“Enrolling your child in Babysitters Training is an excellent way to provide them the opportunity to learn important lifesaving and decision-making skills” said Daniel Soule, youth education specialist for the Oregon Trail Chapter. “Our When I'm In Charge training teaches children the skills they need to be safe and make lifesaving decisions if they find themselves home alone or without immediate adult supervision”.
Course offerings include:
Babysitter's Training – The course teaches youth, ages 11 to 15, the skills needed to be prepared and responsible childcare givers. The course covers live-saving emergency care, including first aid, rescue breathing and other appropriate care for younger children. It also teaches child development, infant care (including diapering) and accident prevention. The six-hour, 45-minute course costs $35.
