Although every situation is unique, there are some universal skills and techniques that every babysitter should have. Our courses were designed with this principle in mind and can help you deliver the care that families need. Just a few of the things our babysitting classes cover include:
Basic Care for Infants and Children
Basic First Aid
Child Behavior
Age-Appropriate Activities
Emergency Protocols
Professionalism
Leadership
Growing Your Business
