[quote=Anonymous]We tried and only lasted a summer. We had full time care lined up ($500 per week) plus about 4 different camps lined up for each child. We thought the summer would be easy with a solid FT gig for a teacher. She ended up having a conflict in August and it turned into a logistical nightmare quickly. After school care was the plan and grandparents 1 day a week and flexing our schedules was the plan during the school year. Within 2 weeks that summer we realized relying on grandparents driving 25 minutes often is not realistic; and flexing our job schedule that much would end in unemployment. Fortunately we were able to get an OOC AP by October. Only use 20 hours a week but for holidays, weather, sick kid, it is worth the piece of mind; as much as I do not like housing a stranger and providing a car/food/etc.[/quote]
