[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always organized summer like this: 
10 weeks of summer
1-6: hired babysitter to watch all three kids, they all did summer swim team and activities around our neighborhood. 
7: sleep away camp, each kid picked their own from ones that were affordable 
8: family vacation
9 and 10: day camp, same location for all three. [/quote]

We just started almost this exact approach with our kids last summer and really liked it. [/quote]

The hard part of this is finding a babysitter for full time work for only 6 weeks.[/quote]

I had no trouble at ALL last summer. I posted on care.com (on the rec of someone in my neighborhood who said they've done this every summer with no issue) and seriously had like 5 responses within hours, talked to multiple candidates (almost all college or graduate students here for the summer). I was surprised. Since college students often go back in August, the time frame of covering swim season works pretty well for them. And while they want to make money, it seemed like having some weeks off was a plus for them (beginning of June). So, I wouldn't count this out based on that. There is also a georgetown babysitter facebook page that had constant posts about college students looking for summer nanny gigs. [/quote]
