I think this is an amazing endeavor. 25 immigrant women have formed a women-run cooperative business that provides full and part-time care for children.  They earn 100% of their fees.  They are all CPR trained.  It just opened in Sunset Park.  I wanted to highlight it for you.  I called today so I can try out a sitter next weekend. Will keep you all posted on how it goes.
