Cumberland Community Schools Society (CCSS) is hosting a Babysitter Meet and Greet event at Cumberland Community School in the Beaufort Multipurpose Room, on Nov.e 21 from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30p.m.. Cumberland and Royston based families are encouraged to attend. 

The kid friendly event allows the opportunity for parents to meet youth in their neighbourhood who are eager to start their babysitting careers. Parents can meet potential babysitters and decide who would be the best fit for their family. Children are able to get to know their future babysitter before they come over, and youth can decide if the family is the right fit for them as well. Babysitters are offering a range of services from date nights, to after school care, and even entertaining toddlers while parents work from home.

鈥淲e have been hosting prep sessions to get the students ready for this event. They have been making posters advertising their individual skills and practicing interview questions. The students are very excited for this event and to start or continue their babysitting careers,鈥� said Kate Ashton, Program Coordinator at Cumberland Community Schools Society. 鈥淏ring the kids to the event, have a cup of tea and a cookie and get ready to start planning a date night!鈥�

The babysitters are students at Cumberland Community School in grades 6 through 8. They live in either Cumberland or the Royston area and as such, this event is targeted to families that live in those areas as well. For more information on this event, please email Kate at coordinator@ccssociety.org.
