Babysitting 101 provides young adolescents with the skills to be safe, nurturing and fun babysitters. Targeting students aged 12 to 14, this class will help participants become more confident, responsible, and prepared caregivers. Babysitting 101 is taught by instructors from Arkansas Children's, utilizing the Safe Sitter curriculum, and provides a great introduction to the basics of babysitting. Choking Rescue, CPR and other essential safety topics are addressed, but this class does not include certification in these areas.

"My favorite thing about the class was how active it was. I felt like I was doing stuff the entire time, and it was really helpful information that I had fun learning about." - Babysitting 101 participant
