@johnbishop thank you for the recommendation to contact Mayo Clinic's Concierge services. They were very helpful. If other parents in a similar situation are seeking help, I will say that the Concierge referred me to College Nannies + Sitters. They are a franchise with sitters and nannies who have received background screenings and training. They were extremely helpful and understanding of the situation and said they often provide sitters for families that are visiting Mayo. We were able to arrange for a sitter to come to our hotel for a few hours and watch our children while my husband comes with me to my consultation.

@roch we have never been to the Rochester area before, so I would really appreciate some suggestions on places to visit with our kids. They are 7 and 4 and love to be outdoors!
