Childcare

Please note that due to consistently low demand and participation in recent years, there will be no organised childcare service available at RIPE 93.

Attendees travelling with children may wish to arrange private childcare during the conference. The following providers offer childcare and babysitting services in Sofia, including options that may be suitable for families staying at the Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia.

Families are encouraged to contact providers directly in advance to discuss availability, the children's ages, required hours, languages spoken and whether care can be provided at the hotel.

Childcare Services in Sofia

  • Bavachki.bg – a Sofia-based childcare agency offering vetted babysitters and nannies. The service can be contacted to arrange childcare according to the family's requirements, including short-term and occasional care.
  • Home Staff International – nanny and babysitter recruitment services in Bulgaria, including multilingual childcare professionals and short- or longer-term arrangements.
  • Babysits – Sofia – an online platform allowing families to search for babysitters and nannies in Sofia based on experience, languages and availability.

Staying at the Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia

The Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia is located at 89B Vitosha Boulevard, immediately behind the National Palace of Culture (NDK). The hotel offers family accommodation and complementary baby cots on request.

When arranging private childcare, families should confirm directly with both the childcare provider and the hotel that the caregiver is permitted to provide childcare in the guest's room or other hotel areas.

The conference organisers do not independently provide, supervise or endorse private childcare arrangements. Families are responsible for making their own arrangements and should satisfy themselves regarding the provider's qualifications, references, safeguarding procedures, insurance and terms and conditions.
