What “Hourly Babysitting” Means (In Simple Terms)
Hourly babysitting is short, flexible childcare booked by time blocks (often 2–4 hours). A babysitter comes to your hotel, resort, villa or Airbnb, follows your routine, keeps children safe and calmly engaged — so parents can enjoy dinner, a spa session, a short tour or focused work time.
Quick rule: If you only need help for a few hours (and you want maximum flexibility), hourly babysitting is usually the simplest option.
Why Hourly Babysitting in Hoi An & Da Nang Fits Real Travel Families
Central Vietnam is beautiful — and intense for little ones (heat, new foods, jet lag, lots of walking). Many trips end up with one adult “on duty” in the room while the other rushes out for a quick dinner. Hourly babysitting changes that rhythm: kids stay settled in a familiar space, parents get real rest, and the whole family enjoys the holiday more.

How an Hourly Babysitter in Hoi An & Da Nang Works Step by Step
Babysitting by the hour is designed for real family travel: jet lag, heat and new surroundings can affect children differently, so we keep the service flexible and calm.
1. Share Your Travel Plan & Children’s Needs
Tell us your dates, where you’re staying and what kind of support you imagine — a date night, a spa day, a cooking class, or a half-day tour. Share ages, nap patterns, allergies and anything your child finds comforting.
A familiar, calm setting (like your hotel room or a kids park) helps children settle faster.
2. Get a Clear Proposal
We suggest the best-fit option (hourly, daily blocks, or weekly pattern if needed). You see estimated hours and clear pricing before you confirm anything.
3. Meet Your Nanny & Do a Gentle Handover
Your nanny arrives at your hotel, villa or resort a little early for the first session. You walk through boundaries, routine and safety notes. A short overlap helps kids feel comfortable.
4. Add Screen-Free Activities (Optional)
Many travel families find a simple activity makes a session smoother — especially for toddlers and high-energy kids. See the menu below:

- Share allergies, separation anxiety notes, and sibling dynamics (if any).
- Plan care around your child’s energy; choose indoor care during the hottest hours.
- Save the sitter’s name/number and your room details so you can message quickly.
