Babysitter Training

Whether you are gearing up to take care of siblings or thinking of making a little extra cash as a babysitter, you won't want to miss this educational and hands-on learning experience.

Participants learn job ethics and how to present themselves in a professional manner. Upon successful completion of the course, each participant heads home with:

  • Life-long skills
  • A babysitting resume
  • A certificate of completion
  • Opportunities for babysitting experience at Kids Night Out events

* This training does NOT include pediatric CPR training or certification which can be obtained through the American Red Cross and other providers.
