Overnight Nanny vs Live-In Nanny vs Travel Nanny in Bali

Which Type of Bali Nanny Does Your Family Need?

Not every family visiting Bali needs the same type of childcare.

Some parents simply want help overnight with their baby. Others want a nanny living with their family throughout their holiday. And some families need a professional nanny who can travel internationally with them.

At My Bali Nanny, we offer several childcare options depending on the level of support your family requires.

Here is the difference between an overnight nanny, live-in nanny and international travel nanny — and how to decide which option is right for your family

Overnight Nanny Bali

From 1,800,000 IDR

An overnight nanny is designed for parents who need childcare support throughout the evening and overnight period.

Unlike a live-in nanny, an overnight nanny isn't permanently staying with your family. She is booked specifically to provide childcare during the agreed overnight period.

This can be particularly helpful for parents travelling with babies or young children.

An Overnight Nanny May Help With:

• Settling your baby or child

• Night-time supervision

• Bottle preparation and feeding where required

• Nappy changes

• Settling children back to sleep

• Bedtime routines

• Caring for children while parents sleep

• Providing additional support during difficult nights

Who Is an Overnight Nanny Best For?

Overnight nanny care can be ideal for:

Parents travelling with babies

Holiday routines, unfamiliar environments and jet lag can sometimes make nights more difficult.

Parents needing some rest

If you've spent the entire day caring for your children while travelling, overnight support can give you an opportunity to recharge.

Parents attending evening events

An overnight nanny can provide continuity of care when parents are attending weddings, dinners or events that run late into the evening.

Families requiring occasional overnight support

You don't need a full-time live-in nanny just because you'd like help for one or two nights.

Live-In Nanny Bali

From 1,800,000 IDR

A live-in nanny provides a much higher level of ongoing support and stays with your family as part of the childcare arrangement.

Rather than having a nanny arrive and leave each day, your nanny stays with your family for the agreed booking period.

This can be particularly useful for families spending longer periods in Bali or families who want consistent childcare throughout their stay.

A Live-In Nanny May Help With:

• Daily childcare

• Morning routines

• Children's meals

• Nap routines

• Bath and bedtime

• Accompanying your family on outings

• Helping around the villa or hotel with child-related tasks

• Evening childcare

• Providing additional support throughout your holiday

Who Is a Live-In Nanny Best For?

Live-in nanny care is particularly suited to:

Families staying in Bali for several weeks or months

If Bali is temporarily becoming home, having one consistent nanny can make life significantly easier.

Families with babies and toddlers

Young children often require support throughout the entire day rather than for one specific period.

Parents who want flexibility

A live-in arrangement provides greater flexibility than repeatedly organising separate childcare bookings.

Families with demanding schedules

If your holiday includes events, dinners, activities and day trips, having consistent childcare support can make your schedule much easier.

Does My Nanny Need Her Own Room?

Suitable accommodation and sleeping arrangements will need to be discussed when organising a live-in nanny.

If you're considering live-in childcare, tell us where you're staying and what accommodation is available so we can discuss the most appropriate arrangement.

International Travel Nanny

From 2,000,000 IDR

An international travel nanny accompanies your family while travelling outside Bali or Indonesia.

This is very different from simply booking a babysitter at your villa.

Your nanny becomes part of your family's travel arrangements and provides childcare support throughout the journey.

Depending on the booking, this may include accompanying your family through airports, flights, transfers, hotels and your destination.

What Does an International Travel Nanny Do?

An international travel nanny may assist with:

• Airport travel

• Flights

• Feeding children while travelling

• Nappy changes

• Entertaining children during flights

• Sleep and nap routines

• Hotel childcare

• Accompanying the family on outings

• Helping parents with luggage while caring for children

• Evening childcare

• Daily childcare throughout the trip

Who Is an International Travel Nanny Best For?

Families Travelling With Babies

Airports, luggage, prams, bottles, nappies and an unsettled baby can make travelling significantly more demanding.

Having another experienced adult dedicated to helping with your child can make the journey easier.

Families With Multiple Children

Travelling internationally with two or three young children can be challenging, particularly through airports and on long flights.

Parents Travelling for Work

A travel nanny can care for your children while you attend meetings, events or work commitments at your destination.

Families Taking Longer Holidays

If you're visiting multiple destinations, having the same nanny travel with your family can provide valuable consistency for your children.

What Costs Does the Family Cover for a Travel Nanny?

International travel nanny bookings involve additional expenses beyond the nanny's service rate.

Depending on your itinerary, families should expect to cover agreed travel-related expenses such as:

• Return flights

• Accommodation

• Visas where required

• Travel insurance requirements

• Airport transfers

• Transportation at the destination

• Meals or an agreed meal allowance

• Other agreed travel expenses associated with the booking

All arrangements should be discussed and agreed before international travel is confirmed.

Can My Bali Nanny Travel With Our Family?
