Baby Sitters Guide for Expats in Beijing
Ayi Services will accommodate requests from families who are looking for English-speaking help that can also serve as nannies or baby sitters. Prices will vary depending on the agency and how long you require the domestic help. One-time baby-sitting may be possible to arrange although not always part of their services.

Some non-agency places to look for ayis are postings on City Weekend and TheBeijinger (http://www.thebeijinger.com) classifieds. Another place to check is on forums hosted by these sites, as well as on Beijing-Kids (http://www.beijing-kids.com/).
Flyers posted at local Jenny Lou’s supermarkets can also sometimes work wonders!
