Italians have a deeply communal attitude toward children ('i bambini') — it takes a village. Hotel staff often genuinely enjoy helping arrange childcare and have trusted babysitters they have worked with for years. Italian babysitters ('baby-sitter') often read stories, play games, and prepare light snacks.
