ANDALUSIA, Ala. (May, 11, 2009) – Get trained and get ready to earn some extra money with the American Red Cross’ Babysitters Course scheduled for Thursday, June 4 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Covington County Red Cross office in Andalusia.
This unique course provides valuable training, safety skills, and CPR and First Aid for youngsters – and the young at heart – interested in babysitting to earn some extra money. The class, an in-depth 4-hour course, includes not only CPR and First Aid training, but training in skills such as supervising children and infants, basic child-care skills such as diapering, feeding, and dressing, choosing age-appropriate games and toys, discipline, interviewing for babysitting jobs, communication and much more.
“This is the first time we’ve offered this class in many years,” says Jeffery Biggs, executive director of the Covington County Chapter. “There has been a tremendous interest in offering the class again, so we are listening to our community and bringing the class back.”
Cost for the class is $40, and includes all materials and CPR/First Aid certification. Pre-registration is required, and deadline to register is Wednesday, May 27 at noon.
