Babysitters
in your valley
Need someone for the afternoon, the evening, the weekend or a holiday week? Here you find real babysitters and caregivers close to where you live, with checks that are clear and dated.
I'll help you find the right person.
This is the children section: who you'll find, what to ask, and what we actually verify.
Attentive care, not just supervision
Infants and early childhood: this is where the right person matters even more. Read the references and talk to the family before deciding.
What you can find
Only profiles with dated checks. Families who have worked with them. Introduction videos. No filters, no algorithms.
Afternoons and after school
The most requested slot of all: from school pickup to dinner time, with or without homework. Ongoing, with the same person if you want.
Early mornings and shifts
Cross-border commuters leave very early. Find someone who is genuinely available then, and who knows the Grisons public holidays — they rarely match ours.
A few hours on holiday
A morning on the slopes, an afternoon at the thermal baths, a dinner out. No subscription to cancel: there's the Tourist Pass.
Baby parking and nurseries
For continuous hours, licensed facilities publish same-day availability. See them here.
Valleys, not kilometres
Fifteen kilometres from Bormio can be ten minutes on the valley floor, or a pass closed by snow. That's why we search by valley and real travel time, not by a radius on a map. When you write to a babysitter, tell her which village you're in — not how many kilometres away.
The questions to always ask
The first meeting happens at your home, with the children present. Half an hour of questions tells you more than ten messages, and if something doesn't convince you, you don't owe anyone an explanation.
What to ask
- What ages of children has she looked after so far?
- Can I speak to a family she has worked for?
- What does she do if a child gets hurt or feels unwell?
- Has she done a paediatric first aid course?
- Is she available ongoing, or only occasionally?
- Can she show me the checks and references on her profile?
Every sitter shows and explains her checks on her profile, with the date she did them: so you know straight away what was really verified.
What we verify
- ID document, with a live selfie for confirmation
- Phone and email
- References from previous families, collected in writing by us
- Certificates and qualifications, checked with the body that issued them
- A fifteen-minute video that becomes the profile's introduction video
Every item appears on the profile with a date. What isn't on the list wasn't verified: we would rather tell you that than reassure you with an adjective.

The youngest, the most careful attention
Play, the most natural way
Walks, meals, naps: days with the youngest children need consistency, not just good will.
