Babysitter Course (ages 12 – 16)

Students will learn CPR and First Aid techniques for a child or infant, Heimlich Maneuver for choking victims, injury prevention, recognizing safety issues, behavior management, how to care for infants, simple toddler-friendly snack/dinner prep, and bottle warming/infant meals. We discuss the importance of a babysitter checklist and provide an activity bag full of babysitting essentials.

This course costs $75.00 per student and includes 2-year certification in CPR & AED for adults, children & infants through the American Heart Association, lunch, snacks, a babysitter bag with first aid kit, flashlight, activities, and more. Students should bring note taking supplies. Lunch will be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own lunch if preferred. Class times take place from 9:00a.m.-1:30p.m and are limited to 14 students.

Please note: the CPR & AED certification comes with a certificate of completion from the Safety Village. If you need the CPR 2-year certification card from AHA, they charge $17 for one. Please let staff know at the time of drop off and payment for the card can be made at that time.
