[quote=Anonymous]We have four. When we had babies who napped in the morning, a sitter would stay at the house with the baby and then bring her/him to the beach. Then the sitter could hang out with the baby, or another kid or two ...

Now that they're a little older, the sitter can play on the beach with the toddler while we go out in the waves with the older ones. Or, I can take the two oldest windsurfing while DH hangs at the beach with the younger ones and she gets the kids' lunches ready.

Or, sometimes she just follows the little ones around for a bit so DH and I can swim, too.

I can't wait until they're old enough to do like a PP says and have a sitter come to take them to the beach at 8 while DH and sleep in.

Then she goes home, and we hang with everyone the rest of the day. This year is the first year the kids are sleeping well enough for me to consider a nice dinner out, but we'll get a sitter for a couple of those, too.

In all, we pay this sitter $500-$600 for the week (total of about 30 hours max). It's less money and considerably less hassle than bringing another adult with us, even though our nanny would love to travel.[/quote]
