Eleven dedicated young ladies are now certified and ready to take on babysitting clients!
The group met two Saturdays for a total of 8 hours of training to receive their Red Cross Babysitting Certification.
Some of the training came from a printed manual; however, most of their time was spent discussing and acting out real life situations.
They brainstormed what to do in a variety of situations and helped each other problem solve. They also watched several video clips to reinforce the information they were learning. Much of the second Saturday was spent learning the infant CPR technique. They had to demonstrate proficiency in this before they could be certified by the instructor.
The girls took a pretest and a posttest to help
demonstrate what they were learning. In addition to the CPR proficiency, they had to demonstrate many other hands-on skills before they qualified for certification.
The library hopes to host future babysitting workshops and encourages those interested to let the staff know. We will form a list for future classes. If you're looking for a babysitter, ask about that too. We'll try to pair you up with a recently Red Cross certified babysitter!
