[quote=Anonymous]We went on a weeklong trip and left our kids who were 13 and 15 at the time. Asked a family friend (college student) to arrive at our house at 9pm every night and sleep there. The friend made sure my kids woke up every morning so they didn't miss the bus to school. No expectations on meal preparation or anything. We ended up texting a lot which was useful. We preplanned driving to all activities by using our carpools (paid it forward and afterwards to make up for it)...with grandparents stepping in 2-3X to drop off dinners and provide rides where required. It was for a week...we originally agreed on $100 a night but we rounded up to $1000. Worked out perfectly. If my oldest had a license, I might not hire the college student for overnights...I might just ask grandparents to stop by more often. [/quote]
