BeeBoo

BeeBoo is a childcare recruitment agency at Rue de la Corraterie 5 in Geneva that supplies nannies and babysitters for weddings in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud. Its site calls it "a specialist in wedding babysitters in Geneva and wedding nannies in Geneva and the canton of Vaud", and it publishes in English and French, which makes it easy to brief from abroad.

What BeeBoo does

Weddings are one line of a broader childcare business. The site's menu covers booking a nanny, booking a maternity nurse, administrative management of a family's nanny, events, occasional babysitting and gift vouchers, company and partnership childcare, a tariffs page, job openings for candidates, and training. The wedding service sits under events, and the agency describes itself as an "expert in childcare recruitment in the Geneva and Vaud cantons".

For a wedding, that means BeeBoo finds and sends qualified, experienced nannies or babysitters to look after the children among the guests, so their parents can take part in the day. The page's own summary is that BeeBoo "and its swarm of qualified nannies and baby-sitters will take care of your youngest guests!"

The wedding page: a planner's view

The wedding page is written as an interview with Anicia, a wedding planner from A Dream Wedding, dated January 4, 2025. It is useful because it answers the questions a couple would ask.

On what worries couples, Anicia says brides and grooms often fear children will disrupt important moments like the ceremony or dinner. They want the children to be safe and not bored, so the parents can enjoy the day, and they look for childcare that will not disturb the event.

On staffing, she says: "In general, we recommend one nanny for 3 to 4 children if they're very young. For older children, it may be a little more, depending on the activities and organization set up for the big day." That is a planner's rule of thumb rather than a BeeBoo tariff, but it gives a couple a starting point for estimating how many nannies to book.

On what to look for in a wedding nanny, she names "experience, animation skills adapted to the age of the children and a lot of kindness", and adds that a pedagogical approach matters, because nannies must offer stimulating activities while respecting the children's needs. Of BeeBoo itself she says: "We've worked together several times and everything has always gone perfectly."

Asked about the advantages for parents, she says a dedicated team lets them enjoy the wedding in peace of mind: the children are "kept busy, safe and accompanied", and parents do not have to look for childcare on their own.

What the children do

The interview lists the activities usually organized at weddings: "creative workshops with painting, coloring or make-up, group games, as well as play areas equipped with toys and mats for the little ones". It also describes mealtimes: "The children are seated at a dedicated table, and the nannies help them eat if necessary." That frees parents to enjoy their dinner.

The page presents these as what can be organized, not as a fixed package. Which activities happen, and who supplies the materials and the play area, is part of the booking conversation; the page does not say whether BeeBoo brings toys, mats and craft supplies or whether the venue provides a room.

Credentials on the page

The page says "BeeBoo's babysitting service is one of Marie Claire's must-see wedding addresses", with a link to the magazine's list. It also points to an interview with Andréa, one of BeeBoo's babysitters, about a typical wedding day, and to related articles, including one on its babysitters for weddings and one with another wedding planner, Antara Cortez of Quilla Emotion. The agency links to a maternity nurse training program at Pop.Pins Academy and to a guide to nanny rates in Geneva. Recent blog posts cover occasional evening babysitting in Geneva and a temporary nanny service for parents traveling on business. For a wedding weekend, that is worth knowing: guests with small children staying in Geneva may want a sitter for a welcome dinner or the evening before, and the same agency offers occasional babysitting.

Contact and booking

BeeBoo's office is at Rue de la Corraterie 5, 1204 Geneva. The site says it receives clients and candidates "by appointment only", and telephone reception runs Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on +41 22 751 50 18. Email goes to bee-boo@bee-boo.ch, and there is an "Inquire" button and a nanny booking form.

The page ends by inviting couples to contact BeeBoo for "a personalized rate estimate". For a couple planning from abroad, the practical first message would give the date, the venue, the number and ages of the children, and the hours the nannies are needed.

Language

The site is in English and French, with a language switch. The wedding page is in English. It does not say which languages the nannies speak, which matters when young guests come from several countries; couples should list the children's languages when they inquire and ask BeeBoo to match them.

What the page leaves open

The wedding page publishes no prices; a tariffs page is linked separately, and wedding rates come as a personalized estimate. It does not state a minimum booking length, how far ahead to book, whether nannies can stay late into the evening, or whether travel to a venue outside Geneva is charged. It does not say how BeeBoo selects or checks its nannies beyond Anicia's statement that they are "selected with care and professionalism". Questions about children's allergies or special needs are for the booking conversation; the page does not address them.

Who it suits

BeeBoo suits couples marrying in Geneva or the canton of Vaud who expect children among their guests and want trained nannies to run a children's corner, supervise the meal and keep the ceremony calm. Because the site and the wedding page are in English, it is an easy choice to contact for couples planning from abroad. It suits couples less if the wedding is outside Geneva and Vaud, the only areas the page names, or if they want a published price before making contact.
