Swiss childcare redefined

NIDINO

Nidino creates a solution for a better compatibility of work and family

Through our comprehensive support, fair remuneration and digitalised, user-friendly processes, we inspire & empower more professionals and career changers to work as professional childminders, thereby increasing the currently insufficient childcare provision in Switzerland.

Parents in Switzerland struggle with inflexible, too few and expensive childcare options. According to a UNICEF study on childcare, Switzerland ranks last (38th out of 41) among developed nations. The reasons for this are a high ratio of caregivers to children, high costs and a shortage of supply - there is currently a shortage of around 7,000 childcare places.

At the same time, and probably because of this, there are currently more than 500,000 inactive or part-time (0-50%) working parents in Switzerland, who suffer considerable losses in disposable income and pension provision as a result. 

Nidino brings these two target group needs together through a comprehensive and largely digitalised offer.

Nidino helps parents to become involved as daycare families and thus compensate for part of the loss of income. At the same time, an offer is created that creates new childcare places in a family environment.

No path too far, no mountain too high, no adventure too great - Christian loves challenges, both professionally and privately, whether on a racing bike, in the preparation of culinary delights or in the development of business units in Southeast Asia.

He can always rely on his strategic compass, which he acquired during his studies at the HSG and his positions in management consulting and in two large Swiss companies. 

At Aquilas, he uses this compass to optimally put our innovative driving force on the road.

Anthony found his way to Aquilas directly after completing his Master's degree in Business Innovation at the HSG. Shaped by a deep passion for startups and his own entrepreneurial experience, Anthony is responsible for scouting new business models and initial concept developments. His forward thinking and strong interest in new trends gives him the edge he needs to keep his finger on the pulse.

Domi is a true all-rounder. “Can't” just isn’t a word for him. He takes on the role of machinist at Aquilas. He also brings his talent in engineering and digitalisation to the company. In his free time, you can see him whiz through the city with a fishing rod, on the love of his life – his bike. He’s probably the only person who takes all his holidays as half-days – so he can enjoy a good morning of fishing of course.

After successfully completing his studies and starting his career in the big canton, Martin has looked after numerous well-known clients in recent years as a managing partner on the agency side, gaining many exciting insights behind the scenes of the "big players". He is now using this to ignite the next rocket stage at Aquilas Marketing. Thanks to his Baden composure™, even the tightest deadlines don't make him sweat.

It remains an unsolved mystery what it takes to put Patrick in a bad mood - no one has managed to do so yet. If this Zurich native isn't out engaging in sports or savoring culinary delights, you're certain to find him at one of the HeadsQuarter locations, looking after the well-being of all members and employees.

Patrick's well-rounded qualities can be attributed to his diverse experience as a host in countries such as China, South Africa, and Switzerland, as well as to his studies at the Swiss Hotel Management School in Lucerne.
