[quote=Anonymous]You'd be hiring a summer babysitter, not a nanny share. Someone like a college student home for the summer or a graduated senior headed to college in the fall. That person would probably want at least $15/hour for one kid, so $600/week, which isn't any cheaper than camps. Add in more kids, and you're going to increase the hourly rate--say you find two kids, close in age, and the sitter will take $20/hour, that's still $400/week for you in base salary,. You can find camps for at or near that price, especially if you look at stuff run by the county. At age six, you'd need kids close in age who enjoyed playing together and got along well, so if your kid has a friend whose parents wanted to do it at the same times that you did, that might work. You'd also need to agree on what kinds of activities the kids could do--any classes? Going to the pool? Can the sitter drive them anywhere? Plus factor in the cost of those activities. [/quote]
