TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - The Fostering Collective in Tyler is hosting a state certified foster care babysitter training event for adults.

The training is critical for East Texas foster families who need temporary care for their children, since untrained caretakers are not allowed to be alone with kids in DFPS.

It’s happening at the New Beginnings Baptist Church in Longview on Sunday, February 4 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

It cost $10 to participate and dinner will be provided.
