BABYSITTER’S COURSE (11-15 years old)
Does your teen or tween want to care for younger children? Do they want to earn some extra money?
Due to COVID, this Babysitting and Child Care Course is now virtual. Whether you live in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Halifax or St. John’s, anyone with a device and internet connection can take this training. Courses are held in Eastern Standard Time.
This Babysitter training course is designed for youth aged 11 – 15. Participants learn how to run a small babysitting business and how to supervise younger siblings or other children in a safe and responsible manner. Aspiring babysitters also learn basic first aid skills. During this period of COVID-19 we have transitioned to virtual or remote learning with a live instructor.
