Sun, sand, smoothie bowls… and a toddler who has decided naps are optional. 😅 Bali is a tropical paradise for families, but finding a reliable, English-speaking nanny can be a daunting task for expats and digital nomads. You are not just looking for a babysitter; you are looking for a trusted professional who understands international standards of childcare, hygiene and safety.
✅ The nanny must-haves
🕵️ 3 essential steps to vetting a professional nanny
1. Rigorous background checks
Never skip the background check. Ensure that the candidate has a clean track record, verifiable references from previous expat families, and valid local identification (KTP and SKCK/Police Record).
2. Verify first aid and CPR certifications
Accidents happen, especially in villas with private pools or during trips to the beach. A top-tier nanny must be trained in paediatric first aid and CPR. Always ask for proof of recent certification.
3. Assess communication and language skills
Clear communication is vital for your child's development and your peace of mind. An English-speaking nanny ensures that instructions regarding allergies, daily routines and emergencies are understood perfectly, without lost-in-translation moments.
