Hi all,

New in town and want to know how to find registered babysitters in Winterthur ZH?

I visited my local Germinde and was told they dont have a list, which i thought was odd because i was told by many people that's where to go....I'm a bit stuck now for what to do, any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

Trina

We use local kids - older sisters etc of children in the same class as our kids

Otherwise:

Adds at the local supermarket

Flyers in Letterboxes

I guess it depends how old your children are.

It's a pity you didn't put your locality in the title of your Thread - it always helps to get the right people's eye.

Maybe you could define what you mean by 'babysitter'. I'm not splitting hairs, but in my youth 'babysitter' meant someone (perhaps a teenager as FriendlyKiwi says) who, for small payment (and access to the fridge!!) looked after smaller children who were usually in bed and often asleep. These days the word is sometimes used as a synomym for Nannie, Child Minder, Mother's help.

The Parish might have a list of the latter and I believe the Red Cross does a course for young girls (and lads?) interested in babysitting (evenings) and could have list of youngsters who have 'qualified'.

If you don't have any luck there, try Googling something like 'Mutterverein', 'Familienverein' and the name of the place you will be living in. This might bring some information up. Good luck in the search.

Try it over http://www.muetterzentrum.ch/ in your region. They should be able to help you.

You can also check http://www.liliput.ch to maybe find someone.

my daughter is available for babysitting, she is 16 and was going to start a childcare course at college before we moved to CH. she speaks english and a little german and currently attends language school

we live in dachsen which is on the direct trainline to winterthur, if you are interested, let me know.

Or what about this list ?

Google is my friend.

I was a bit disappointed to see that you had been on-line but had not reacted to my request for a definition of ‘Babysitter’ in my previous post. It really makes it a lot easier for people to help if more information is forthcoming. Judging by the other answers and links given, I may not be the only one for whom your question is unclear.

Hi Trina,

I just joined a babysitting/nanny agency called care4kids in Zürich, I am not sure if they do Wintherthur but it's worth a shot.

They have nannies and babysitters according to your preference. Being a nanny/babysitter myself at the agency they have a brilliant 90 minute interview with prospective nannies/babysitters and all references are checked! So you can be sure to get a qualified nanny/babysitter.

Have a look at their website it might interest you:

Kind regards,

Stef

We are in Winterthur, We just want occasional babysitting while our child is asleep. She is 18 months old so would be in bed before we would leave.

Thanks for the clarification. Shouldn't be too difficult to find someone suitable by the look of things.

Hope it all pans out nicely.

Hello,

I'm a Nanny and looking for a nannying job from beginning of may.

I'm looking for a 80-100% work.

What kind of help you are looking for?

12
I'd also really like to find a casual baby-sitter and I am wondering if it's possible to find an adult who'll take 15 CHF an hour, what do you guys think?

Thanks

L.

A teenager, most likely.

An adult doing this job as a profession - unlikely.

But maybe a friend / neighbour / fellow parent from school - maybe. But you'll have to ask them directly

Consider running a "babysitting club" where like-minded parents offer each other babysitting duties. The idea is that all do the same amount of babysitting for each other. And someone keeps a book of who's done what for whom.

We did this in NZ, was very successful, and great for socialising.
