sitter service
Supporting busy moms by providing a few hours a week to focus on your business goals.
Free childcare for moms of elementary-age children
Providing a cooperative-style babysitting service so moms can have some time for themselves!
What exactly is this?
A 4-hour playdate with a free STEM activity at a local playground or public play place once a week. Moms can drop their children off and return for pickup within 4 hours. Registered parents take turns being the "babysitter" saving tons of money by paying with your time instead of your money.
Is it really free?
Moms can apply to join the co-op with a simple application and a $40 non-refundable registration fee. This fee applies to all children under the registered parent. The fee will help cover the cost of background checks and first aid training. So it is not COMPLETELY free but the $40 fee is for all children for the whole program so WAY less expensive than babysitters.
How does this work?
Each mom will choose a date/dates that they are available to "babysit". You "pay" with your time.
Two moms will be present for each date. Babysitting will never happen at someone's home or personal spaces.
We will provide CPR and First Aid certification for each mom.
No payments are made at any time (except for your registration fee).
This is open to children ages 4-9 years old. All children must be able to go to the bathroom on their own.
When will it start?
Registration will open on May 1st, 2024.
Playdates will begin on May 26th, 2024.
You can donate to this initiative today to support local moms working hard at their small businesses.
