Babysitter in Paris?
January 14, 2019 1:49 PM Subscribe
Mrs. Weary and I will be traveling to Paris this spring with our (then) 18-month-old. I'd really like to take her out for one nice, romantical, adult dinner while we're there. What are your tips on how to find a trustworthy babysitter while traveling?
Best answer: We recently went through the same situation while on vacation in Japan (with our then 18 month old as well!). We were staying at an Airbnb and so could not rely on a hotel for recommendations.
We ended up using babysitters.jp for two nights and were extremely happy. Unfortunately that particular service is Japan-specific but I found them by: 1) googling "english babysitting Japan" and "english babysitting Tokyo", 2) researching the results returned and reading reviews closely, and then 3) emailing with them and being clear about our expectations. Perhaps you could go through a very similar process for France?
It was heavenly, and absolutely worth the money to have an adult night out. Good luck!
