How much does a nanny cost in Chiang Mai?
Hourly babysitting starts at 550 THB/hour with a 4-hour minimum. Full-time live-out nannies are 45,000–55,000 THB/month (transport included), and live-in is 30,000–38,000 THB/month plus room and board. All prices are itemized — no hidden overtime, transport or admin fees.
What background checks do you perform?
Every nanny goes through a Thai criminal record check, government ID verification, and reference calls with at least two previous families. We also re-verify documents annually and keep a copy of all certifications on file.
Are your nannies bilingual?
Yes. All our nannies speak conversational to fluent English in addition to Thai. We can also match you with Mandarin or French-speaking caregivers on request, subject to availability.
Can I meet the nanny before hiring?
Absolutely. You receive 3 matched profiles, then meet your shortlist by video or in person — completely free. Long-term placements also include a paid 7-day trial in real working conditions before signing the full contract.
What if my nanny is sick, quits, or doesn't fit our family?
You're covered by our 14-day replacement guarantee on every long-term placement. If a nanny is sick or unavailable, our coordinator arranges a vetted backup so your week isn't disrupted.
Do you handle the work permit or visa for the nanny?
Our Thai nannies work legally under standard Thai labor rules — no visa is required on your side. We provide a clear contract aligned with the 48-hour workweek, public holidays, and overtime rules so everyone is protected.
Live-in vs live-out — which should I choose?
Live-out (45,000–55,000 THB/month, transport included) suits families who value privacy and have predictable daytime needs. Live-in (30,000–38,000 THB/month + room & board) is better if you need overnight coverage, irregular hours, or have multiple young children. We help you decide during the free consultation.
Can I hire a nanny for just a few hours, like a date night?
Yes. Our hourly rate is 550 THB/hour with a 4-hour minimum. After 10 PM, our night-nanny rate of 750 THB/hour applies and transport is included, so you don't pay any late-night surcharge separately.
Do you provide night nannies or newborn specialists?
Yes. Night nannies are 750 THB/hour after 10 PM with transport included. Newborn specialists are pediatric-trained and priced at 1,200 THB/hour — ideal for the first weeks home with a baby.
Which neighborhoods do you cover?
We cover Nimmanhaemin, the Old City, Suthep, Hang Dong, Mae Hia, Nong Kwai, San Sai, Saraphi, Doi Saket and Mae Rim. If you're slightly outside these areas, just ask — we'll let you know honestly whether we can serve you well.
How quickly can you send a babysitter on short notice?
During office hours (Mon–Sat, 8:00–20:00) we reply within 2 hours and can usually dispatch a vetted babysitter the same day for evening bookings, subject to availability. WhatsApp is the fastest channel.
Do you serve tourists, or only long-term expat families?
Both. We regularly handle hotel and Airbnb babysitting in Nimman and the Old City for families visiting 1–3 weeks, as well as long-term placements for expat families in Hang Dong, Mae Hia and beyond. Pricing and vetting are identical.
