Babysitting
The YWCA has one of the finest babysitting facilities in the Twin Cities. Your kids will love our friendly staff. Babysitting services are offered to infants and children ages 6 months thru 6 years old (Children 5-12 years old may also enjoy our Fit Kids Gyms). This service is included in your membership, so bring the little ones when you come to work out or swim.
Parents are welcome to check in on their child at any time. Please, we ask that if your child is sick that you not bring your child into the facility; for the well being of the other children and the staff.
Policies
Please read our Babysitting Policies before bringing your child in for babysitting. Babysitting is included in youth and family memberships, and is available to non-members for an additional fee.
