Major hotel chains usually have contracts with local agencies, especially in large cities. I’d call around in the city you’re staying in and see which ones offer babysitting services, then plan to stay at one of those hotels on the nights you’ll want a sitter. We used the Intercontinental’s babysitting service once while we were at a wedding in the same hotel. Our daughter was fine and the sitter knew where to reach us. It didn’t feel any different than hiring a sitter in the states.

My parents brought our nanny with us. If that’s not possible they have sites like care.com just make sure there isn’t a language barrier and you understand each other and have background checks ect

I was an au pair twice I found both host families on aupairworld.com they also have a lot of information for au pairs and host families. I normally Skype with the families a few times before we agree on a arrangement.
