In Reply to: Babysitter/Nanny for 13 month old posted by kbbali on Wednesday, 30. September 2009 at 02:47 Bali Time:
We used a babysitter last trip everyday for our 5month old and 3year old we don't have grandparents at home to leave our young children with nor are we going to wait until they are all grown up as some people have mentioned but we want to take them on holidays with us and spend our holiday together as a family BUT we do want to enjoy some down time together and we felt very comfortable leaving our children with the nanny we chose (also through recommendations)...I agree that you have to go with your instincts, meet them first let them spend a couple of hours with you and your child and then see how your feel from there, I felt more comfortable with my particular nanny in bali then babysitters that i have used here at home. We too are planning on heading to Bali for 3xweeks in November so will be using our Balinese sitter but I do know friends who have used someone else they were very happy with..I have left my email open if you would like details. Have a great trip.
