| I want to hire a person to live in with me and look after 1 child. I know all about the au pair and nannies and the difference in salaries. I seem to have found a woman to work for me,she willing to work for an au pair salary but doesnt meet to requirements of a au pair (age) and but I cant afford to pay a nannies salary.
Can any one give me some advice as to what I can do. The woman has Swiss citizenship. Also can anyone help me, how do you declare this woman as a employee, do I have to pay her taxes, how do pay her taxes, just say her salary is 1400 including board, what am i going to expect in regards social charges, taxes and accident insurance?
There loads of info here but some I don't really understand, can anyone spell it out for me... | |

If you found someone, why are you advertising for an
au pair? And given yor idea of an acceptable wage, how do you pay the "great holidays" on offer?
But OK, I'll take the bait: The info you need is available in these threads
The Au Pair/Nanny employment thread (no ads!)
Minimum wage for nanny
The consensus seems to be that CHF 3'500 is the minimum for someone who is remotely qualified, and that you can deduct about CHF 1'000 for full board. Social security is on top of that.
CHF 1'400 for full-time qualified employment is wide off the mark, heck, social security (AKA The Dole) for a single person is CHF 977 per month plus rent. Universite de Lausanne recommends CHF 330 for a student live-in Babysitter (after deduction for full board,
