Did you hear the circus is in town? Which museum tickets are on sale? We exchange information about local fun activities. Sometimes, we carpool or meet at the venues. Have fun with kids and parents at your school. Come and join us!

Being a parent is the hardest and the most important job you will ever have in your life. It is a job a person is never fully prepared for, nor can accomplish entirely alone. Parents need support from each other. By joining this group, you develop genuine connections with other caring parents. Share your insights. Ask questions. Foster competent parenting, relationship development, and family management skills.

A group of interested Milpitas parents who want to trade babysitting each others' children to reduce cost and for our kids to play with friends. Must be screened to join the website where hours are tracked. No money is exchanged, just points. This is not a business, just a group of parents. HOW CAN I JOIN THE COOP? 1. Learn how it works on https://www.babysittingcoop.com/index.php?page=5 2. Sign up as a babysitter for free on Care.com. Have a background check done on the site for $9. Click "view my background check" and print it out. 3. Send a message to the FB page to set a time for us to meet in person at school or library with our children. Bring the background check, children's birth certificates and your license to verify you are the parent/guardian. No copies will be made. It's just for security and safety reasons. 4. I'll give you the code to join the group here: https://www.babysittingcoop.com/index.php?page=4&tab=3 5. Pay $9/year to use the coopbabysitting.com website. 6. Join the private FB Milpitas Babysitting Coop group. 7. That's it! Just log onto the website to post sits, and babysit in return! 8. Invite your friends/relatives and babysit for each other on the site too. More availabilities makes it easier to find a babysitter. Take less time off from work, have more emergency contacts, go on that date night, clean the house uninterrupted, list goes on and on. Best of all kids get to play with friends. :). Everyone is happy.
