Child Care

Family child care is the use of government quarters to provide adequate child care for working military and civilian families. FCC providers are trained and certified before child care is authorized. All providers are closely monitored by the FCC director, FCC trainer and the community health nurse. This program gives parents the option of having their child(ren) in home-like settings.

What full-day or before/after-school child care is available?

We offer three viable child care options

1. Family Child Care (licensed contractors)

2. On-base child care centers

Babysitter Referral Services

Looking for a Teen Babysitter? Looking to be a Teen Babysitter? CYS offers training following the 4-H babysitter curriculum in becoming a certified Teen Babysitter. Teen military family members in grades 7 and up who wish to expand and market themselves for babysitting jobs can be placed on the babysitter's referral list with parent permission.

Military parents needing babysitters must complete a request form located at Parent Central Services. Once parents complete the required form, they will receive a list of babysitter information based on specified requirements (location, availability, etc.). After receiving a list of babysitters, parents can make arrangements directly with the babysitter. All arrangements and fees for care are between the parent and babysitter.

CYS offers Babysitting Referral Services for registered families. Babysitters on the referral list are 13 years or older, have certification in First Aid and CPR, and are trained in:

• Developmentally appropriate play
• Recognition of child abuse/neglect
• Emergency procedures and interviewing

Stop by Parent Central Services or go back to the Register section to find out more information.
