rookie Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Does anyone have any experience with this? My DDs want to enroll. It is a full day course (9-4:30) to prepare them for babysitting. Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My dds took the class and thought it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My niece took this course. I'm pretty sure it teaches CPR and other stuff. I'm fairly certain DD can ask for more $ for her services if she has shown the initiative to be a step above the others. Talk to the teacher of the course to see exactly what it offers.

Leanna Tomlinson Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My girls took this course several years ago, and it was well worth the time. I was much more peaceful knowing that they had taken this course before caring for other families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My dd took it when she was 12 or so. She liked it. She says she learned how to handle situations that have never come up. :) And she feels parents might like that you've taken it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It made me a lot more 'hireable' after I had taken it, because it gave parents peace of mind. Now I want someone who is CPR-trained when I hunt for a sitter myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansamy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I plan to have DS10, who will be 11 (the required age) this summer, take it. I think it will help him for those times when both parents are out of the home, but I don't really need to send them over to my sister's to be babysat.
