Children class held in Brussels. Sue Mason teaches three

Babysitting is often the first job
for youth, and many can’t wait to get
started. But taking care of children
involves more than just playing with
them - babysitting is an important
job with many responsibilities.
Red Cross Babysitting Training
helps prospective babysitters gain
skills and knowledge needed to be a
competent caregiver. It also gives
parents confidence that the young
caregiver will be capable and
responsible with their children.
When hiring a responsible
babysitter, parents and caregivers
should:
• check references and appropriate
training
• go over rules of the house,
responsibilities and specific
concerns (e.g. allergies)
• leave a number where they can be
reached
• ensure emergency contact
numbers are clearly posted
When accepting a babysitting job,
the caregiver should:
• ask questions about
responsibilities before accepting
• check the home for potential
dangers
• get phone numbers where parents
can be reached
• arrive early to go over the house
and meet the child before the
parent leaves
• discuss hours of work and hourly
rate.
The Stratford/Huron-Perth Branch
of the Canadian Red Cross is
offering the following
courses:
Goderich;
