Guidelines and Rules for Babysitting

YMCA Babysitting is open to parents/guardians desiring to participate in the YMCA's activities. Baby sitting is a benefit to adult members of the YMCA. Non-members can use the Babysitting services for a fee while using the YMCA facilities and if space allows. Members have first priority. 

 

• This service is available to any adult member who is the parent or guardian of a child 6 weeks through age 7 years old free of charge. Non-members will be charged $5 an hour, per child, per visit.  

 

• All parents/guardians must sign their child in and out on a sign-in sheet, and must notify the staff where they will be located in the Bob Freesen YMCA.

 

• The Babysitting staff has been instructed to pull out any parent/guardian form their activity if the child misbehaves, cannot be consoled, or needs a diaper change. Staff also has discretion to contact the member if staff assesses a child to be sick. (see Sick Child Policy)

 

• The parent /guardian must remain in the facilities or on the grounds. If a member attends a YMCA program off site (i.e. tennis, CrossFit) then a cell number must be given to the Babysitting staff.

 

• All parents/guardian will be give this information and they must fill out all necessary paperwork BEFORE leaving child with the babysitter.

 

• Food – A bottle can be given by the staff only if provided a ready-made bottle by the parent. Spoon feeding is not allowed.

• Any suspected or know communicable disease until treatment has occurred, and the child is no longer considered contagious (this includes lice).

• Any unexplained temperature over 100 degrees in the past 24 hours.
