In Reply to: Nanny who will go in the villa pool posted by Ellebana on Thursday, 27. January 2011 at 09:35 Bali Time:
We have villas (only one with a pool fence that we will take children) and I will not allow children to be left alone with the housegirls as it is just too much responsibility - there is absolutely no way I would leave a 2 year old with a local babysitter as very few can swim sufficiently (I know we have tried to teach them) but they would go into panic mode. Most of the girls are also reluctant to say NO to children, somehow Balinese children are a lot more placid than Australian or European children.
