Al li, thank you - that is exactly what I am looking for. I have dropped them a line and will post back any information I find out.

I was also going to suggest In Safe Hands. I have never used them before so I have no idea how much it would cost but you could always call them up and find out.

Thanks, I checked with them. $170 per hour, plus 20% to the agent and $50 transportation charge after 9pm ($100 after midnight). So $866 minimum charge for an evenings babysitting!

Ahhh sorry for not being much help then! Hope you found something closer to what you were expecting to pay! Please let us know how it all goes too.

We are in the same situation as yourselves. I found our sitter on Gumtree. A local university student (since graduated) who has extensive experience babysitting and has done a first aid course. She is very reliable and our little boy likes her.

Look on Gumtree Hong Kong (online) and you should find similar. You will have to sort through all the ads from domestic helpers looking for p/t to find the right ads.

We pay $200 for first hour and $50 for each following hour.

Thanks! Would you be able to share her contact details - after checking with her?

we used to happily pay the higher fee for rent-a-mum's services, knowing you get trustworthy sitters who are well qualified to look after a baby. the lady who runs rent-a-mum was a bit on the lazy side to return calls in time though, so last minute arrangements always turned a bit stressful.

my most trusted sitter works for this agency now: http://www.insafehands.com.hk/babysitting.htm haven't tried myself, but would trust her to make a good choice.

once our little one was a bit older, we would go with the "borrowing a friend's helper" option, but not while he was a baby

Hello everyone,

I am currently studying Mandarin in HK, and I am trying to find occasional babysits (evenings and weekends). Being the eldest sister of a 5-children family, I started babysitting very early and have now a lot of experience. I am French, but speak English fluently.

Here is my number, in case you would be interested : 9419 5167.

May I ask how much you charge?

Have you found a babysitter yet? I have a friend who is a teacher and a student who may have some free time.
