Babysitting
Babysitting platforms and agencies in Luxembourg that run their own checks on sitters.
Babysits
Online marketplace for babysitters, nannies and childminders, listing 497 active babysitters in Luxembourg (average EUR 15.90 per hour). Joining is free but free members can only reply to messages; Premium (EUR 24.99 per month, or EUR 99.96 per year) lets parents start conversations. All members pass ID verification before messaging.
Babysitting.lu
Free national platform where parents search for, chat with and book trained babysitters. Every sitter completes at least eight hours of training with an accredited partner organisation (communication, paediatric illnesses, child development, activities) and profiles are only activated after a check by that partner.
Yoopies Luxembourg
Online platform where families post an ad and contact babysitters, nannies and childminders across Luxembourg; the same site also covers cleaning, elderly care, pet sitting and tutoring. Yoopies says it checks sitters' identity documents and work rights, and profiles show reviews from previous families. No agency fees are charged.
Choosing a babysitter in Luxembourg
A good babysitter gives you a few hours off and gives your children someone they look forward to seeing. Before you book, meet the sitter in person, ideally with your children, and ask about their experience with kids of the same age. References from other families are worth checking, and a first-aid course for babies and children is a real plus.
Language matters in Luxembourg. Many families look for a sitter who speaks Luxembourgish, French, German or English, or the language spoken at home. Agree on the practical things up front: hourly rate, bedtime routine, screen time, allergies and who to call in an emergency (112 in Luxembourg). If you employ a babysitter directly, even for a few hours, check your obligations as a household employer with the Centre commun de la sécurité sociale (CCSS). For regular childcare during working hours, you can also look at parental assistants (assistants parentaux), who are approved by the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth and can take part in the chèque-service accueil (CSA) scheme.
Ministry-approved parental assistants (assistants parentaux)
In Luxembourg, parental assistants are childminders approved by the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth. Approved assistants can take part in the chèque-service accueil (CSA) scheme, and families can find them through the official list and map.

If you employ a babysitter or parental assistant directly, check your obligations as a household employer with the CCSS.

Kannerlux does not list individual babysitters, because we cannot check them. Sign up with babysitting.lu, the national platform that trains its sitters and checks every profile. Babysitting agencies can list here.
