Lisbon's best babysitters, trusted by expats like you

Hiring Gal Azulay as a babysitter was a great decision. She's incredibly sweet and her ability to speak three languages impressed me. The level of creativity she brought into the activities with my 3-year-old was fantastic, and she had an intuitive understanding of my child's needs, from hunger cues to diaper changes. What stood out was her commitment; she even checked in on us two days later, which showed how much my daughter meant to her. Gal arrived early, prepared but didn't need to drive us anywhere, which worked out perfectly. I could work remotely without any interruptions while Gal kept my daughter engaged with playing, dancing, singing, and story-reading from 10 AM to 5 PM.

I've had to find someone to fill in for me as a nanny on several occasions, and Isabel is the only person I trust with that responsibility. Observing her with the children, it's clear she has a wonderful bond with them; the love and connection are just heartwarming. Isabel stands out because of her patience and calm demeanor—she's always smiling. She prioritizes the baby's needs above all else, ensuring they're well-cared-for before they even leave the house. Plus, she's spot-on when it comes to choosing age-appropriate toys for the kids. Whenever I need backup and Isabel is available, she steps in flexibly and happily. She’s truly a gem!

I've been using PetizEmLinha for many years now, and I was actually one of their first three customers. Margarida has been leading the service impeccably all this time. It's been a decade, and they've become my go-to for babysitting. They really know how to handle children; when I started, my daughter was four years old, my son was two and a half, and I had just given birth to my third child. There have been times when I needed night support because I had gone back to work and my baby wouldn't sleep through the night. We've even relied on them during summer vacations so we could have some extra help. Their service is so good that I've recommended them to all of my friends.

I had the pleasure of hiring Vanessa from Elite Nanny Care as a maternity nanny for my middle child when I was in Portugal, and she was absolutely fantastic. As a mother of three young kids, I found her to be extremely flexible and accommodating, even with her own family commitments. Vanessa was always on time, often arriving early, ready to take care of everything my baby needed - bathing, night feeds, you name it. Her guidance and advice were invaluable; she taught me so much about caring for newborns and even helped sleep-train my son later on. She also provided great educational tips for my older child. Vanessa's ability to juggle household tasks like dishes while providing top-notch childcare is incredible. I completely trust her with my children and would hire her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
