[quote=Anonymous]We are planning a trip with some friends and they mentioned they wanted to hire full time resort childcare but they are nervous because the last time they experienced this was a recent family trip and the childminders were awful even though they had limited resources - they couldn't take the kids to the kids club beach pool or out of the villa really.

I said I didn't think that was what those services were really for? I always thought you could hire someone through the resort to do 1 on 1 care at the kid center - with all the toys and part day or once the kids were asleep you could have them sit while you go out for drinks and dinner. That if you needed full time coverage it makes more sense to bring your own nanny or hire a travel nanny where you can actually interview, vet and the kids can get to know prior to.

We said maybe this wasn't the right trip to do together or they could do that but we wouldn't be comfortable. DH made a comment about wanting family vacation to be with family. Why would he have someone help all day on a family vacation. We would just leave the kids at home with their trusted nanny/grandparents if we wanted to get away. Later he apologized and meant for him personally but I know exactly what he meant. The trip these friends were referring to they were there with her parents, her brother and step brother and their families. Lots of helping hands to make sure everyone had kid free excursions but instead they complain about the subpar help.

I know my friend if pissy about it and I said why don't we just take a girl's trip later in the year but maybe at this age/stage it's best to not travel together with the kids. She wasn't happy with that either

Is it normal to hire full day help from a resort? [/quote]
