4. Babysitting
Co-op Looking to solve
the babysitter dilemma? Try a babysitting coop. Learn from moms who
started a co-op that has been running successfully for almost five years.
We will go over how to recruit members, how many members are needed, how
to pay out and earn points for sits, how to do daytime and evening sits.
We used the book “The Smart Mom’s Baby Sitting Co-op Handbook” as our
guide, but made many adjustments over the years including reverse sits and
even overnight sits. Join us to learn more about starting your own
babysitting co-op. Wednesday,
January 31, 2007 8-9:30
p.m. Coffee
to a Tea with Sugar, 4541 California Ave SW.
