How to Save on Babysitting
“…Though there are official bartering clubs, informal bartering often takes place in churches and other groups. We used to have a baby-sitting co-op. That's a form of bartering and saved lots in babysitting money. Ours was based on a point system which was coordinated by a different member each month. We each paid in a few points every month to that coordinator and took turns coordinating. Other co-ops work with tickets.”*

This saved us sooo much! We were also able to enjoy wonderful date nights this way.
