Professional Hotel Babysitting & Travel Nanny in Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City moves quickly, but your child does not have to follow every meeting, dinner, shopping trip, or evening event. Calibee sends a professional babysitter to your hotel, serviced apartment, or residence — so your child can eat, play, and sleep on a familiar schedule.
A city booking can include in-room games, hotel playroom time, shaded garden play, books, crafts, or support during an agreed family outing. Activities are adjusted for heat, rain, traffic, crowds, and parents’ instructions.
Best part? Calibee is 100% flexible — from evening care in District 1 to serviced-apartment sessions in Thao Dien or Phu My Hung. Because your Saigon stay deserves to be effortless… for all the right reasons.
What makes Calibee SO unique?
English-speaking babysitters — no language barrier with you or your child.
Flexible refunds — if a babysitter isn’t the right fit, we replace them free of charge and refund any unused hours.
Customer support available 24/7

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay by CASH?
NO, Cash payments are NOT accepted under any circumstances. Calibee commits to refunds or flexible support in the case of valid customer requests.
Full payment is required in advance via local bank transfer WISE, or Visa/ MasterCard for Calibee to confirm and reserve the service, ensuring timely and accurate staff arrangement.
Since hourly babysitting services are highly flexible, short-term, and require quick responses, prepayment helps smooth the operation and prevents last-minute cancellations or schedule changes that could affect both customers and staff.
Cancellation, Change and Refund Policy
– If canceled while Calibee is still searching for a babysitter: 100% refund.
– If a babysitter has already been assigned:
• Cancel at least 24h before the shift: 50% refund.
• No refund.
– Schedule Change only provides 24 hours before the shift. An administrative fee of 50,000 VND will be applied, and the booking value will be updated based on the latest pricing.
What if my child cries or refuses the babysitter, making the session unworkable?
Calibee understands that children may be unfamiliar with new people or environments. Our babysitters will spend the first 15–20 minutes building rapport, and parents are encouraged to stay and help with the adjustment.
If the session cannot proceed and ends early, Calibee only charges a minimum service fee (1 hour) and transportation cost.
How far in advance should I book in Ho Chi Minh City?
Book early to lock in your babysitter. To keep everything in order and avoid last-minute unavailability, we recommend:
– High season (Tết, Christmas–New Year, long weekends and the conference & wedding season (October–December)): book 1–2 months in advance — babysitters fill up fast.
– Low season (the rest of the year): 1–4 weeks is usually enough.
Booking early also gives us time to confirm your hotel’s access rules and match a babysitter who fits your child’s age and routine.
Can I see the babysitter's profile and interview them before booking?
Yes. Most families don’t need to, since Calibee already matches each babysitter to your children’s ages and needs. But if you’d like to talk with them first, that’s completely understandable.
Once you’ve agreed on the quote and confirmed your schedule and payment terms, we’ll send you the babysitter’s profile and set up a 30-minute online interview. The support fee is 250K VND (excl. VAT), deducted from your total when you confirm the booking.
If the babysitter isn’t the right fit, we’ll introduce another one at no extra charge.
