We're midway through our second month as a childcare swap group. I've been looking at September and October's calendars and noticing how far we've come already:
-There were eight total requested childcare swaps for the month of September, two of which went unfilled. There are 15 scheduled or completed swaps for the month of October and so far only one has gone unfilled.
-From September to October, our group has grown from four to eight families.
-There were no whole group get togethers in September, but we scheduled one for October!
-Our October calendar has been much more fluid than September, with members adding last minute care needs and using our group email to get them filled, deleting care from the calendar when no longer needed, or multiple members offering to cover the same time slot and ending up with a playdate!
-In September most group members emailed or texted me and the group about care needs and ability to provide, and I did most of the calendar editing. In October our group members seem to have gotten comfortable with the calendar doc and are doing their own posting!
This seems like pretty good progress for a month and a half! I'm excited to see the group continue to grow and evolve.
