Take the stress out of childcare with these 5 babysitters in Malta
We’ll never forget the time we hired a sitter who, bless her, thought “baħar” meant “penguin” instead of “sea.” She came ready to teach waddling instead of beach games.
Funny now, but back then, when we started looking for babysitters in Malta, we didn’t expect a simple mix-up to turn our living room into the South Pole.
That’s why we’ve hand-picked the pros who speak both Maltese and kid—parent-tested, toddler-approved, so you can enjoy your stroll down Republic Street without having to translate every five minutes for your sitter.
| How much do babysitters charge in Malta? Babysitters in Malta typically charge between €6 and €8 per hour, depending on experience and location. However, rates vary depending on factors such as the number and age of children, the sitter’s qualifications, and demand during peak tourist seasons. |
1. Call A Nanny
Contact Details: +356 7908 5324
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Call a Nanny really raises the bar for childcare in Malta. We love their upbeat 24/7 availability, so booking late-night or last-minute sits feels totally stress-free. With their “Emergency Always Available” promise, help is truly just a click away.
Moreover, they offer a diverse roster of sitters, from nursing nannies to party animators, so parents can customise care for any occasion. Honestly, we like this flexibility because it makes childcare feel like it’s actually built around us for once.
Additionally, their transparent pricing is a major plus. We noticed there were no sneaky add-ons or upcharges—just straightforward rates that make planning a night out way less stressful.
Their streamlined match-and-book process is equally effortless.
However, it’s a bit pricier than grabbing a local sitter at the last minute. But honestly, the peace of mind makes it worth every cent.
Their Instagram’s actually helpful too. They have real sitters who provide quick parenting tips that give you a good vibe before you even book.
Professional and caring babysitting
“Thanks to Call a Nanny I had the possibility,even being far away from home, to enjoy one evening out just with my husband. They provided a professional and caring babysitter for my two children who stayed with them in our hotel room. Thank you for your service. Our holiday wouldn’t have been the same if I had not found Call a Nanny😊”

Thank you, Roberta, Irina and team for contributing to making my trip to Malta a memorable one ❤️.”

2. My Poppins & Co
Address: Level 3, Hardrocks Business Park, The Fort, Road, Naxxar NXR6345
Contact Details: +356 9953 5508
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
What we love most about My Poppins & Co is how they tailor regular nanny services around any family schedule. Their super flexible set-up makes last-minute plans way less chaotic.
And bonus points for their corporate childcare solutions. On-site nannies and after-school care make life easier for working families.
It’s also kind of awesome that they run their own in-house academy. They provide fun courses for kids and solid training to keep their sitters sharp.
And to make life even easier, their mobile app lets you browse profiles and manage bookings straight from your phone. While it may experience some lag during peak hours, it remains an invaluable tool for busy parents on the go.
Plus, they’re the go-to childcare crew for places like Corinthia Hotel, InterContinental, and Radisson Blu. It’s really nice knowing that luxury hotels really thought of kids too.
Regular updates provide total peace
“Always had a great experience with using My Poppins & Co, Julia is very quick to respond and always follows up on how the session went. Her team is amazing! they all have some experience with children and very passionate about their love for little ones. During the session you get regular updates on how your little one is doing. Overall very pleased with the services and will be using them for every baby sitting need 😊♥️ Thank you for gaining my trust with my precious gifts.”

Immediately instilled trust and reassurance
“Recently had the pleasure of utilizing the services of a babysitter from ,, My Poppins & Co’’ and I must say that my experience was nothing short of outstanding. Specifically, I was fortunate to have Ms. Margaret as our assigned babysitter, and she truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment Ms. Margaret arrived at our home, her warm and friendly demeanor put both myself and my child at ease. She exuded a sense of professionalism and confidence, which immediately instilled trust and reassurance in me as a parent. It was evident that she was not only experienced but genuinely passionate about caring for children. Definitely will be using your service again in the future. Thank you”

3. Little Me
Address: 55 Papa Urbanu VIII, Birkirkara BKR 1420
Contact Details: +356 9983 8126
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
We love that Little Me focuses on the little ones, 4 months to 3 years. Their days are packed with sensory play, stories, and cute crafts that actually keep tiny humans busy (and happy).
The home-style atmosphere feels warm and inviting, like a second home for both children and parents.
On the flip side, they only operate Monday to Friday, so weekend coverage is off the table.
But we still think that this full-day, weekday schedule (roughly 7 AM – 5 PM) fits perfectly into standard work routines. It makes planning our days easy and convenient. Parents can get reliable care that matches busy calendars.
Plus, it’s conveniently located in Birkirkara, where drop-offs couldn’t be easier. We also like that booking is just a phone call or email away. It makes contact truly feel personal and straightforward.
A safe haven for little ones
“Home away from home. A safe haven for my little one & a peace of mind for us parents. Dedicated owners and carers who go the extra mile to ensure your child is taken care of, happy and having fun while learning and developing. I highly recommend Little Me, my loved one is not just a number there but one of their own. Thank you for making a difference!”

Supportive and feedback-driven team
“As we approach the end of our incredible journey with Little Me, it fills our hearts with overwhelming gratitude as we struggle to find words that truly capture the deep love and appreciation we have for the remarkable team that has lovingly cared for, nurtured, and taught our precious daughter. Their unwavering dedication is nothing short of extraordinary. Beyond their dedication, Little Me has consistently provided our children with a world of enriching experiences, exposing them to various tools, creative crafts, memorable activities, and exciting outings. The caregivers at Little Me infuse each day with boundless love and care, pouring their hearts into the well-being and growth of our children. The management team’s genuine commitment to listening to our feedback and promptly addressing our requests only adds to our affection. Reflecting on these early years, it is impossible to envision them without the loving presence, support, and guidance of Little Me. They have played a profound role in nurturing our child’s independence, creativity, and kindness, and for this, we are forever grateful. Moreover, we cherish the fact that Little Me consistently upholds impeccable hygienic standards in their childcare facilities, ensuring our child’s safety and well-being with each passing day.”

4. BeeSmart Childcare Centre
Address: Triq il-Palazz L-Ahmar St. Venera, SVR 1936
Contact Details: +356 9942 4702
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 6:30 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
BeeSmart’s loving, safe atmosphere—two fully air-conditioned centres make drop-offs worry-free. It feels just like having a trusted sitter at home, rain or shine. That comfort sets the vibe for confident parents and happy kids.
Beyond their standard care, their Eco-Day programs offer environmental lessons with hands-on fun like planting seeds. We notice how these themed days keep children as engaged as they would be with a creative babysitter. It’s a perk that sparks curiosity.
For busy parents, Holiday Clubs during Carnival and Summer Tide act as on-demand babysitting. Registration is first-come, first-served—spots fill up fast, so late plans may end up without coverage. Once you’ve secured a slot, the routines run smoothly, even during breaks.
Their centre & kindergarten model ensures seamless progression from toddler play to early academics. We like that the routines evolve naturally under one roof. Families truly get one reliable hub for every stage.
Even more, their partnerships with local schools and ongoing staff development mean every sitter stays sharp and ahead. We truly value a team as committed to growth as our little learners will be.
Improvement-focused learning
“We’ve been sending our little one to BeeSmart for nearly a year now. We are truly happy with their services and their staff are all loving and full of dedication to the little ones. Our son loves going to BeeSmart and is in love with all of their staff! We’ve also saw a lot of improvement in our child since he’s been going to the BeeSmart Child Care centre 🙂 Staff were always understanding when any unforeseen circumstances came up and we had to change the schedule at the last minute, which i am sure that all the working parents out there can relate! Couldn’t recommend a better child care system 🙂 keep up the good work and continue to bring happiness to our little child’s world.”

Milestone-focused development
“We are truly happy with the choice we made for our daughter in her early years of education! She is making a very good progress and given she spends a full day at nursery with her amazing carers, this is mostly due to their awesome work! 👏 Well done to all the staff and management of BeeSmart for their dedication and support they give us parents to have our minds at rest when we’re at work! Highly recommended! ☺️❤️🐝 Thanks for helping our daughter grow, reach, and further develop her milestones! 🙏”

5. Little Bunny Childcare Centre
Address: 72 Triq F. S. Caruana, Birkirkara BKR 1235
Contact Details: +356 9908 3266
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 6:30 AM – 7:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM
- Sunday: Closed
Situated in the heart of Birkirkara, Little Bunny welcomes infants through preschoolers with a play-based curriculum built around three core values: “Ready to Listen and Learn,” “To Share”, and “To Be Respectful.”
Beyond that, these guiding principles shape every activity, from group storytelling to collaborative art projects. We like how they provide a nurturing environment where social and emotional growth feels as natural as play.
On top of the curriculum, we’re delighted by their extended hours—early starts and late finishes give busy parents real breathing room. It’s practically on-call babysitting that takes the stress out of chaotic mornings and evenings.
Plus, online registration via their website means booking a spot takes just a few clicks. At the same time, their secure entry system ensures only authorised sitters get in—no more worries about unexpected visitors. It’s simplicity and safety, hand in hand.
Regarding affordability, they offer both government-funded childcare scheme places and private enrolment. However, funded slots are limited, so early booking is essential. Even so, their pricing keeps premium care accessible to more families.
Nurturing early development
“My son have been going to LittleBunny since his 5 months old, and his development has improved immensely since then. The staff is really nice, and he loves the girls! Always open a smile when see them. Lucy, the owner, is always helpful and friendly to us, and ready to help. I definitely recommend!”
