Premier Childcare for Traveling Families

We're a Sri Lankan-Canadian couple who've called the Canadian Rockies home for over two decades. We're both engineering managers working across Canada and the United States — the kind of people who solve problems for a living.

Every year, we bring our two young children (5 and 3) back to Sri Lanka to visit family and enjoy the southern coast. And every year, we hit the same wall: there's no reliable childcare for traveling families.

We wanted a dinner out in Mirissa. A surf session in Weligama. A single evening where we could be a couple again — not just parents. But every time, we faced the same question: “Who watches the kids?”

We asked hotels. We asked friends. We tried informal arrangements. Nothing felt safe enough for our own children. No camera. No consent forms. No accountability. Just “trust me” — and as parents, that's not good enough.

So we built what we wished existed.

Ceylon Nannies is the service we designed as engineers and tested as parents. It began with the nanny we personally trusted with our own children — and from there we built a proper standard: North American procedures, video check-ins on request, signed agreements, and background checks for every nanny who joins us.

We keep the team small and hand-picked on purpose. Every nanny is vetted the same way we'd vet someone caring for our own kids — because that's exactly the bar we started with. If we wouldn't leave our children with them, we won't send them to yours.

Today, we serve families from Europe, Australia, North America, and beyond — across Sri Lanka, from Colombo and Kandy to the south coast. Our nannies speak fluent English, video check-ins let you see your little one anytime, and every booking comes with the same care and accountability we demand for our own family.
