Can the children have playdates with their friends on Saturday and have the sitter drop them off and pick them up from the playdates?
Why yes, in fact, that ends up as part of the overall plan
We're all set for next weekend - a complex plan relying on 4 different people.
Friday, 6pm: Sitter1 arrives at our house Friday 7pm: S5 and S7 head to a friends for a sleepover. Sitter 1 spends night at our house with S1 Saturday 7am: Sitter2 arrives. Sitter1 heads off to work. Saturday noonish: Mother-of-Sitter2 replaces Sitter2 for afternoon. Saturday 6pm: Sitter1 (now off of work) picks up S5 and S7, drives to our house, relieves Sitter2 Sitter1 spends night at our house, through Sunday PM when we get home.
So...we're all set.
5 days.
