[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] This was our setup with my own when they were younger. Now two are off to college. It’s easier to find sitters for 6 weeks or so. College kids start to leave mid August to return to college[/quote] If you lock them down ahead of time, they can also plan their vacations around it. And yes, they go back sooner so it's actually ideal for them in a lot of ways. [/quote]
