In this one time class, students will receive "training" and knowledge to add to their babysitting resume. We will discuss safety, guidelines, expectations, and more. This is a perfect class for students interested in babysitting in the future, and also for students who have already spent some time babysitting. The class will be instructional as well as interactive. Students will receive a printable babysitting handbook and a completion certificate after the class has been completed. The following will be covered during this one time class: - safety (the safety topics covered in this course will not include anything medical-they will include topics such as where to keep emergency phone numbers, importance of knowing if there are pools, lakes, etc near by, etc) - prep - expectations and suggestions -do's and do not's - ideas for different ages (playing, learning, etc) - scenario role play and interaction between teacher and students - future resources and tips beneficial to babysitters in training Upon completion of this course, students will have gained an understanding of safety, expectations, and general guidelines for caring for babies and children. Students will need notebook paper and a writing utensil for notes that may be taken to add to their babysitting notebook, that will be available for printing upon completion of this course. There is no prior knowledge required. This is a great place to start for beginner babysitting training or a beneficial as a refresher course as well.
