All of Graubünden: one office, one registration
Every municipality, one office: SVA Graubünden.
Register in GraubündenIn brief
Do I even have to register my nanny?
Yes. Short and honest. As soon as someone works in your home and you set the wage and hours, she's your employee. From the very first hour, with no minimum workload. Sounds like a hassle. With Clino it takes 5 minutes.
No minimum hours
Even 4 hours a week count. There's no threshold below which it's "not necessary".
From the very first franc
AHV (old-age insurance), ALV (unemployment insurance) and UVG (accident insurance) are mandatory. The CHF 2'300 exemption does not apply to household employees.
It protects you
If an accident happens without a policy, the Ersatzkasse UVG pays - and charges you substitute premiums. Registered, you're on the safe side.
UNDECLAREDThe dark reality.
- ✕No contract: in a dispute, only what you both remember counts
- ✕Accident: the substitute fund pays, you owe 5 years of premiums
- ✕AHV: 5 years of back contributions, fine up to CHF 10'000
REGISTEREDThe bright reality.
- ✓NAV contract: holidays, notice and sick pay settled
- ✓Accident cover from the very first hour
- ✓AHV years for her, payslips for you

DRAG THE LINE: WHERE DOES YOUR HOUSEHOLD STAND?
Sorting it out later
Been paying for a while with no registration? No drama.
Many families pay cash at first and only realise later that they should have registered. This can be put right, and the sooner the easier.
1
Register retroactively
The SVA Graubünden accepts back-dated registrations. The sooner you do it, the smaller the back-payment.
2
Clino sets everything up
We help with the back-registration and take over the ongoing payroll from now on.
3
Peace of mind, not risk
You're properly set up: before any inspection comes.
Tax deduction Graubünden
Registered? Then get something back.
You can deduct childcare costs. With a marginal tax rate of ~21% in Graubünden, that means up to around CHF 2'580/year back per child. Canton of Graubünden: childcare costs are deductible cantonally (check the maximum amount with the cantonal tax office), and federally up to CHF 25'800/child (2026).
The condition is a wage statement (Lohnausweis). Which you only get with properly registered childcare. One more reason to do it right.
Comparison Graubünden
Nanny or daycare: what suits you?
Full-time daycare (Kita) per child vs. a full-time nanny (40 hrs/week). CHF/month, before subsidies.
Daycare (1 child, 100%)CHF 2'100
Nanny (40 hrs/week)CHF 5'017
• From 2 children on, a nanny quickly becomes cheaper than daycare.
• A tax deduction of up to CHF 25'800/child (federal) is also possible.

Important on scope: per SECO's information sheet (as of 1.1.2026, section 2.1) the federal NAV Hauswirtschaft expressly excludes "persons mainly responsible for childcare (childminders and babysitters)". For a pure childcare role there is therefore no federal minimum wage. The rates shown here are then a reference, not an obligation. Where the nanny also does substantial housework, the NAV applies. Cantonal minimum wages apply regardless.
If she falls ill: how long you keep paying the wage
How many days of full wage you owe in Graubünden depends on the year of service. This is the table that binds here when no policy sits behind it.
The cantonal NAV in Graubünden describes sick-pay insurance without requiring it. The choice is yours.

FAQ Graubünden
Frequently asked questions
Do I really have to register my nanny: even for just a few hours?
Yes. For household employees there is no minimum number of hours and no de-minimis threshold. From the very first franc you must pay AHV/IV/EO, ALV and UVG accident insurance. The exemption for very small wages (CHF 2'300/year) explicitly does not apply to nannies and other household employees. Paying a nanny in cash and unregistered is undeclared work.
I've been paying my nanny without registering her for a while: what now?
No need to panic. You can register the employment retroactively (back-registration with the SVA Graubünden). The sooner you do it, the smaller the back-payment and you avoid fines if it comes to light during an inspection. Clino helps you with the back-registration and then sets up the ongoing payroll automatically.
What exactly does Clino handle for me?
Registration with the SVA Graubünden, an employment contract under the NAV Hauswirtschaft (standard household-employment contract), a UVG policy we compare and prepare the application for, monthly payroll, the wage statement (Lohnausweis) and the annual declaration. You only enter the workload and wage. We take care of the paperwork. CHF 19.90/month, cancel anytime.

SVA Graubünden. Simplified billing via AHVeasy or by post.
