Could a Babysitting Co-op Help You?
Finding a babysitter can be hard, whether or not a child has special needs. And often parents on a tight budget can’t afford to pay a sitter, even one who’s willing and reliable.
Introducing Hive Moms
If you’re suffering from the babysitter blues, Hive Moms may be able to help you. Here’s some information from the www.HiveMoms.com website:
…HiveMoms.com is about moms and dads searching for babysitters among neighborhood parents that they know and can trust. HiveMoms.com provides a service that brings moms or dads together in local communities, to get to know each other and exchange babysitting time. Our babysitter coop, co-op community is nationwide – we have co-ops in over 40 states so you can start or join a local neighborhood exchange no matter where you live.

Can We Do a Hive Mama Twist
I encourage you to go to the website and poke around. Kareen has some really cool flow charts, point systems, data bases, and other good stuff to explore. Maybe they’ll get your creative juices flowing, and you’ll come up with a Hive Mama twist for families of kids with special needs.
