I don't have to tell you how hard it is to find childcare in Jefferson County. But, it's doubly hard if you need childcare for an infant.
Starting September 11, 2018, a new infant care facility for babies 0-12 mo. will open it's doors at Trinity United Methodist Church (609 Taylor Street) in Port Townsend in the Uptown historical district. While this won't be a licensed facility, it will be staffed with loving volunteers who have all been extensively trained and background checked.
The hourly rate for care is $10 per hour. They accept cash or check. Financial assistance may be available.
You must make a reservation 2-4 weeks.
They are currently taking reservations for Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. They have availability for up to 6 infants.
They are looking for more volunteers to staff the care center.
If you're interested in being a volunteer or looking for childcare for your infant, please contact Kristelle Jose at 346-298-3683 or email at nurseryUMCtrinity@gmail.com.
You can access their Welcome Packet online at www.trinityumcpt.org/nursery
