We're a Canadian family on summer break in SF, planning a move to the Bay Area. My wife owns a condo in the city, and that's where I'm staying with the girls while she explores options.
In the first phase, I just need someone to play with the girls and keep them occupied in the living room while I work in the next room. Once they and I are comfortable with the sitter, I'll head out to take meetings etc. in the city.
Still figuring out the ideal timing, so there's some flexibility at the moment.
