Hi H.,
I would suggest starting a Babysitting co-op for your area among friends and neighbors. It is run very similarly to what you and your friend that moved away had worked out. I started one in my area just recently and it is working very well. If you would like information on starting one you should check out www.geocities.com/babysittin_coop. This site has some great ideas on starting a babysitting co-op for your area. If you have any questions, you wanted to ask me, just shoot me an email at ____@____.com this helps,
G.
