Most single parents who are dating find babysitting expenses to be more than they can handle on a single income. 

The idea of having the woman’s date pick up the tab for the babysitter has been suggested by some and rejected by others. 

If the man is picking up the tab for the night out, then the woman should be responsible for covering her own childcare expenses. However, if she can’t afford to pay a babysitter, there are still other options for child care coverage.

SINGLE PARENT DATING TIP #1 - TRADE BABYSITTING 

First, she could find someone in a similar situation and trade babysitting.  When she has a date, the other single parent babysits.  When that parent has a date, she babysits.  This can be beneficial to all involved, but the parents agreeing to this type of shared child care need to be sure that they have an equitable arrangement.  Consider a situation where one parent only has 1 child but the parent she’s agreed to trade babysitting with has 3 children.  It would be tough to trade childcare fairly.

SINGLE PARENT DATING TIP #2 - JOIN A BABYSITTING COOPERATIVE  

An alternative to trading babysitting is joining or starting a babysitting cooperative.  In a co-op, parents earn points for the number of children and the number of hours they care for another parent’s children in the group.  The parents take turns acting as the secretary keeping track of the number of babysitting hours earned and used by all the parents in the group. Sometimes, they even earn points for their turn at being secretary.  Each parent is able to redeem points for babysitting services performed by another parent in the group.

SINGLE PARENT DATING TIP #3 - BRING THE CHILD ALONG ON THE DATE 

Another option is to bring the children along, if this is mutually agreeable and when they are a couple, past casual dating.  This option should only be used occasionally.  Adults need time to themselves, especially in a new relationship. 

Also, the additional cost for the children to accompany the couple to dinner or a movie may be close to or even equal to the cost of a sitter.

SINGLE PARENT DATING TIP #4 - SPLIT THE BABYSITTING

If both adults are single parents, they may consider leaving all the children at either house and splitting the cost of one babysitter. 

There are several different options for single parents wanting to date who need childcare, and all should be exhausted before turning down a date for lack of a babysitter or the funds to pay one.
