You could try an online search like http://www.appbooker.com/, or look around your local area if you would prefer to interact with the app developer and designer in person.
In order to create a Mobile App, you will want to hire a developer (the fellow who writes all the code) and a designer (the fellow who makes the UI/ icon/ aesthetics of the app).
Communication is very important between you and the developer/ designer. Make up your mind about what you want the app to do, don't present a half baked idea to the developer and expect him to fill in the gaps. Even if you aren't a programmer, do some research into the capabilities of smartphones so that you don't try to hire someone to do something impossible (or at least needlessly difficult).
Regarding pricing, you are probably looking at a few thousand dollars (minimum) for a very, very simple app. $5,000 - $10,000 for a more complex app and if your idea is a mobile game, then you might need to break your piggy bank, I read Angry Birds cost ~$140,000 to make.
I am an Android developer with connections to designers and iOS developers, feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions.
