A friend and I have just started a new website called Connect4Care to help families find another family in their neighbourhood to share childminding. We dropped into a few playgroups around our area yesterday and were thrilled with the response. A few mothers who were new to Sydney said this site would be great for ex-pats without family living in Australia, offering a way to connect with local mothers as well as a chance to get a break from the kids.
We're offering a 50% discount on membership to the first 100 people to "Like" us on our Facebook page so take a look when you get a minute.
