Babysitting is a great way to earn money - and it is a very important job!  It means providing safe care for infants and children.

Course is open to boys and girls, ages 11 and up.  Class size is limited - registration with payment are required* to secure your space.

At our babysitting course, your child will learn:

  • the responsibilities of a babysitter
  • how to interview for a job
  • what to expect of parents who hire you
  • what parents expect of you, the babysitter
  • how to handle an emergency or illness
  • how to prevent accidents
  • how to play with children of different ages
  • how to select safe toys and games
  • how to supervise children
  • how to diaper and dress infants
  • how to feed babies and prepare simple foods for children
  • what resources the library has available

The cost is $85 per student and includes 2 books, a CD-ROM, and completion certificate.  This class is extremely popular and is offered on a first-come-first-served basis - remember you must pay in full to hold your space.
