DATELINE: PEMBROKE, MA... A summer Babysitting Course will be offered at Body To Soul Fitness, the all-female gym in Pembroke, MA, beginning in July. Girls ages 11 to 16 can learn how to become the best babysitter in the neighborhood through four weeks of instruction plus an additional two-hour “internship” at Body To Soul’s on-site nursery.
The Babysitting Course will run Monday and Wednesday, July 17, 19, 24, 26 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. plus two additional hours (at the girls’ convenience) of actual babysitting in Body To Soul’s nursery.
Registration for the session is $59 for Body To Soul members and $69 for non-members.
The Babysitting Course will teach girls:
• How to create a safe, fun experience for the kids as well as themselves
• Basic child care techniques such as diapering, feeding and bedtime routines
• Basic First Aid
• Safety skills and Emergency Action Plans
• How to be a leader and come to the job prepared
Deb Forbes, co-founder of Body To Soul, Personal Trainer and mom noted, “Babysitting is a serious job. Caring for young children is not easy. As a mom, I would not hire the sitter who simply arrives at my house, plunks down on the sofa and watches television or talks on the cell phone. I would certainly hire a sitter who has been trained in the basics and first aid over another who may have some experience but no formal training at all.”
To register, contact Body To Soul at (781) 829-2002. A Babysitting Course for the summer has also been planned.
