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 ~23% in Valais, that means up to around CHF 2'780/year back per child. Canton of Valais: childcare costs are deductible cantonally (check the maximum amount with the cantonal tax office), and federally up to CHF 25'800/child (2026). Note the 0.13% employee FAK contribution.
The condition is a wage statement (Lohnausweis) — which you only get with properly registered childcare. One more reason to do it right.
