#points = #kids * #hours
You can also earn points by hosting/attending playdates.
The host of a playdate receives [#points = #hours * #kids that attended].
The parents who stay at the playdate with their kids can also earn [#points = #hours] that they participated in a playdate.
Parents who drop off their kids and pick them up later spend [#points = #kids * 1/2*#hours] that they participated in the playdate.
This article, from a fellow fellow, details the reasons why the babysitting co-op failed. Originally run by congressional fellows (young, intelligent professionals), people started to hoard the "scrips" (or babysitting currency). So the scrips went out of circulation.
