Have you ever thought about becoming a babysitter but just don’t know where to begin?
If you are between the ages of 11 and 15, join us for our Babysitting Course that will go over topics such as Basic First Aid, babysitting as a business, leadership skills, safety, injury prevention and basic care-giving skills.
You will learn skills for providing basic care, safe play, and first aid while developing your leadership techniques and professionalism. Successful completion will result in your Babysitting Certification.
This babysitting course features "blended" learning with 19 entertaining video lessons that last 2-7 minutes and an in-person training. Each student must watch these videos before attending the in-person, 2-hour class at one of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA branches. Each student will be provided with a link to the online classes and will be given a babysitting workbook. The fee is $30 per student with scholarship assistance available. We want to be sure that every student who wants to take this class, can!
