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, you're personally liable without a policy. Registered, you're on the safe side.

You can deduct childcare costs — with a marginal tax rate of ~15% in Schwyz, that means up to around CHF 2'020/year back per child. Canton of Schwyz: a low tax burden, plus a cantonal childcare deduction and CHF 25'800 federal tax per child (2026). Check the exact cantonal deduction with the tax office.
The condition is a wage statement (Lohnausweis) — which you only get with properly registered childcare. One more reason to do it right.
