I found a creative way to outsource my kids' day-care pickups and drop-offs. It helped me get back 7 hours a week.
By creating a win-win deal with our day-care provider, I no longer have to drop off or pick up my young kids from day care. It's given me time back.
A working mom discovered a creative solution to save time and regain her sanity by lending her van to her day-care provider. The arrangement allowed the provider to pick up and drop off the children, while the mom got back roughly seven hours of her week. After discussing the idea with her insurance company and increasing her auto liability coverage, the mom and provider agreed to share gas costs and be responsible for any repairs.
The new setup reduced tantrums on drop-off days and provided the mom with extra time to attend to her work and personal needs. The mom encourages others to examine their routines for potential improvements and resource-sharing opportunities.
