprehensive service includes initial consultation and needs assessment, candidate sourcing and screening, full background and reference checks, interview coordination, salary negotiation support, contract guidance, and ongoing placement support. We also provide market insights on current Nanny St. Moritz salary ranges, help establish clear job descriptions, and offer guidance on Swiss employment law requirements for household staff.

Simply contact us for a confidential consultation where we'll discuss your family's specific needs, lifestyle, and expectations. We'll create a detailed role specification, establish your preferences for live-in versus live-out arrangements, and understand any special requirements like language skills or winter sports experience. Within 24 hours, you'll receive your first shortlist of qualified candidates ready to hire Nanny positions in St. Moritz.

Nanny St. Moritz salaries typically range from CHF 65,000 to CHF 120,000 annually, depending on experience, qualifications, and specific requirements. Live-in positions often include accommodation, meals, and ski passes. Additional benefits may include health insurance, paid vacation, and seasonal bonuses. The premium location and high cost of living in St. Moritz, combined with the specialized skills required, command higher salaries than many other Swiss locations.

This depends on your family's needs and available accommodation. Live-in arrangements are popular in St. Moritz due to limited local housing and the ability to provide immediate childcare during early morning ski sessions or evening events. Live-out options work well if you prefer more family privacy and the candidate has local accommodation. We can help you evaluate both options based on your property layout, schedule, and long-term requirements.

Many families hiring a Nanny in St. Moritz require travel flexibility, as ultra-high-net-worth families often split time between multiple residences globally. Candidates should hold valid passports, be comfortable with international travel, and understand that seasonal relocations between summer and winter residences are common. We ensure all candidates are prepared for these requirements and hold appropriate travel documentation before presenting them to families.

Most families implement a 1-3 month probationary period to ensure compatibility. Contracts typically include detailed job descriptions, salary terms, accommodation arrangements (if live-in), vacation entitlements, and confidentiality clauses. Swiss employment law governs these arrangements, and we provide guidance on compliance requirements. Many St. Moritz positions offer seasonal contracts with renewal options, reflecting the area's tourism patterns and family residence schedules.
