How can I afford babysitters so I can have a night out?

Babysitter--Can't Afford One!

Baby-sitting. I can't afford to pay a babysitter when I need a night out. Check with your network of friends. Set up a kid swap system—take turns watching each other's children to give the other parent a much needed “time out.” Make the night you are watching the kids a fun time—rent movies, plan a slumber party, or turn your home into a fun pizza parlor and let the kids make their own pizzas. Be imaginative and creative. Not only will mom get a night out, but the kids will look forward to their night out too.
