This idea came from Parent Magazine. It’s called Co-op babysitting. You watch a friend’s kids one weekend night and then they will watch your kids another. As with all babysitters the sitter goes to the kids' home so that they can be put into there own beds and then you take your kids home with you. This can be a one time event or an ongoing program (i.e. one month you watch their kids the other month they watch yours, etc.). I do both types so that almost every month my kids are watched at least once at “no cost.” Plus, as the kids get older you can do “sleep-overs” and really enjoy your night out.
Program Savings $35 per month ($7 per hour for 5 hours) and $420 annually.
