✨ Childcare Team Spotlight for Our Children & Screen Time Event ✨

One of the questions we often hear from parents is, “Who will be watching the kids?” and we are excited to introduce the amazing group of young ladies who will be providing childcare during the event!

These four high school students are responsible, kind, and incredibly involved in their school and community. They all maintain excellent grades, participate in multiple extracurricular activities, and work part-time jobs while still finding time to help families in our community.

Ali- is a sophomore who stays active in school and club volleyball, show choir, basketball cheer, and National Honor Society. She enjoys working with kids and is dependable, positive, and great at keeping children engaged.

Callie- is a junior who is very involved in leadership roles including President of FCCLA, Secretary of FBLA, and Reporter of FFA. She also participates in Key Club, Science Club, and National Honor Society. Callie enjoys serving her community and is wonderful with younger children.

Rylee- is a sophomore involved in soccer, Hope Squad, show choir, choir, football managing, and National Honor Society. She is caring, responsible, and enjoys creating a fun and safe environment for kids.

Myah- is involved in National Honor Society, soccer, Hope Squad, and serves as both football manager and show choir manager. She also has five siblings that she enjoys spending time with and often babysits and tutors after school. Myah is patient, dependable, and loves helping younger kids learn and grow.

We are so thankful these amazing young women are helping us make this event possible so parents can relax and enjoy the presentations.

✨ Speaker Spotlight for Our Children & Screen Time Event! ✨

We are so excited to have Christy Jackson, ARNP joining us for our upcoming Children & Screen Time night!

Christy has been a Nurse Practitioner for 26 years, with 25 of those years serving families right here in Harrison County at CHI Clinic in Woodbine. She is a Creighton University graduate, holds a Master of Science in Nursing, and is certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurse Credentialing Center.

Most importantly, she knows our community and our families. 💛

Christy will be sharing a medical perspective that every parent needs to hear. Having a trusted local provider talk about children’s health, development, and well visits and how this all connects to screen time is something you won’t want to miss.

If you have young children (ages 0–5) or know someone who does, this night is truly going to be worth it.
