All depends where you are staying & if there are other staff & how many children & their age.
I have arranged nannies before for friends & I advise them not to leave the children especially toddlers by the pool as very few of the girls can swim & it is too much of a responsibility. I think it works best it they help you with the children but do not go off for the day & leave them to it. I find the girls very caring but sometimes not so firm & if you have a strong minded toddler they are not so good at saying no. Again if you want them at night, best to put the children to bed & then go for dinner.
