Babysitting and Fit Kids Gyms

Babysitting

The YWCA has one of the finest babysitting facilities in the Twin Cities. Your kids will love our friendly staff. Babysitting services are offered to infants and children ages 6 months thru 6 years old. This service is included in your membership, so bring the little ones when you come to work out or swim.

Parents are welcome to check in on their child at any time. Please, we ask that if your child is sick that you not bring your child into the facility; for the well being of the other children and the staff.

Fit Kids Gyms

The Fit Kids Gym is an open and safe environment which allows youth members room to run, create, and explore! Kids have access to climbing walls, rope ladders, board games, books, puzzles, Legos, arts supplies and more, all under staff supervision to support positive and constructive play. The Fit Kids Gym is for children ages 5 through 12 years old. Children may play in the Fit Kids Gym up to 2 hours.
