Babysitter's Training

The purpose is to provide youth (ages 11 to 15) who are planning to baby sit with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and responsibly give care for children and infants.  In this training, participants will:

  • Develop leadership skills

  • Learn how to develop a babysitting business

  • Learn how to keep themselves and others safe

  • Learn how to help children behave

  • Overcome any reluctance to act in emergency situations

  • Learn to recognize and care for life-threatening respiratory or cardiac emergencies in children and infants

Skills are taught to help sustain life and minimize the consequences of injury or sudden illness until medical help arrives, at the Lay Responder level.  Course training  is offered through various local Community Education Offices.  The training may vary from 6 ½ hours to 12 hours, depending on  whether optional components of Child/Infant CPR and First Aid are included.

 

Please contact your local Community Education Office
 for dates and times of Babysitter’s Training classes.   Pre-registration is required.
