The primary purpose of the Babysitter Training course is to provide prospective youth babysitters with the knowledge and skills necessary for safe and responsible childcare, such as diapering, bottle- and spoon-feeding, age-appropriate games, activities, and dealing with uncooperative children. This training will also help participants to develop leadership skills and become better babysitters. They will learn how to build a babysitting business, keep themselves and others safe, and learn about basic childcare and basic first aid. This training is designed for students ages 11 to 15.
