Whether you’re heading to work in Syokimau, hosting guests in Kilimani, or managing errands in Eldoret—finding safe, reliable childcare is non-negotiable. But with so many options, how do you choose the right daycare or babysitter?
Here are five things to check before you book childcare services in Kenya:
✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?
Your child’s safety and happiness depend on who’s watching them. You need someone with proven trust and experience.
What to look for:
- Verified badge on the Balozy App
- Ratings and reviews from real parents
- Photos of the daycare setup or babysitting environment
- Clear service descriptions (infants, toddlers, after-school care)
💡 On Balozy, every caregiver is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.
🧠 2. Do They Understand Child Development and Safety?
Childcare isn’t just about supervision—it’s about stimulation, safety, and emotional care.
Ask before booking:
- ✅What activities do you offer for different age groups?
- ✅Are you trained in first aid or emergency response?
- ✅How do you handle tantrums, naps, or feeding schedules?
📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?
Booking someone from your estate or cluster means easier drop-offs, faster response, and better follow-up.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly and Respectfully?
You want someone who updates you, listens to your concerns, and respects your parenting style—not someone who improvises or ignores instructions.
Look for:
- ✅Fast response time on the app
- ✅Transparent pricing and service scope
- ✅Respectful, nurturing tone
🧼 5. Do They Offer Clean, Stimulating Environments?
Whether it’s a home-based babysitter or a full daycare center, the space should be clean, safe, and engaging.
