Do I need a childcare qualification?

No. Families look at your experience, your references and your languages. A childcare or first aid course is welcome and shows on your profile as a verified badge.

Are evenings and weekends possible?

Yes. You set your availability in the app, including evenings and weekends, and families book only the times you offer.

Who is my employer when I look after children?

The family is your employer for the hours you work for them. Helpore prepares the contract, pays the social contributions and the accident insurance, and issues your payslip.

Do I need a work permit?

You need the right to work in Switzerland: Swiss citizenship, a settlement or residence permit, or a registration under the 90 day procedure for short stays. Helpore checks it during verification.

How fast can I start?

Most Helpers are verified within a few days of uploading their documents. Once your profile is public, households can book you immediately.

What does Helpore cost me?

Nothing as a Helper. Households pay Helpore's fee on top of your wage. Your hourly rate is yours.

Who employs you

The household is your employer for the hours you work for it, as Swiss law provides for domestic work. Helpore is the platform in between: it draws up the contract, calculates and pays AHV, IV, EO, ALV and the accident insurance, withholds source tax where it applies, issues your monthly payslip and the yearly wage statement, and pays your net wage on the agreed date. You never chase a household for money.
