CareShare
Co-op Cincy will expand their CareShare worker- and parent-owned childcare cooperative that provides care for up to five children in a family home. CareShare will facilitate the 'nanny share' matching process, handle payroll and taxes, ensure teachers are paid at least $15 per hour with benefits, and conduct a 12-week course on co-op development and building support mechanisms. Co-op Cincy will expand this program to Jackson, Mississippi; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Santa Ana, California in partnership with existing cooperatives in those communities that are empowering underserved communities.
