It’s quite common for affluent families to send their kids to summer camps, and understandably, many of them seek assistance in getting their children ready for the experience. What might raise an eyebrow, however, is the revelation that some mothers are hiring “trunk packing” specialists for as much as $1,000 to organize their kids’ camp gear. Clearly, they feel this task is too significant to delegate to nannies or housekeepers!
One such packing expert, Jenna Simmons of Smart Solutions, shared with the Daily Gazette that it typically takes her three to four hours to complete the packing for her clients. Many are more than willing to pay the price. “I’ve calmed down several parents who were overwhelmed,” Simmons mentioned. “For many moms, especially when it’s their child’s first time away, the process can be incredibly stressful. Clients often express a desire to feel the fabric of the sheets for comfort.”
It’s a prime example of how having extra cash leads to unique spending choices, right? While it may seem extravagant, this trend definitely highlights the pressures faced by parents in today’s world.
