Babysitting Co-op

Babysitting Co-Op
 
WHAT IS THE BABYSITTING CO-OP?
 

Our babysitting cooperative consists of a number of families in WFN who decide to share
babysitting amongst themselves without the exchange of money.

  

Babysitting co-ops usually are intended for occasional and not regular child care.

If regular child care is needed, other arrangements are usually made.

     
HOW DOES THE CO-OP WORK?
     

For every sit you do, you get positive points, and for every sit you need, you get negative points--

so it's a bit like exchanging babysitting with a friend except that you have a "pool" of experienced

 moms and dads to choose from (no more cancellations because the sitter can't come!).
