We love them, but even the most dedicate Mom needs a break every now and then. Relatives and friends can only help so much, and there's always that one time when no one is available. But sometimes that is exactly what a mom needs. Whether you plan to use the Co-op a lot, or only from time to time it's always a fair trade. It's not a complicated idea, but the outcome might just surprise you.
Moms get more done, the children have new playmates, and life long friendships are often formed.
Knowing that they have a certain amount of sit time available to them, Moms are able to better plan their time. Many Moms in Co-ops find that they have time to volunteer or to participate in their favorite activities again and can do so knowing that their kids are being taken care of by a trusted person in a safe environment. A Co-op is founded by Moms that know each other and are comfortable taking care of each other's children in their own homes. What the Co-op does is organize the process. A secretary is needed to keep track of the points and centralize booking the sits.
