We’re looking for a reliable babysitter/nanny to help care for our two kids (ages 16 and 9) while my wife and I are away for a short anniversary trip in early April (5–6 days).

Responsibilities include being present overnight, helping with simple meals, and bedtime. Our 16-year-old is independent and helpful; our 9-year-old is easygoing and does well with structure.

We also have a small Yorkie–Bichon who needs to be fed and taken outside. The kids help with the dog, but we need the sitter to oversee and make sure she’s cared for.

CPR/First Aid preferred. References required. We’d like to do a meet-and-greet and possibly a short trial beforehand. Pay negotiable based on experience.
