Guide Review - Smart Mom's Baby-Sitting Co-op Handbook
Myers begins the book by defining various styles of babysitting co-ops and addressing common concerns. Some chapter titles include: What is a Co-op And Why Do I Need One?, How Do I Get the Most From My Co-op?, Date And Dine-out More Often: The Secret About Evening Sits, Be a Sitter: Just Say When. There is also a chapter devoted to feedback from mothers who have used the book.
The Smart Mom's Babysitting Co-op Handbook contains all the information you need to start your own co-op from scratch with your close friends or with a large group. The great thing about the program is that it is on a point system. No money is required for sits, you baby sit for others to earn points and pay points for others to sit for you. Another plus is that there is a secretary that schedules the sits so as a mother you only need to make one phone call to find a sitter.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who thinks they might be interested in starting a babysitting co-op or wants to join one that already exists. Warning! Do not read this book unless you really want to join or start a babysitting co-op; because when you're finished reading it, you'll want to for sure!
