At 13 he also would have not wanted a babysitter and possibly didn't have at that age either so understands his daughter!
Yes I agree times have changed and life can be a bit more dangerous but you have to say to yourself" at what age can we leave them alone together in Bali" 14 and 4? 15 and 5? 16 and 6?,if you are that worried now i cant see it changing in the next few years.
I wouldn't use a baby sitter in a foreign country that i did not know!Totally different to having the teenage neighbor babysit in your own home.
Would you leave your child in a child care center with unregistered child minders at home?
