"Neighborhood Babysitters" Program

The "Neighborhood Nannies" program falls under the umbrella of actions promoting the reconciliation of family and professional life, which is one of the key objectives of the European Strategy for Equality for the coming years. The project will initially be implemented on a pilot basis in 62 municipalities across the country and will then be gradually rolled out nationwide.

This program mainly concerns the care of infants aged between two months and two and a half years and provides financial support to workers—mainly parents, single parents, contractors, and families in general, for the care of their child or children, either within the family home or in the home of a teacher or caregiver.
