To remove the ambiguity, the sentence should be written as:
(1) We believe that parents should pay grandparents to look after the children.
(it clearly involves three generations; grandparents, parents, and then children.)

(2) We believe that parents should pay their parents to look after their children.
("their" refers to "parents" in this case, but it is very clumsy!)
In your case, "their" should refer to "grandparents" according to rules of grammar.
