SUMMARY:Babywearing 101 and Socializing (East\, June)
DESCRIPTION:*——- IMPORTANT UPDATE ——– * \nDear Fellow Babywearers\, \nDue to recent events in the international and local community\, we have decided to cancel our babywearing meetings until further notice. The health and wellbeing of our community are of the most importance. \nWe want to do our part in preventing the spread of Corona Virus/COVID-19. Expectant and new parents have a lot on their plates\, and we want to minimize any risks to them and their family unit. \nFor more information on COVID-19\, see here: https://www.flattenthecurve.com/ \nCarry Me Close Babywearers will continue to operate and provide support online in our Facebook group. If you have any support suggestions that would benefit you and other fellow babywearers online\, please send us a message or post in this thread. Please continue to ask questions\, post photos and request fit checks so we can help you carry. \nThank you for understanding\, and we hope to step it up online to fill in your needs. It was not an easy decision for us to cancel our in-person meetings\, as we know everyone greatly benefits from a little hands-on help. \nSee you online and hopefully in person soon! \nYour loving admin team at Carry Me Close Babywearers Toronto\,\nCate\, Leigh\, Charlene\, Fran\, Becca\, Christine\, Magda\, Nikki and Jennifer \n————————————————————————————– \nWelcome to Babywearing 101! The goal of these meetings is to get people carrying. Trained babywearing educators volunteer their time to give parents and caregivers the skills and confidence to carry their children in comfort and safety. \nMeetings are open to all parents and caregivers (and those expecting to become parents or caregivers). You can read about our Acknowledgements and Standards of Inclusion here: https://carrymeclose.ca/policies/ \nCurrently meetings operate on a pay-what-you-can basis\, with donations directly supporting CMC’s ongoing activities by allowing us to purchase insurance for our volunteers and carriers for our collection. You can read more about donations here: https://carrymeclose.ca/donate/ \nHow Meetings Work: \nFrom 1:30 to 2:00\, we will have time for people to arrive and socialize. There is no instruction during this time\, just getting to know other babywearers in the group.\nFrom 2:00 to 3:30 we offer babywearing instruction.\nWe open with a season-specific reminder about the basics of babywearing safety (Visible and Kissable!).\nMost of the meeting is spent in small groups tailored\, as much as possible\, to the needs of attendees.\nDuring small groups we are usually able to teach the basics of front\, hip and back carrying using a variety of carriers.\nDuring this time educators can also assist with fitting and troubleshooting carriers brought by attendees.\nEducators will provide assistance with special carrying circumstances when possible. \nHow the Carrier Collection Works: \nThe CMC carrier collection includes a wide variety of buckle carriers\, wraps\, meh dai/bei dai\, ring slings and other babywearing options.\nThe carrier collection will be available to all present to learn with and try on for fit during the meeting\, and for our volunteer educators to use for demonstration purposes. \nFAQs \nWho can attend this event? \nAll parents\, caregivers\, and those soon to be parents or caregivers are welcome to attend. \nDo I have to bring a baby to this event? \nWe have weighted demo dolls for those whose baby’s have not arrived. \nCan I bring my older child with me to this event? \nYour older children are welcome to attend with you. We suggest bringing a not too messy snack or small toy to make it easier for them to wait 🙂 \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nThe location is accessible via TTC. The Queen Streetcar is right out front and the Broadview and King streetcars are a less than a 5 minute walk away. \nFor those driving there is street parking in Queen (paid)\, side streets (free) and a green P lot a few minutes north on Broadview. \nDo I have to pay to attend this event? \nMeetings run on a pay what you can donation model. Our suggested donation is $10/ person. All are welcome to attend\, regardless of ability to donate. We wish we didn’t need to ask for money from anyone\, however insurance is expensive (roughly $150/month) and is needed to protect our volunteers. \nDo I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? \nNo! Just show up. We appreciate RSVPs as a courtesy so we know how many to expect\, but we understand that life with children means lots of last minute decisions.

DESCRIPTION:[Please note that the elevator is LIKELY still going to be closed for our meeting. If you come with baby in a stroller please being a lock so you can secure it to a bike post outside. We are very sorry if the elevator closure means you will be unable to participate in this event.] \nWelcome to Babywearing 101! The goal of these meetings is to get people carrying. Trained educators volunteer their time to give parents and caregivers the skills and confidence to carry their children in comfort and safety. \nMeetings are open to all parents and caregivers (and those expecting to become parents or caregivers). \nCurrently meetings operate on a pay-what-you-can basis\, with donations directly supporting CMC’s ongoing activities by allowing us to purchase insurance for our volunteers and carriers for our collection. \nHow Meetings Work: \n\nFrom 1:30 to 2:00\, we will have time for people to arrive and socialize. There is no instruction during this time\, just getting to know other babywearers in the group.\nFrom 2:00 to 3:30 we offer babywearing instruction.\nWe open with a season-specific reminder about the basics of babywearing safety (Visible and Kissable!).\nMost of the meeting is spent in small groups tailored\, as much as possible\, to the needs of attendees.\nDuring small groups we are usually able to teach the basics of front\, hip and back carrying using a variety of carriers.\nDuring this time educators can also assist with fitting and troubleshooting carriers brought by attendees.\nEducators will provide assistance with special carrying circumstances when possible.\n\nHow the Carrier Collection Works: \n\nThe CMC carrier collection includes a wide variety of buckle carriers\, wraps\, meh dai/bei dai\, ring slings and other babywearing options.\nThe carrier collection will be available to all present to learn with and try on for fit during the meeting\, and for our volunteer educators to use for demonstration purposes.
