Useful information for parents

When you get to your hotel, let the reception staff know that you are expecting a nanny and what time she will arrive. This will save your nanny from having difficulties with the hotel security staff.

When you first meet your nanny, tell her exactly what you expect her to do. For example, if you expect her to change nappies and feed your child, let her know this.

Each day, you should outline your plans, explaining when your nanny is to be with the family and when she is to care for your children alone.

Wages in Bali are generally low, so if you are happy with your nanny, you may want to give her a tip at the end of her employment. For daily nannies, this might be in the region of 100,000 Rupiah for each week of work. You may wish to pay more to live-in nannies.
