Babysitting & Childcare in Vienna for Tourists

Q: Babysitter in Vienna or kids club: what is ANKERZEIT®?

ANKERZEIT® is a childcare centre in Vienna with small, supervised groups (max. 6 children) and a structured mix of guided movement, creativity and rest, similar to a kids club for families on holiday in Vienna. Our groups are low-stimulus and calm, yet children can be really active in our activity landscape. This suits energetic children as well as children with special needs or neurodivergent children (e.g. ADHD, autism, high sensitivity). Individual babysitting at other times is available on request by e-mail.

3 hours of fun for your child. Time to explore Vienna.

Visiting Vienna with your family and looking for a few hours to explore the city on your own?

Have you ever been on holiday alone with your child and wished for a few hours for an event or a museum visit where your child unfortunately couldn’t come along?

We know the problem of missing childcare on holiday. We look after your child, so you can enjoy Vienna.

At ANKERZEIT® in Seestadt Aspern, children aged approximately 3-12 enjoy three hours of guided activities in small groups of up to six: movement and parkour in our activity landscape, arts and crafts, and calm time to relax, accompanied by our experienced team of mostly qualified educators.

Whether you are planning a museum visit, a concert, sightseeing or simply some time for the two of you: while your child enjoys a welcoming, structured environment, you can explore Vienna at your own pace.
