Madrid

There aren’t many babysitting agencies in Madrid. However, there are many Web sites where individual babysitters advertise their qualifications, availability and price. The lack of babysitting companies reflects the Spanish culture of taking children everywhere adults go, including the theatre, cafes and restaurants. Spanish children are seen out with their parents until the late night from a very young age.

The following Web sites can help with your babysitter search:

AsistHogar
