[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've always hired a sitter for the summer instead of doing camps so our kids can do swim team. [/quote]

There are plenty of teens who don't have summer jobs and would jump at the chance to be a summer sitter.[/quote]

Disagree. I've done this and it hasn't worked out now for 3 summers with 3 different nannies. Last years was the worst. Despite paying $25 an hour, she kept threatening to quit on us nonstop because she wasn't making enough money. I think maybe they have unrealistic expectations and it was a pretty easy gig with two well behaved girls. [/quote]

We had a lot of success splitting the summer between 2 graduating seniors and camps. The girls were friends - one recommended the other to us - and I think it was helpful they weren't doing full days of childcare day in and day out.

I will say - I don't think it was the best for my kids from a "staying occupied in a healthy way" perspective. They watched a lot of TV. [/quote]
