Temporary Nanny/Childcare help

in Washington Babies

I am looking for some temporary help with my twins - my husband has to go out of town next month for work for about a week and I think I will need a little help. We don't have any family in the area and nobody else really available to help out. I am anticipating that by the third or fourth day I may be hallucinating from lack of sleep and may just need a little break!! So, I'm thinking just someone to help during the day to allow me to get some sleep or get things done?

Any advice on this? Should I try to hire a part-time nanny for that week? Any other ideas? Any recommendations for a Nanny?

Thanks!?

    It sounds like hiring a sitter would be helpful. I don't have anyone to recommend, but you can try the website care.com to search, there are lots of sitters on there and I think the site does background checks (not positive though).

    You husband doesn't work for MS does he?  There's an "emergency childcare" benefit you could tap into..

    There have been some changes to the MS childcare thing -- I think it gets taxed now so you may be better off finding someone outside this if you can.  I'd come but two Mom's and 4 babies might be worse than you alone Smile
