Babysitting Exchange

This support system is designed as a short-term babysitting service. It is open to all members of the Exchange. It is a great way to run errands, go to doctor’s appointments or catch up on some quiet time. It is operated on a cooperative basis, with points, not money, exchanged for babysitting. There are three required meetings a year and many social activities for both moms and kids.

Such events provide, yet another opportunity, to serve as a backdrop within the community of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, associated with the purpose of each committee.

Volunteers are needed to provide food and to help serve.
