Child Care for Zumba® classes

After having children, exercise often falls to the wayside for many American women. It's difficult to balance family life, a career, and friends alone. Trying to add regular workouts to a hectic schedule seems almost impossible. My Zumba® classes at Valdosta-Lowndes County Parks and Recreation Authority are now offering child care at the facility to make parents' lives a little easier.

My largest regular class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 pm in the basketball gymnasium at the Parks and Recreation Center at 1901 N. Forrest St, close to the intersection of Park Ave. and Forrest St. We average 50-70 participants each session, and the class atmosphere is truly the epitome of a fitness party! Everyone works out at his or her own level, while having a blast dancing to international rhythms.

We have a wonderful child care provider to keep your children occupied and supervised while you get to work out worry-free! Ms. Monica Martir will have activities for the children to do in a separate room. The cost is just $3 per child for the duration of the Zumba® class.

I trust that my five-year-old son is in excellent hands while I am teaching Zumba®. Ms. Martir has been a child care provider for over 15 years. She prefers supervising children in small settings so that she may give each child enough individual attention. She is comfortable watching children ages two and up. Her experience includes substitute teaching and working with special needs children. She loves caring for children, and their education is extremely important to her. She is also biligual, fluent in both English and Spanish.

Ms. Martir is committed to arriving early to make sure your child is in good hands while you prepare for your workout. She promises to give her undivided attention to the children while they are in her care. Parents can participate in Zumba® without having to worry about finding outside babysitter.

Ms. Martir has just recently made Valdosta her home. She moved from Orlando with her family, and is in the process of establishing her child care business here. If you are in need of a child care provider outside of Zumba®, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Monica Martir at 229.469.2413. Her rates are reasonable and her references are excellent.
