Does your child want to babysit?  Babysitting is a wonderful way to take on new responsibilities and learn how to manage time and money.  Babysitting is much more than doing homework while the child sleeps.  Are you concerned that your child may not be fully prepared to handle all that it involves?  The 4H club offers Babysitting Instruction classes to address such needs.  In the course the child can “learn to become a responsible babysitter.  Sessions include:

Child Safety

First Aid & Emergencies

Feeding & Nutrition

Stages of Child Development

Discipline

Ways to Entertain Children

Business of Babysitting”

A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the course.
