BABYSITTING SAFETY CERTIFICATION COURSE

Our Babysitting Safety Certification Course is for youth ages 11-16 who already babysit, will start sometime in the future, or who simply want to learn how to safely stay home alone or with younger siblings. Cost is $52/participant. We offer these classes periodically for the general public and when we have one available, registration can be found on THIS PAGE. We also will gladly set this course up for you if you have several who are interested. Contact us!
