We have just got back a week ago from the Jayakarta.
The babysitters were great!
We had a few good nights out.Our kids are 4,5&6.The locals are very good with children and that passes on with babysitters.Ours were overly polite and good natured.We payed about $15 inc.tip.For about 4 hours.They were booked by the hotel and we found that they really need the money and would'nt dare do anything to gain a bad reputation.
One tip though we took a $5 bottle of champagne with us as we found to buy it there it was 2 million rup.It is worth taking one or two to give as tips you should see their faces,it's like they have just won lotto!!!
Enjoy!!!
PS.we got Bali belly and it ruined our hols.Beware!!!!!
