[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid, my mom lived 20 minutes drive from her parents, who would watch us if my mom needed. She also had sisters (one a teen, the other in her early 20s) who would help out occasionally. And literally a dozen teenage/early 20s female cousins that lived within an hours drive. I remember a summer when I was about 6 or 7 and each week, a different one of these cousins came and stayed with us to help out with me and my younger siblings. My mom paid them, but still it was a lot cheaper and more flexible/convenient timing than hiring a nanny or using camp/daycare. [/quote]
