Does anybody know how to get responsible child care in Madrid? I have a friend going on a business trip/vacation in May and she has a 4 yr old son. She needs somebody for the "business week".

TIA

RATs -- they know EVERYTHING...

Have you tried the search function?

:-D :-D :wink:

Mare, It's my understanding that there is a halfway house located in downtown Madrid where many of the folks are seeking gainful employment. Perhaps a qualified babysitter could be found there. Hope this helps out! :-D

Well, boozie, I hafta say: Last time I stayed in Madrid, it was at a boarding house (er, "pensione") run by a lovely dwarf named Miguel. As a woman traveling alone, he figgered I needed protection and was very close and loving to me. Even bought me pizza upon arrival.

His daughter, and son-in-law, a real fun-loving couple, were very HAPPY drunks to begin with. There are some incriminating photos of moi-meme floating around somewhere... But, after I'd long taken to my bed, lemme tell ya! the shouting began, and the flying pots and pans, and... well you know how that goes.

Not the place for children under 18,,,,

Our European contingent is fast asleep at the moment. I'll expect some reasonable responses in the a.m.

:razz:

I assume you are talking of Spain...for all I know there could be a Madrid in Texas...somewhere near Paris.

Yes, Madrid, Spain. This is a serious question! Where are our Euro members???

The happy couple Mr and Mrs OldSwede are going to the Canary Islands on a defrosting trip in a month’s time. I hope we will find a more civilized Spain than you did Mare.

I’m sorry but I have never been to mainland Spain so I can’t help you with the childcare.

Drunk dwarfs making amourous offerings of pizza to a euro-hoping American gal, while his drunken daughter and son in law throw pots and pans at each other during a screaming match?

Geez Mare, sounds like a Federico Fellini film to me !

I love Europe.

But, hello! We are now looking for babysitters in Madrid!!!! :razz:

And did I mention? For 12 bucks a nite, the place was NICER than my East Village flat. Oh, the good ole days. :roll:
