MomCo. Childcare Volunteer

    February 01, 2020 | Children by Marylou Palmer

    What to Expect

    Volunteer Clearances required.

    MomCo is a community group for moms that meets twice a month at North Main. Visit our webpage here for more details.  We provide safe, secure, & loving childcare for the children for the duration of the meeting. You’d be providing quality childcare twice a month for the MomCo meetup and should demonstrate a love for young children and an understanding of their eternal worth. Depending on the kids registered that year we could have Nursery, Preschool, or school aged kids to watch. The meetings run during the school year September – May and we follow all BASD protocols for closures.

    There should be two adults in each room. Those serving should profess a personal faith & relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Responsibilities

    During the meeting:

    1. Prep the room: turn on lights, scan for any potential safety hazards, look over your materials & lesson for the day, lay out the initial coloring sheets/ activities.
    2. Greet moms & kids.
      • Check to make sure they’re signed in
      • Tag their personal belongings with their name on masking tape with a sharpie. Be sure to ask for any specifics for kids: ie: bottle in bag – breastfed only, diaper rash cream in bag, etc. . .
    3. Go through lesson provided with kids. One leader, one volunteer per room. Snack is included.
    4. Prepare kids for pick up. Make sure any crafts or papers in the hallway with their names clearly marked before moms return for pick up.
