One of the ways that you can engage with your local community is through offering a baby sitting service. This may have particular appeal to single parents or those whose extended family are living at a distance. To know that those that are looking after their children are part of a church and are vetted and qualified can be a great reassurance.
In order to gain such reassurance and a sense of professional competence the British Red Cross offer a course to educate and certificate Baby Sitters to know what to do in the event of an emergency.
