Babysitter's Handbook
The Babysitter's Handbook can help you learn about the responsibilities involved in being a good babysitter. Use the handbook when taking the Babysitter's Training Course and then take it with you whenever you babysit. The handbook contains information and fun activities to help you learn about:
Safety and Safe Play— Should they really play with that toy? When is it okay to play outside? Learn how to prevent injuries by watching out for safety-related problems and fixing them.
Leadership— How do you have fun with the kids and still stay in control? Find out the best ways to negotiate, mediate, and encourage positive behavior.
Basic Care— Feeding and diaper changing can be, well, kind of messy. Learn how to handle these situations, and other babysitting basics, like a pro!
Professionalism— What should you ask during a babysitting interview? What do you need to know to have a safe and responsible babysitting experience? How should you act when you are "on the job"? We'll teach you how to put your best babysitter food forward in all situations.
First Aid— Every babysitter needs to know what to do if an accident happens. Get straight-forward advice on how to manage everything from scrapes and bruises to life-threatening emergencies.
