FREE BABYSITTER COURSE FOR YOUTH AGED 12 THROUGH ADULT!!
The Delaware 4-H Operation: Military Kids Program invites Military Youth aged 12 and up to attend a FREE Babysitter training. If all slots are not filled by Military Teens, the program will be offered to non-military youth who are interested in volunteering their babysitting services to military families who have a deployed parent. This is a wonderful training that will allow the participants to complete the full 8 hour babysitter curriculum, as well as become certified in CPR/First Aid.
Babysitting Training – The objectives of the program are:
To familiarize teens with the responsibilities of babysitting
• Provide necessary information, skills and techniques for teens to become competent, caring trustworthy and responsible sitters.
• Help teens develop the confidence needed to handle situations that could happen when they babysit
• Help teens develop a positive attitude about the care of children, and
• Give teens the opportunity to volunteer as a childcare provider for families with a deployed parent so that they can attend military related trainings/events.
