The Coddington Road Community Center and the American Red Cross hosted a Babysitter Training Class on Saturday, March 25th. The class was taught by a certified Red Cross Instructor.
Designed for youth aged 11-15, the Red Cross Babysitter Training Class is a great way for your child to prepare for starting their own babysitting business! Whether it is babysitting a few nights here and there or babysitting daily for a family this summer, your children will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to be successful on the job.
Just a few of the many topics covered in Saturday’s class included: basic first aid, what to do in minor emergencies, caring for children of all ages (diapering, feeding, age-appreciate activities), understanding the milestones and behavior of children, finding work, interviewing the family, leadership skills and on-the-job safety (personal safety, inspection checklists, emergency weather readiness, etc) and more!
At this time, our April 8th class is at capacity. The Coddington Road Community Center is currently working with the American Red Cross to add an additional class. To be added to a wait list, please contact Jennifer Dean at jenniferd@coddingtonroad.org.
