There is a simple way to have free babysitting and only have to pay for the outing you are going to. Many parents used to do this back in the seventies.
What you need to do is organize the parents in your town. You can start with the parents you know and trust. Make up a chart with all of the people’s names on it and phone numbers. For example, if you want to go out with your spouse to a wedding than you will ask one of the parents to baby-sit for your child or children. In return, the parents will watch your child or children for and babysit for free. You will get a check mark next to your name that you used a free babysitter one time.
This free babysitting process takes a lot of stress off of your pocketbook and saves you the time to find a trusted babysitter. It is a win-win situation for parents and the children.
Before starting, you all should sit down and make up rules and type them up so everyone has a copy. Have the paper laminated or use a plastic coated cover such as one you find at a discount store for important school papers or photographs.
Some free babysitting rules could be:
*Be in bed by 9:30 p.m.
*No sugar after 7:30 p.m.
*No Internet access without supervision.
Use whatever rules you and the other parents deem necessary so you all feel comfortable.
Make sure you give each other your cell phone numbers and a signed slip that gives the babysitting parents permission to take your child or children to the emergency room or a physician in case of emergency.
Enjoy going out feeling secure and knowing that each hour you stay out you do not owe more and more money.
