Hubby will be there as well, but the 2yo needs one on one attention (plus two free hands to grab him); something hubby can't do whilst holding the baby as well. The 2yo has been having lessons since 12mo and is pretty good in the water, but that's half the problem - he's a total water-baby and not scared at all. It's so easy for him to slip in just that little bit deeper than he can manage, and all we want is a spare pair of hands to grab him straight away and bring him back to the shallow end.
This holiday is a birthday present for me and hubby has promised me some time off from the 3 kids to go shopping and have massages etc. One of the reasons we picked Bali was because of the availability of nannies. We don't expect a nanny to take full responsibility for the 2yo, just to be there with him in the pool (and out) as well as hubby.
