Hiring a local nanny in Thailand: your questions, answered

Real answers on what a trusted, English-speaking nanny costs, how vetting works, and how to book one for your hotel or villa in Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui and beyond.

Costs & booking

How much does a nanny cost in Thailand?

A private, vetted local nanny in Thailand typically costs around $60 for a half day (4 hours) and about $100 for a full day (8 hours), with some experienced nannies available from as little as $46 for 4 hours.

Prices are shown per nanny, all-in and upfront when you search on Nannimoon — so there’s no on-the-day haggling and no cash surprises.

Can I book an English-speaking nanny in Thailand?

Yes. Nannimoon lets you filter for English-speaking nannies, so language is never a barrier on holiday. Every profile lists the languages she speaks, and you can message before you confirm. Many nannies speak English plus Thai, and some also speak Chinese or Russian.

How do I find a babysitter in Phuket or Bangkok for a holiday?

Search your destination and dates on Nannimoon, compare available vetted nannies with prices and reviews, and book online in a few minutes. Nannimoon covers Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Krabi, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Hua Hin, and the nanny comes to your hotel, villa or resort — so childcare is sorted before you land.

Can I get a nanny at my hotel or resort?

Yes. Nannimoon nannies travel to your hotel room, villa or resort at the time you book, so you can head to dinner, the spa or an adults-only excursion while your children stay somewhere familiar. You choose the hours — a few evenings, or full days across your stay.

How far in advance should I book?

Book as early as you can — the earlier, the better. The best nannies get booked first, and in peak season (December–February) most are fully booked, so reserving weeks or even months ahead gives you the widest choice. Last-minute is sometimes possible, but early booking is how you secure the nanny you really want.

Trust & safety

What if the nanny isn’t the right fit?

Every booking is backed by our 72-hour guarantee. After your nanny starts, you have 72 hours to be sure. If she’s not right, switch to another available nanny or get a refund — booking childcare abroad, with no risk.

Are nannies in Thailand safe and vetted?

Yes. Every nanny is first-aid & CPR certified, water & pool-safety trained, and passes a government ID + police background check — with proven experience and verified references from real families. She’s also reviewed by real parents, and every booking is backed by the 72-hour guarantee.

Payment is held securely and released only after the booking, so you’re never handing cash to a stranger on arrival. More than 1,000 families have booked through Nannimoon.

Can I keep the same nanny for my whole trip?

Yes — book one nanny and keep her for your whole stay, so your kids get one familiar face instead of a different person each day.

What ages do local nannies care for?

Nannimoon nannies care for newborns and infants through to school-age children. Every profile lists the age ranges each nanny is experienced with, including infant care — so if you have a baby, just filter for nannies with infant experience.

How does payment and cancellation work?

You pay securely online at a fixed price when you book, and the funds are only released to the nanny after the care happens. Because it’s all booked in advance, you avoid cash and on-the-day price surprises. Cancellation terms are shown before you confirm, so you always know the policy upfront.

On your holiday

What does a local nanny actually do?

A local nanny looks after your children so you get a break: playing, feeding, nap and bedtime routines, pool and beach supervision, and outings if you want them. You agree the plan with the nanny in advance. It’s private one-to-one (or one-to-family) care — not a shared kids club.

What’s the best childcare option for a family trip to Bali?

For Bali, a private vetted nanny who comes to your villa is usually the most flexible option: your children stay in familiar surroundings, you set the hours, and there’s no fixed kids-club schedule to work around. Nannimoon connects traveling families with trusted local nannies in Bali the same way it does across Thailand.
