Would your child know what to do if the child they were babysitting started to choke on something? Would she/he know what to do if they were taking care of several children and someone came to the door? Does your child babysit younger siblings? Then this course is for them. Your child will learn the responsibilities of having a job, the Rights of a Babysitter, CPR for an infant and a child, diaper changing, infant care and how to feed a toddler, Basic First Aid, child growth and development, and appropriate toys and activities for kids. A police officer or firefighter will speak to them about safety issues. Best of all – they’ll have fun learning all of this! (4 ­ 2.5 hour sessions)

Are you ready to educate your child about the responsibilities of being home alone? Our goal is to assist every student to feel more comfortable while home alone. This interactive course teaches topics such as first aid, self­Heimlich maneuver, reasons to call 911, fire escape plans, microwave safety, online safety, and how to problem­solve ordinary situations. A parent guide, which includes helpful discussion points between parent and child, is included in the student manual. Parents need not attend the class. (2 – 2 hour sessions)
