Babysitter Training is a program intended for students ages 12 and and up.
This 6.5 hour training is packed full of interesting, interactive activities to teach students how to care for babies and children safely and responsibly. Our skilled facilitators will teach your child the ins and outs of what it takes to become a responsible (and fun!) babysitter! Students who have taken our course feel more confident to stay home alone, especially when they have to take care of younger siblings or other family members.
Topics include: Accident Prevention, Fire Safety, Emergencies, Kids at Different Ages, and Employer/employee Responsibilities.
*PLEASE NOTE: In Manitoba, children must not be left home alone until the are 12 years of age.
All successful participants will receive a certificate upon completion of the course.
