Babysitting services require expertise and experience. Finding a nanny who is skilled at caring for newborns or infants can be difficult for busy parents, as most babysitting services focus on younger or older children.
Finding a babysitter is not just about paying for a babysitter. Babies require special care such as bathing, feeding, playing with and watching your baby at night. Therefore, you need to find someone who is reliable, dependable, well-trained and has experience taking care of babies from birth.
Infant or newborn care services and fees
The cost of caring for an infant or newborn depends on the type of service requested.
nurse
Professional nannies with nursing backgrounds can provide the high level of care that fragile newborns deserve. At Kiidu, we have nannies experienced in midwifery and nursing who can provide excellent care for babies with different needs, from basic care to diaper changing, swaddling, bathing, dressing and helping babies burp. Services where you can trust the experts to take care of your baby 100 percent.
In Thailand, a family nanny with a nursing background typically costs between 25,000 and 32,000 baht per month. Nanny rates can vary depending on the type of service provided, such as full-time or part-time, stay-at-home or commuting, or on-demand.
Nanny or nanny
Some nannies or childcare professionals may have experience in caring for babies. However, not all nannies have the same level of skills or expertise that a nurse has. At Kiidu, we recognise this limitation and that is why all our nannies and babysitters who do not have experience as nurses have undergone comprehensive training to become experts. When you hire our nanny or babysitter, we can guarantee that our nannies can take care of your little one’s daily needs. So as a parent, you can rest assured that your little one will be safe.
Nanny or babysitting services start at 12,000 baht and up. Prices vary depending on years of experience and additional skills, such as driving, languages spoken, and whether the service is home or commuting, full-time or part-time.
If you browse our website, you will see that clients can filter for professional nurses, nannies or nannies based on their service fees and other considerations such as availability, qualifications, nationality and age.
Hiring a night nanny
If you have an infant or toddler and sleeping at night can be a real pain, then let our night shift babysitters help you out. Night shift babysitters provide newborn care services like feeding and changing diapers because we know how tiring it can be for parents like you who have to take care of your child 24/7.
Our agency has trained nannies who can provide quality nighttime babysitting services. Parents can have a good night’s sleep without worrying about their newborn baby through reliable nannies.
When it comes to salary, night nannies are usually more expensive than day nannies due to the difference in working hours.
How to find a nanny
In a big city like Bangkok, when you post an ad for a newborn babysitter or nanny, whether online or through other channels, you can expect to get dozens of responses and interest from the position. However, this is not the safest method, as it can be very difficult to find a trusted stranger to care for your baby or newborn.
So for the safety of your home, don’t hire someone who is just looking for a job, but rather someone who is both trained to be a nanny and has years of experience and has been vetted by the police.
There are several ways that parents can safely find a nanny, babysitter, or newborn care provider:
1. Recommendations from friends
You may have a friend who knows someone who would be the best person to care for babies and other children in your home. If you can find a nanny through a referral from an acquaintance, that is one of the best ways to find the right person for the job.
But before accepting a referral, check with your friend to make sure how much they know about the nanny. The more details you can get about the nanny, the better before you decide to schedule an interview. Don’t be afraid to ask your friend questions and get as much information as you can about the nanny or childcare professional.
2. Hiring your own nanny
You may be able to find a newborn care professional by, as many families do, hiring nannies yourself, perhaps by posting a job opening in a local newspaper or on social media, and then screening candidates against your criteria.
Once you have narrowed down your candidate requirements, you can then review the qualities of the nanny you are considering. Some families list a preference for newborn care expertise to narrow down specific qualifications before hiring. Once you have hired someone, it is your responsibility to meet all government requirements.
However, the main disadvantage of finding a nanny on your own is that it can be a tedious and time-consuming process, as you have to do everything yourself.
3. Hiring through a nanny or babysitting company
Finding a newborn care professional through a reputable babysitting agency is the easiest and fastest way to find the right person who matches your qualifications and preferences. In big cities like Bangkok, there are babysitting and childcare agencies that cater to the specific needs of each family, but choosing an agency requires careful consideration as these agencies have different perspectives.
So before choosing a company to hire a childcare professional, you should do some research on the company and its team members. Learn how they operate their business, whether they have any licenses to operate.
At Kiidu, we are a business established since 2015 and have built a good reputation in the industry over the years. Whether you are looking for a professional caregiver for your baby or little one, whether it is a full-time professional caregiver or someone who can work part-time, we will find the right candidate for you. We are confident in the availability, helpfulness and years of childcare experience of our nannies, nannies and childminders.
