Nanny For Anniversary Vacation - We will be celebrating a milest...

Full Time $15 – 21/hr Starts 04/03 Grand Rapids, MI
We will be celebrating a milestone anniversary this coming April. This would be the first time we have travelled as a couple for leisure in 5 years. I hope to take my wife somewhere exciting for at least a few days and if possible the whole week. Both our parents are too elderly to expect they can watch the kids. So I'm looking for some help to make this happen! Possibly my parents will come to town to help provide some extra support. However we would need a full time nanny for this week. In the past my wife has prepared meals for my parents to give. I would like to find someone who is comfortable cooking so that she isn't spending so much time preparing for this trip that she needs a vacation from the vacation on day 1. For this to go well we want to find sitters who can start getting to know our kids sooner -- so we would also be looking to have you come over ahead of time to help out while we have a date night and the kids get comfortable with you. They have had some regular sitters who put them to sleep and it's gone smoothly. We hope we can find someone who can also juggle keeping the house together (which we expect the kids help keep their own areas neat). Finally given we would be gone a few days to a week we would want the kids to get out to activities like the gardens or children's museum. Two of our children have a visual disability which requires they wear sunglasses when outside. We have no pets.
