LSS Childcare - Respite Service with Structure

What LSS childcare means

LSS - Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade - is Sweden's law guaranteeing support and services for people with certain disabilities. For families with children who have disabilities, one of the most important support forms is respite service (avlösarservice): regular relief so parents can rest, handle errands, or spend time with other children.

Nanny.nu provides the childcare, matched and quality-assured. The municipality funds it through the family's LSS decision. The result is professional care that fits your child's specific needs - without the administrative burden falling on the family.

How it works in practice

The process starts with your LSS decision. If you've been granted respite service hours, those hours fund the care. Nanny.nu handles everything else: finding the right candidate, managing employment and insurance, and providing ongoing support.

Your advisor works with you to understand your child's needs - routines, communication approaches, medical requirements, and what works and doesn't work based on your experience. The matching criteria are more specific than for standard childcare because the stakes of a poor fit are higher.

We also coordinate with your municipality's LSS case worker when needed. Documentation, reporting, and quality follow-up are built into the service so the municipality's requirements are met without extra effort from you.

Candidates with the right experience

LSS childcare demands candidates with specific skills. Depending on your child's needs, this might include experience with physical disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, intellectual disabilities, or complex medical needs.

Every candidate matched for LSS assignments goes through enhanced screening. Beyond our standard six-step vetting process, we verify relevant training, experience with the specific type of disability, and references from comparable care situations.

Continuity and documentation

For children with disabilities, consistency in caregivers is especially important. Transitions disrupt routines and create stress. By matching one candidate and maintaining that relationship, we minimize disruption.

Your matching room serves as the documentation hub - care plans, incident notes, schedule changes, and communication between you, the candidate, and your advisor. Everything is traceable and available when the municipality requests follow-up information.
