Request care in Chiang Mai

Area overview: Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai has a smaller, more relationship-driven childcare market than Bangkok. Many families are remote-working households or long-stay expats balancing flexible schedules with the need for stable, trustworthy daily childcare. Matching quality matters because the caregiver pool is smaller and routines vary significantly across households.

Family setups in Chiang Mai are also different. Many homes are houses with larger spaces, gardens, and pets rather than high-rise condos. Caregivers often need to support mixed routines across home, school runs, and activities, while adapting to both long-term residents and families still deciding whether Chiang Mai is their long-term base.

What we offer here

Full-time nanny support for remote-working households

We match caregivers who can run full daily routines so parents can protect focused work time while children receive consistent care, meals, play, and rest structure.

Part-time and flexible childcare windows

For families with non-traditional schedules, we support morning-only, school-hour, afternoon, and mixed weekly childcare arrangements.

Newborn and infant-focused placements

New parents can request caregivers with practical experience in newborn care, including feeding rhythm, safe sleep support, and calm early-stage transitions.

Short-term childcare for transitional stays

Families staying in Chiang Mai for a few months can still secure reliable childcare without committing to a long-term arrangement that does not match their timeline.

Typical family scenarios

Local tips for families

Clarify transport expectations before matching

Chiang Mai has no rail system, so school and activity logistics depend on road transport. Share route expectations early so caregiver-fit is realistic.

Define schedule stability vs flexibility in writing

Remote-work households often shift weekly calendars. A written baseline schedule with contingency windows helps caregivers plan and maintain consistency for children.

Set expectations for short-term placements early

If your family is in Chiang Mai temporarily, clarify duration and transition plan up front so childcare planning remains stable and transparent for all sides.
