The Idea
This idea came about when my son was about to start school, and we had to think about how we were going to cope during the many holidays, and after school care. It occurred to me that there must be other parents that have the same problem, and how parents could share the care of their children. For instance, at half term you may decide to share with another family, so that you looked after your child and the sharers child/children for a couple of days, and your sharer would also do the same with your child.
Letssharecare.com is a site which allows parents/guardians to share the care of their children during school vacations, and after school. Its the cheap and affordable alternative to childminders, play schemes and nurseries.
You may be looking to share:
After school childcare.
Summer holiday childcare.
School Runs
Easter, Half Term, Christmas childcare.
Or maybe you're looking to share childcare for part of the working week, with another parent in a similar situation.
Registration is free and this enables you to search the database for suitable parents to share childcare within your area.
