4 Huge Benefits of Babysitting Co-ops

If you haven't yet experienced the benefits of participating in a babysitting co-op you're in for a treat. When people say that their babysitting co-ops changed their lives, they're not exaggerating. The benefits are real, and you start to notice them from the very start. Here are 4 of the most noticeable benefits:

Save Money
Babysitting is not fun to pay for, especially when you're hiring a sitter so you can go to the dentist. Since participating in a babysitting co-op doesn't cost you a single dime, you'll notice the financial benefits immediately. What will you use that money for?

Find Time
Have you ever gone away from your kids for just an hour or two and come back feeling refreshed and ready to be a mom again? What if you could count on time like this on a regular basis? You could take up that hobby you've been putting aside for someday.

Build Community
Life is happier when you have a group of other parents and their children that you know and trust. Your kids feel more secure in a world where there are other adults looking out for them and seeking out their best interest, and your babysitting co-op can become a force for good in your community.

Make Friends
Moving to a new area is tough. Your social life has to start from scratch, and this can be quite difficult. By starting or joining a babysitting co-op, you can make a group of friends that may last for years and years. Often, we hear of women who have been friends since their babysitting co-op days, even though their children are now grown and gone.

Enrich your life by starting a babysitting co-op in your neighborhood.
