Teens, do you love spending time with children? Are you interested in earning spending money by babysitting?
Safe Sitter Classes Teach Necessary Child Care Skills
Taking care of children is a big responsibility. When you accept a babysitting job, it’s not just a play date you are taking responsibility for a child’s life.
We can help you learn the skills you need to take care of children, have fun and earn a little extra money. In our Safe Sitter classes, we teach 11 to 14 year-old’s babysitting basics, with a strong focus on responding to emergency situations.
Skills Learned in Safe Sitter Classes
In our classes, we teach:
- The importance of constant supervision
- CPR
- Choking prevention and response for infants and children
- Safe feeding practices
- Emergency management – When can you handle the emergency situation and when do you need to call for help?
We’ve just added multiple Safe Sitter class dates, and these classes are now being offered in a new, convenient location. Learn more and sign up for our Safe Sitter classes today!
