Display this heart in your window to let the world know your heart is with them during this pandemic. A local mom heard about an effort in the Midwest to display hearts in windows to show support for medical personnel fighting to help COVID-19 victims. Her son and daughter-in-law work in a local ER. She worries about them every day, but knows they are fighting for others and she is thankful. 

Please join us in showing support for them and others who are fighting to stop this pandemic and keep us safe.

On  a sunny Saturday morning, May 18, three boys and eleven girls settled into the Community Room in the Normandy Park city hall to spend a few hours learning new skills.  CPR Seattle provided an instructor to prepare the youngsters to learn about the ins and outs of babysitting through its Babysitter Training Class and Certification.

The  day included practice with partners and lots of time for questions and gaining knowledge about childcare as a neighborhood babysitter, and a delicious lunch. Diapers and toddler mannequins are among the props used to get detailed ideas across to the students. Students learned basics for infant choking and basic steps of CPR. 

After a successful day of learning, the children in the class got an American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI) certificate that assured parents who are future clients that the babysitter from this class has learned about child and babysitting safety from a certified instructor. Children also learned to write a resume to help them build their skills for getting possible babysitting clients. 

It is planned to have training sessions in the future for those girls and boys who want to spend some of their time doing something helpful for the adults and children in their neighborhood plus hone skills that demonstrate responsibility and earn some money too! 

Thank you to all who donated pet food for the pet food drive from April 29 - May 12. Together, the Friends of Normandy Park and local businesses collected over 415 pounds of cat food, dog food, pet treats and supplies to pets waiting to find their new home. 

Thank you to Burien C.A.R.E.S. and Precious the pup for helping us unload the food, supplies and pet treats! Thank you to our business drop sites: Paws in the Park, Soggy Doggy, Northwest Clinic of Chiropractic and Burien Berkshire Hathaway.
