I would probably just pay the nanny a bunch to stay the whole time and not bother with your parents (unless they’ll be offended)

My parents do want to come. These are their only grandchildren.

I may have parents watch big kids and have nanny watch toddler.

We had nanny spend the night many years ago when we had 2 kids. I think we paid her $200 to sleep and regular rate during day. My kids slept through the night and she just had to sleep in the house.

What if we offered nanny $1500 for weekend?

Very generous.

This and C, idk how much to pay her. Ask her how much she thinks is fair and go from there.

How far away are parents? Could mom come over 3-7 on Friday ( so nanny does not start until bed but grandma goes home!) and then grandma comes back at 10 on Sunday or whenever so nanny gets Sunday off and grandma watches till you get home.

They are out of state so they can’t come and go.

I have a feeling I will just end up not going. We haven’t been able to make this adult only getaway happen.

We have friends who have never left the kids so...

I do have a girlfriend getaway next month I am looking forward to. DH and I have gone away alone, just not together alone.
