What Is A Baby-sitting Co-op?

A Co-op is a group of moms who agree to trade baby-sitting hours on a point basis. The Co-op provides one-call customer service. No more hunting and begging for a sitter. Make that appointment without even checking. It works. You can depend on it. And the sitter will always be a trusted friend.

How Does It Work?

You can use your Baby-sitting Co-op as much as you want, or as little as you want. It's always a fair trade. When you request a sitter, you spend points. When you sit for another mom, you earn points. Just make a deal with yourself to call for a sitter whenever you want. The points will always work out. Just make one call to the Secretary any time you want a sit. The sitter will always be a trusted friend. It is not about teenage baby-sitters.

Be A Sitter: Just Say When

Baby-sitting coverage will adapt to your needs and your schedule-not the other way around. You can make yourself available to be a sitter when it works for you. You will not be locked into a fixed schedule of babysitting. Someone will always be available to do a sit so you can always say "no". Other Moms will want the sit so they can earn points. This allows you to do a sit only when it works for you.
