SOS from a distressed mom

Nothing like family life to spice up your daily routine… and your end of the month! Whether you are a mom or dad, when you have one child or more, expenses add up very quickly. They can quickly represent a significant burden for families who want to organize their lives.

In itself, childcare represents one of the main expense items, regardless of the method chosen: nanny, babysitting, or daycare. We are not even addressing here the problem of daycares struggling to offer enough places for young children. The arrival of children at middle school will not spare you either. Indeed, depending on your child's needs, you will probably need to hire a private tutor in math or English. Again, rates can vary widely. But if you want to hire a real teacher, you will probably have to spend between €40 and €50.

What if this little vacant room could solve all your problems?

Very often, it turns out that families have a room that is little or not used in their home: the "ironing" corner, the playroom that your children ignore, the guest room… Did you know that this little corner of paradise could well solve your financial problems? Indeed, a vacant room represents an average rent of €350 per month. This depends on your location, whether in the city or in the countryside. You can perfectly well, as a Host, offer this room for free, in exchange for some services from a supportive Co-living partner that can make your daily life easier. For a mom, combining resources is a useful strategy.

For a room at €350 per month, you can therefore very well demand:
– 27 hours of home help
– More than 38 hours of Babysitting
– 14 hours of private lessons
– 10 hours of painting work
– 130 hours of certified nanny

The little extra?

If you are nostalgic for your university years, you can thus rediscover the joys of shared housing! And as it is never repeated enough: shared housing is not just for young people! With a bit of organization, being a mom can also benefit from these opportunities.
