Babysitting swaps help families on a budget

From Robin McClure, About.com GuideSeptember 5, 2009

Babysitting co-ops are nothing new.  But their concept is regaining popularity again as a way to help with ever-tightening family budgets.  For some, child care is a reason people are mulling over whether they can even afford a baby (or adding a sibling) in tough economic times. So, is it for you?  If you trust having parents in the group care for your kids and are willing to watch other people's kids when it comes your turn...why not give it a try!
