Course participants also learn how to control bleeding as well as how to care for seizures and other sudden illnesses, as well as will be offered for specialization in pediatric lifesaving skills.
The Babysitter’s Training course will give 11- to 15-year-olds the skills and confidence to safely and responsibly care for children and infants, as well as some tools to help them get started in their own baby-sitting business.
