It Takes a Village Babysitting Coop

Want to connect with a community of supportive parents to share the journey (the struggle and joy is real!) of parenting with? Would you like to build new, long-lasting friendships with like-minded people? Do you want playmates for your children?

Come join the It Takes a Village Babysitting Coop! We're a new group of parents - both moms and dads - in the Holly Springs / Apex / Fuquay-Varina area who want to exchange free childcare in a warm, safe, community-building atmosphere. First and foremost, we want our children to be safe and loved. Secondly, we want to provide a supportive community for parents to go to work, get out of the house, have the occasional night out, or whatever you need to be your best self. And lastly, we want to make new friends while doing it.

Intrigued, but not in the specified area? If you're in the Triangle, just send a message letting us know a little more about you and we'll see what we can work out! :)

Sound like a match? Come join the It Takes a Village Babysitting Coop!

The It Take a Village Babysitting Cooperative is open to all parents -- married, separated, divorced, adoptive, single, same-sex, and still expecting. The most important criteria is that you love children and want to make some new friends.
