Where To Find And Hire The Best Nanny Services In Bali (2025)

Tips For Hiring A Nanny Safely In Bali

Childcare always deserves due diligence. Before you hand over the responsibilities, go through this list to make sure your nanny experience is safe and comfortable for you and your kiddies:

• Ask for references or reviews. Many trusted nannies are known through word of mouth or community groups. Always check what previous clients have to say.
• Confirm experience and certifications. First Aid or CPR training is a huge plus, especially if you’ll be away for long stretches (like all day or for a whole night).
• Agree on pay and hours upfront. Bali’s standard nanny rates vary by location and shift type, and pricing is often not clear from the start. Clarify all the details early to avoid awkward surprises later.
• Be clear on responsibilities. Whether it’s meal prep, bath time, or bedtime, set realistic expectations from the beginning and don't just assume that the nanny will know to know everything you expect.
• Respect local customs. Many Balinese nannies observe temple days or ceremonies, which means needing to have time during those periods. Understand that this is cultural, and asking them not to attend a ceremony might be perceived as disrespect. Planning around these will help keep things smooth for everyone.
• Use agencies for added peace of mind. A vetted agency can give you more assurance for things like background checks or scheduling reliability. We've included agencies in this article. Little Steps Tip: Bali’s childcare scene is warm and welcoming, but having the right chemistry and communication with your nanny can make a huge difference, especially for your child to genuinely enjoy their time.

Finding Freelancers via Community Groups

When local resources or big agencies don’t have availability, parent and expat groups are lifesavers as they recommend individual-operating nannies that may not otherwise be found on websites/Google search. Word of mouth is everything!

How To Find Freelancers:

• Facebook “Nanny Jobs in Bali” or “Bali Nannies & Families” groups – postings and personal referrals flood these groups.
• Word of mouth/neighbourhoods – ask villa managers, café owners, or parents in your area. Likely, they will know someone who offers nanny services, as it is so common in Bali; the island's freelance nanny scene is tightly knit.
• Online marketplaces (GreatAuPair, etc.), some locals may list part-time or occasional nanny roles, even on big global sites. Filter for Indonesia>Bali and see what comes up.
• Google Maps: Similar to how you can find at-home on-call massage therapists, you can type in "nanny service" and you'll get not only agency listings, but also results of local nannies in your area who are operating independently.

Specialised Infant & Toddler Care

For babies, toddlers, or children needing more intensive care (night services, sleep training, feeding schedules, developmental support), some Bali childcare agencies specialise in very young childcare (or offer options beyond generic babysitting).

Bali Baby Hire

While primarily focused on babysitting, this agency does provide babysitters for infants and toddlers, with safe protocols, police checks, and trained staff.

• Rates & constraints: They require a minimum booking (3 hours), and travel fees based on area.
• Caveat for infants: For very small babies (6 months), ask specifically whether the assigned sitter has neonatal or infant care training.
• Contact: +62 898 070 6460, info@balibabyhire.com, www.balibabyhire.com/babysitting.com
