Why people book this in Bucharest

Trust comes first

Leaving your child with someone new is a big step. Babysitter profiles are self-declared, and we do not run identity, credential, or background checks yet, so we will label it plainly on the profile rather than imply otherwise.

Care that follows your schedule

An evening out, school pickup, or steady weekly help — at launch you will be able to look for care that fits your family routine, not the other way around.

Clear expectations from the start

Hourly pricing and clearly stated availability make it easier to choose someone who genuinely fits your family.

Questions about launch and booking

How much does a babysitter cost per hour in Bucharest and Ilfov?
Babysitting rates in Bucharest and Ilfov typically range from 25 to 45 RON per hour. Rates may vary based on the number of children, specific care requirements, and whether the booking is for daytime, evening, or overnight. On Pontio, every babysitter displays their hourly rate clearly so you can compare options easily.
Does Pontio screen babysitters?
Not yet, and childcare is exactly the category where that gap matters most. Law 167/2014 sets the legal standard for professional caregivers in Romania, including a clean criminal record, medical fitness, and relevant childcare qualifications — that requirement already binds any babysitter working in Romania, independent of Pontio. We intend to align with that standard before this category opens for booking. Today, before launch, a babysitter profile is self-declared like every other category, and we label it plainly rather than imply a check that has not happened.
Can I book a babysitter for a one-time event or only recurring?
Both options are available. Whether you need a babysitter for a single evening out, a weekend trip, or regular part-time or full-time childcare, you can find the right fit on Pontio. Just filter by availability type, and you will see babysitters who match your needs.
What should I look for when choosing a babysitter on Pontio?
Check the babysitter profile for self-declared experience, certifications (like first aid training), and listed availability, and use the in-app chat to ask anything that matters to you before you book. Reviews on Pontio can only be left by families who booked through the platform, so as bookings build up after launch you will see feedback from real families.
Does Pontio offer full-time nanny services or only occasional babysitting?
Pontio covers the full range of childcare needs. You can find occasional babysitters for a few hours, part-time caregivers for regular weekly schedules, and full-time nannies for daily childcare. Each professional specifies the type of arrangements they offer, so you can quickly find someone who matches your family routine.
