What is Nanny.nu?
Nanny.nu is a personal nanny matching service that connects families across Sweden with carefully selected childcare professionals. Every candidate undergoes a criminal background check and is certified in infant CPR. A dedicated nanny specialist guides the family from intake to an in-person meeting with the matched nanny — with no commitment until the family is ready.
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.

Vad familjer säger
“The meeting guide meant we knew exactly what to ask and look for. Afterwards, we sat down with our specialist and went through everything. We felt completely confident in the decision.”
“We could follow the entire process in our matching room — every step was visible and we always knew what was happening next. From the first form to meeting our nanny took 9 days.”
“We tried another service first and felt like just a number in a queue. With Nanny.nu we had a dedicated person who knew our family's situation and guided us the whole way.”
“We trust Clara completely. She's always quick to respond and communicate, which is great. We feel she has a good dialogue with our children too.”
“Klara is the best nanny we've had. Always cheerful, the children's favourite, always tidied up after activities, reliable, on time. Top marks.”
“Sofia takes great responsibility and has a natural way with children. The children are so happy when Sofia is coming to babysit.”

What does a nanny cost through Nanny.nu?
From 199 SEK per hour after the RUT tax deduction. RUT-avdrag is a Swedish tax deduction for household services. If you pay Swedish income tax, you can deduct 50% of the cost — up to 75,000 SEK per person per year. We handle the paperwork.
The price includes:
- Employment — your nanny is employed by us, not a freelancer
- Liability insurance — full coverage during every assignment
- Pension contributions — per collective agreement
- Background check — via the Swedish Police Authority
- CPR certification — infant CPR and first aid
- Personal specialist — throughout the entire process
You purchase a Time Bank and use the hours when it suits you — evenings, weekends, or weekdays, with no surcharge.
