Babysitting from a neighbour

Yepstr has increased its popularity since our launch in 2015. Today, we have more babysitters than any other service in Sweden. Hiring a babysitter is not the same as hiring a someone to mow your lawn. Babysitting is, what we call, a relationship service. We know it’s very important for you to be comfortable with your babysitter so that you can have a long and successful relationship.

Babysitting that everyone can afford

The hourly rate of a babysitter is on average 120 SEK/hour after RUT-deduction depending on age and level. You can easily pay through the Yepstr app. To make sure that you are comfortable with your babysitter we recommend that you book interviews, which of course are completely free of charge.

Safe & secure with BankID

We know that the step of handing over responsibility for their children to someone else can be difficult to take. And many therefore choose to take help from relatives and friends that you know and trust because it feels safe and secure. But not everyone has that opportunity. Many have family in another place, perhaps even in another country. We know that, and that's exactly why we exist.

All young people who are looking for assignments via Yepstr register and identify themselves with BankID, just like you. In this way, we keep track of and can verify all our users. Safe, secure and easy.
