Brief Description

During worship and for some church events, a nursery is provided for children under five so that parents can fully participate in worship.  The nursery is staffed by volunteers.

Getting Involved

Those interested in being a nursery attendant should sign up on the schedule outside the nursery room.  Attendants must be 14 or older.  There is not a requirement that attendants have children of nursery age, and, in fact, all are encouraged to take a turn caring for the youngest in our congregation.  Nursery attendants supervise and play with the children while they are in the nursery.  Once the service is over, attendants are also responsible for ensuring that the nursery room has been picked up and that toys have been put away.

In addition to the nursery attendants, the Nursery Coordinator is responsible for maintaining the volunteer schedule and recruiting volunteer attendants.

Time

Volunteer attendants should be in the nursery room 10-15 minutes before the start of the service and should expect to stay until the last child is picked up by a parent (typically 5-10 minutes after the service).  The Nursery Coordinator time is spent creating the schedule or sign-up sheet and recruiting volunteers.
