[quote=Anonymous]We've done this three times in different cities. High-end and business hotels use reputable, bonded babysitting agencies and will arrange a sitter for you. Expect to pay between $20-30/hour, though (at least that's what they charged in Tokyo and Singapore). These women are often professional teachers, nannies or other child-care pros and come with their credentials. The front desk will be quite attuned to the situation, in my experience. I totally understand why people wouldn't do it and are judgmental - I never thought I would do it, and I was judgmental too - but my husband persuaded me once in Tokyo, and the nanny was so fabulous that it eased my mind a bit. She made origami cranes for my child, wrote down every pee and poop and snack, and was just generally lovely. She was a teacher at a local Montessori school just making some extra money on the side. So it can be safe, OP! [/quote]
