Looking for a nanny for my 5 year old and 1 1/2 year old a couple days a week for the next month. I need to get some things done in the yard and run errand, get my hair done and maybe have a night out for dinner with my husband. Is this something you can do?
Im looking for a babysitter on August 3 and 4. We will be coming into town with some friends. We will have three kids with us, ages 6, 2, and 2. We would love to go to some dinners without kids. Do you have any availability?
