Child Care/Nanny
minimum of 1 hour per week for a minimum of 3 months
Would you like to help young mothers by sharing your journey through motherhood? Journey Beside Mothers (JBM) is responding to a need in our community to support mothers of children, newborn through preschool-aged, who need the support families have traditionally been able to give. Volunteers will be matched according to the mother’s needs, with a weekly minimum time commitment of 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
As a mentor, you will offer support to new moms.
Mentors can assist with caring for the infant or engage with older children while the mom takes care of other responsibilities. A mentor can accompany moms to stores, playgrounds, doctors’ appointments, walks, run errands, or help with light housework. A mentor will help the moms grow and cheer them on as they take on this new role. Mentors can become a friend to talk to, someone to help with meal plans, meet for coffee, or even go for a walk in the park!
Building a relationship of support is the primary goal.
There is an initial 1-hour orientation for new volunteers, followed by a monthly 1-hour training for all volunteers.
Not interested in mentoring? Help is also needed on the activity committee, special event committee, preparing food for get-togethers and child care during meetings.
DetailsVolunteers should be between the ages of 25 and 90.
