Our vision

Nidino's vision is to achieve a better work-family balance for everyone - regardless of whether you look after your children externally or by yourself.

Nidino enables parents to financially compensate their current own childcare by adding more children to their family. At the same time, we are creating new and more flexible childcare places in a family environment for other families.

Our origins

Parents in Switzerland are struggling with inflexible, too few and expensive childcare options.

Home nurseries offer many benefits, such as personal attention and flexible hours. That is why we created Nidino to revolutionize day care and address the core problems of the Swiss care system.

The idea was born from Sarah and Chris' experiences: Sarah was looking for flexible care for her son, while Chris saw the economic opportunity to innovate the industry.

Sarah's Story

She had a succesful career but when her son was born, everything changed. Unable to reduce her hours, and with no option for her son to attend a daycare, she faced the difficult choice of staying home. Frustrated and longing for meaningful work, she took a leap that changed her life. She opened her home to care for other children, finding purpose and, eventually, the inspiration to co-found Nidino.

Our community

At Nidino, we attach great importance to a community that is characterized by local proximity. This not only promotes familiarity, but also strong partnerships between home nurseries and parents.

Our childminders are selected in such a way that they are optimally accessible for working parents — whether close to home or work. This makes it easier to pick up and drop off as well as spontaneous visits.
