Childcare for next Whittier PTA Meeting
Girl Scout Troop #45301 is offering free childcare at the next Whittier PTA Meeting on March 15th. Our troop of 13 Cadettes will be in the midst of earning their Babysitter Badge. We will have all sorts of activities available for the kiddos. We can accept ages 3 through 5th grade. Snacks will not be provided, so please make sure your child is well-fed.
Troop parents will also be on hand for extra supervision. We as leaders, have had background checks (as have most of the parents that will be helping) and are CPR and First-Aid certified. We also have two Cadettes that have gone through both the Babysitting Class and the Child CPR/First Aid Class through Seattle Children's.
