Find a Nanny in Sweden

Moving to a new country is enough. Childcare shouldn't add to the uncertainty. We'll learn what your family needs, find the right nanny, and guide you through every step — in English.

Childcare in Sweden — how it works

Sweden's childcare system is generous, but navigating it as a newcomer takes time. Here's a quick guide to the three main options.

Dagis (Förskola)

Municipal preschool for children aged 1–5. Heavily subsidised (max ~1,500 SEK/month), but waitlists run months long — especially in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Apply the moment you arrive.

Fritids

After-school care for ages 6–12, typically 06:00–08:00 and 14:00–18:00. Most schools offer it, but hours are fixed. If your schedule doesn't align, you'll need supplementary care.

Nanny / Barnvakt

A private nanny fills the gaps — mornings, evenings, weekends, school holidays, or full-time while you wait for a dagis spot. This is where we come in.

How we find your nanny

One carefully chosen candidate at a time — presented by a personal advisor who's already learned what your family needs.

English-speaking advisors

Your advisor speaks fluent English. No translation apps, no miscommunication. Intake, matching, and introductions all happen in your language.

One match at a time

No list of profiles to scroll through. We present one carefully matched candidate at a time, with a meeting guide and decision support.

Background-checked candidates

Every candidate is screened against Swedish criminal records, certified in infant CPR, and interviewed in person. References are verified before you're introduced.
