Parent Trap

Small Things Considered Baby Rental Agency Opens

Do you have a jealous other half, sky-high mortgage payments and a collection of scratched DVDs?

So you agree that possession is overrated?

Introducing Small Things Considered — a new rental agency that allows you to experience the joys of parenthood without the responsibilities. Operating primarily as a babysitting service for London-based parents, this new venture lends offspring (0-18 months) to unmarried thirtysomething men and women with a portion of the fee going back to the parents.

Take your borrowed baby along to children’s birthday parties (so much more fun seen through a kid’s eyes) or spend a peaceful day in the park getting a glimpse of life on the other side. At £89 an hour it’s not cheap, but your baby comes with insurance and a chic Yummy Mummy baby bag packed with all the supplies you’ll need.

We think you’ll find that the best things in life come in small doses.
