The Babysitter’s Handbook updated July 4, 2007
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--but 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 foot 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.
