[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APs get two weeks of vacation but otherwise they're there. With a 2nd grader you'd have plenty of hours to get through the week, though in the summer you'd need at least a part-time camp. But yes if you rematched you could be without care. Though I think you can get a short-timer to fill in -- you'd have to ask your LCC.[/quote] Why would you need a part time camp in the summer if you’re paying an au pair? She can schedule some playdates and maybe a week of so or camps.[/quote] Depends on your job and hours, but 45 hours isn't a lot when the kiddo doesn't have any scheduled activities. We had to do half day camps at least a few days a week in the summer to avoid hitting the hours ceiling.[/quote] +1 -- especially if you want time for yourself, the 45 hours will go fast. And personally we like the kid in camp half-day. A summer with nothing to do is a LONG summer.[/quote]
