Baby Prestige carefully vets their bilingual babysitters, and is able to accommodate on fairly short notice. They also offer more long-term childcare options for residents.

The American staff here know Paris intimately: Not only will they send you to the best spots, but they'll get you the best tables and hotel rooms, too. They also provide property management services to residents.
