[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three kids and my husband and I have always worked full time.

We found that hiring a summer babysitter was cheaper than three kids at day camps.

Our set up for summer has been: 
Weeks 1-6: summer babysitter and swim team 
Week 7: week at grandparents 
Week 8: day camps or sleep away camps
Week 9: family vacation 
Week 10: day camps[/quote]

We do a very similar set up. It's not that hard to juggle.[/quote]

Have you run into any issues finding a summer sitter who will do only the first ~6 weeks or so?  I'm posted upthread and am considering something like this for next summer, wondering if there are students/sitters interested in only doing a half-summer so that we can still do some camps and trips.[/quote]
Many kids start back in August for college or HS sports and still want a couple of weeks to travel with family.  It doesn't seem that hard a schedule to fill.[/quote]

Plenty of teens/college kids just want an easy part summer job and don't want to spend their ENTIRE summer working. Plus, they usually go on family vacations as well in August. Ours spend half the day at the pool with the kids. There's other college kids they hang out with and they have a great tan. It's not a bad job.[/quote]
