One significant cost of entertainment is often the baby sitter.

You can take turns looking after each others children when one couple wants to go out, and you’ll not only save money but also get to know your friends and their kids better. The idea of a babysitting club may have occurred to you before. The challenge of course, is how to create a babysitting club.We’ll provide you will the full details here.

Why Create A Babysitting Club

How much is babysitting charge? Too much for many families. It just adds up quickly with most babysitters getting between $8-$16 per hour.

For many parents the idea of a ‘date night’ just isn’t in the realm of possibilities because of the high cost of babysitting.  A simple night out for dinner and a movie just adds up too quickly.  Always asking a friend for a favor can grow old.  That is why a babysitting club is a perfect solution. 

You can gather a group of moms that need babysitting and you can all get a chance to go out without breaking the bank.  By taking turns babysitting for each other, you all get access to free babysitting. Plus, the group of moms can be people you know and trust. What’s more? Having a babysitting club means it is like your kids are on a playdate while you are on your husband-wife date night.

How To Create A Babysitting Club

First you need to select potential babysitting club members.  Next you need to invite the potential members to the group and keep track of who is joining and provide the whole group with the member information.  Then you must select a way that members will communicate their babysitting requests with the group.  You must also come up with some sort of system to tally the points so that one person doesn’t get stuck doing all the babysitting.  As you can see, even though it is worth the effort, creating a babysitting club can take time.

It seems we are all running short on time these days.  That is why one mom came up with a brilliant solution to make creating a babysitting club easy!  She decided to make the wonders of modern technology work for her.  After 9 months of development and lots of research, the Mummy Minders app was born.  This clever app allows moms to co-ordinate all aspects of a babysitting club with the touch of a finger from their phone.

Try A Babysitting Club App

You may prefer to use Babysitting Apps that allows moms to create a babysitting club easily and to manage it easily.  Moms simply create a group made up of their friends and the app is ready to go. The app keeps track of everything, jobs posted, who accepts the job and it even allocates all the points.  

Use the Babysitting Club App to:

  • Create Your Group
  • Invite Group Members
  • Post Babysitting Requests To Group Members
  • See If The Potential Provider Has Taken A Babysitting Course
  • Accept Babysitting Requests
  • Tally Points

Make sure the app is safe and secure. No addresses or phone numbers should be required to use the app. As your babysitting club is only made up of your trusted friends or family that kind of personal information is not required.

Browse your app store or try sitter.app or komae app

Conclusion

Thanks to a babysitting club and the option to trade free child care, ‘date night’ might just be put back on the calendar! I don’t know about you but I could always use a fun night out to give and get undivided attention from my partner.

Have you tried a babysitting club yet?  If you haven’t, do you think you will use these tips on how to start a babysitting club?  If you have, how did you like being a part of the club?
