We'd perhaps be away for max. half a day or so, and it's unlikely that
so much can go wrong in such a short time.

My brother in law and his wife live in Beijing, so the country is not
totally foreign to us.

Well, my wife speaks Chinese and China is not totally undeveloped
country anyway. I also guess you could talk to the babysitter first and
check her credentials. And by the way, they have babies also in China.
But of course it is important to find the right babysitter. In any case,
I'm not sure if I want to leave my baby with a babysitter in China. I
was just asking for some feedback and was curious to hear if anybody did
this before.
