Hiring and insuring a nanny online made easy.

The new nanny has been found, and ever­yone is looking forward to the start. As the future employer, you are now respon­si­ble for regis­tering and insu­ring the nanny as well as ensu­ring timely salary payments. If this feels like too much effort, you can turn to our coope­ra­tion part­ner “quitt.”

Quitt takes care of all legal requi­re­ments for you and ensu­res correct employ­ment, insu­rance, and profes­sio­nal admi­nis­tra­tion of your nanny.

1. Conclude an Employ­ment Contract

Even in a private house­hold, an employ­ment contract is the core of the working rela­ti­onship. While not legally manda­tory, it provi­des a clear legal frame­work for working hours, vaca­tion entit­le­ment, and salary.
Tip: N4YK Nanny4yourkid provi­des sample employ­ment contracts tail­o­red speci­fi­cally to the needs of private employers.

2. Regis­tra­tion and Insu­rance Obligations

If you employ a nanny part-time or full-time, you must regis­ter her with the health insu­rance provi­der, social secu­rity autho­ri­ties, tax office, etc. In many cases, the family’s tax advi­sor hand­les this by regis­tering the nanny and mana­ging monthly payroll. Be sure to regis­ter all house­hold-rela­ted employ­ment (inclu­ding mini-jobs), other­wise you risk fines and lack of insu­rance coverage.
Tip: If the admi­nis­tra­tive effort feels over­whel­ming, leave regis­tra­tion and employ­ment to our coope­ra­tion part­ner “quitt.” Quitt takes care of regis­tra­tion, insu­rance, and payroll for your private baby­sit­ter, nanny, or housekeeper.

3. Proper Hand­ling of Contin­ued Pay & Vacation

A nanny is entit­led to paid vaca­tion — at least the statu­tory mini­mum. In cases of illness or on public holi­days, salary must conti­nue to be paid, even for mini-jobs.
Tip: Keep a simple time-track­ing record or over­view to docu­ment vaca­tion and absen­ces. This can easily be done via an app. You can find the best time-track­ing tools HERE.

4. Make Use of Tax Benefits

Private child­care, such as employ­ing a nanny or child­care worker, is tax-deduc­ti­ble. This also includes proces­sing or place­ment fees char­ged by a nanny agency if you hire a profes­sio­nal agency to find your nanny.
Tip: Until 2024, up to €4,000 per child per year could be clai­med as special expen­ses. From 2025, this amount increa­ses to €4,800 — meaning child­care costs of up to €4,800 per child can be deduc­ted from taxes.
More infor­ma­tion on the tax deduc­ti­bi­lity of child­care costs can be found HERE.

Conclu­sion

Employ­ing a nanny means addi­tio­nal respon­si­bi­li­ties for you as a private employer. Howe­ver, this effort can be easily avoided by entrus­ting the regis­tra­tion and insu­rance of your nanny to our coope­ra­tion part­ner “quitt.” Quitt also hand­les all commu­ni­ca­tion and admi­nis­tra­tive proces­ses with autho­ri­ties and insu­rance provi­ders on your behalf.
