Qualified emergency child care for at home

For all students, employees and academic staff

What to do if an unforeseen professional emergency situation arises and no suitable childcare can be found at short notice?

A professional team of educators, child minders and children's nurses will come to your home or care for your children individually at the university.

Care

  • Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8 pm
  • For a minimum of two hours and a maximum of six hours daily by arrangement
  • For babies from three months and children up to ten years of age
  • For a maximum of three consecutive days of care (possibly with different caregivers)
  • You can book the NFB up to a maximum of four weeks in advance.
  • The carer looks after the children at the family's home or at the university; it is also possible to collect the children from the day nursery or school.
  • Please note that children with symptoms of illness (cough, fever, cold or gastrointestinal complaints) can only be cared for on presentation of a negative PCR test that is not older than 48 hours.
  • Please note that emergency care cannot be provided in Switzerland due to the Swiss Posted Workers Act (EntsG). Assignments are only possible in Germany.

Testimonials

Emergency child care is important to me...

...because if you don't have any family nearby, it is very reassuring to know that our sick children are in loving hands.
...because it is important for us professionally to have flexible care or emergency care.
...because I am very busy at work and it is always difficult to find a balance. And because with emergency care I know that the children are well looked after. If it weren't for the emergency care, I would have to build up a network of babysitters.
...because we both work and need care when the children are sick or the day care centre is closed.
...because it allows me to keep professional appointments when no one else can help.
